Why was life established in the liquid medium?

The establishment of life in the liquid medium was not accidental; it is difficult to imagine any kind of complex chemical system capable of synthesis and replication, of dealing with the atoms and molecules that make up it, and of harvesting nutrients and vital components from its environment – that is, a system that exhibits the properties by which it half-lives – except in a liquid medium. As A. E. Needham points out in his book, The Uniqueness of Biologics, we all know that the other two phases must be excluded from matter: the solid phase, and the gas phase, for very good reasons. In the case of the solid phase, whether the crystal of it is fixed to form atoms in a regular crystal matrix, or the glassy one, in which atoms are convex to occur irregularly, the atoms are connected to their neighbors. Gas, a cherished exception to the rule that scattered systems in gas are rare. However, the rapidity of the fading of cloud models graphically demonstrates the inadequacy of gas as a medium that supports scattered and stable systems. If the laws of physics confine matter to two phases (solid and gaseous), and cancel out the liquid phase, it is almost certainly the absence of life, which we have previously defined as: a complex chemical system, capable of synthesising and copying itself, dealing with its parts, and bringing nutrients and vital components from its environment. Because the outcome of the debate on the ideality of water for its biological role appears cumulatively, and requires relatively careful reflection of each individual adaptation to water, it is important not to cut short the talk of any adaptation, even if it is known to all, so we present the evidence as comprehensive as possible and in some detail. - Dr Michael Denton. — Source: Published on Facebook's "Braheen Center" page
