Life Establishment on Urantia

58:4.1That we are called Life Car­ri­ers should not con­fuse you. We can and do carry life to the plan­ets, but we brought no life to Uran­tia. Uran­tia life is unique, orig­i­nal with the planet. This sphere is a life-mod­i­fi­ca­tion world; all life ap­pear­ing hereon was for­mu­lated by us right here on the planet; and there is no other world in all Sa­ta­nia, even in all Neb­a­don, that has a life ex­is­tence just like that of Uran­tia.

58:4.2550,000,000 years ago the Life Car­rier corps re­turned to Uran­tia. In co-op­er­a­tion with spir­i­tual pow­ers and super­phys­i­cal forces we or­ga­nized and ini­ti­ated the orig­i­nal life pat­terns of this world and planted them in the hos­pitable wa­ters of the realm. All plan­e­tary life (aside from ex­tra­plan­e­tary per­son­al­i­ties) down to the days of Cali­gas­tia, the Plan­e­tary Prince, had its ori­gin in our three orig­i­nal, iden­ti­cal, and si­mul­ta­ne­ous ma­rine-life im­plan­ta­tions. These three life im­plan­ta­tions have been des­ig­nated as: the cen­tral or Eurasian-African, the east­ern or Aus­tralasian, and the west­ern, em­brac­ing Green­land and the Amer­i­cas.

58:4.3500,000,000 years ago prim­i­tive ma­rine veg­etable life was well es­tab­lished on Uran­tia. Green­land and the arc­tic land mass, to­gether with North and South Amer­ica, were be­gin­ning their long and slow west­ward drift. Africa moved slightly south, cre­at­ing an east and west trough, the Med­i­ter­ra­nean basin, be­tween it­self and the mother body. Antarc­tica, Aus­tralia, and the land in­di­cated by the is­lands of the Pa­cific broke away on the south and east and have drifted far away since that day.

58:4.4We had planted the prim­i­tive form of ma­rine life in the shel­tered tropic bays of the cen­tral seas of the east-west cleav­age of the break­ing-up con­ti­nen­tal land mass. Our pur­pose in mak­ing three ma­rine-life im­plan­ta­tions was to in­sure that each great land mass would carry this life with it, in its warm-wa­ter seas, as the land sub­se­quently sep­a­rated. We fore­saw that in the later era of the emer­gence of land life large oceans of wa­ter would sep­a­rate these drift­ing con­ti­nen­tal land masses.
