This is also the case for plants, and every living being. We also know how this process happens from a biological perspective. Evolution, etc.
But now the question remains, why does life struggle to survive? This universe, or even Earth, does not care if there is life or not. And actually, chances are every life on Earth will disappear, as it has happened to 99% of all species that have existed. The Sun will eventually grow enough to absorb planet Earth, and then it will explode, making sure nothing will be left.
I know this may be a philosphical question too, not only a scientific one. But as far as I know this question has not been answered. On the big scheme of things, we does life fight to survive?
These are alot of dumb answers but mine is no better.
In nature everything tends to chaos (highest state of entropy).
How ever when life arose it created order (limit entropy for a period of time).
Now through the randomness of chaos arose life and through life arose chaos.
Both cancel each other out but can not survive without one another.
Kinda like yin yang.
