What's the evolutionary explanation that we find the blue marble so beautiful?
Our ancestors never saw Earth from outer space so why do we get that deep unexplainable feeling of happiness when we see it?
Do animals feel the same when they see Earth from outer space?

Because our eyes are designed to find blue and green striking and it's obvious why a planet with a mix of striking colors is more beautiful than a bunch of worlds that are just a single color.
Looking deeper, you could also argue that Earth in partiuclar inspires emotions because it is so much more complex than other worlds and involve everything that any individual human cares about. They therefore value views of the Earth more in the same way people value paintings with deem symbolism more.

That's actually kind of terrifying with it dropping off into space so suddenly.

How is it possible to think the moon is black and white? Literally every photo ever clearly shows it's gray. If you look up in the sky it's clearly gray. Only cartoon illustrations show a white moon. Do people think the entire surface of the moon is made of gypsum?

>being this much of an dweeby i fucking love science fag
Okay but what about this deep inexplicable feeling of desire, fascination and feeling small and lost and at the same time happy when you look up the stars?
>>8080981
Because it is
Looking at the earth from space you'll see pic related

Because we know what it's home to and we know that places like the moon and Mars are lifeless wastelands with nothing interesting going on unless your a geologist and even then the earth is infinitely more interesting for that

At least put some effort into it.

>wanting an autismal evolutionary explanation what is ineffable and irreducible
Fuck off with this science worship bullshit
