Lee Ballentine:

If death didn't exist, the first single-cell organism would have divided, the two child cells would have divided again, and the process would have kept going until all available habitat, I.e. the primordial ocean, was completely filled with single-cell organisms. Think of a giant bathtub full of jello. Now think of that going on forever, or for as long as the planet lasts. Nothing more complex could evolve. There would be no room.
如果死亡不会降临，那么世界上第一个单细胞生物将会分裂，产生的两个子细胞讲再次分裂，这个过程将会持续下去直到所有的栖息地，比如原始海洋，完全被这些单细胞生物占据。那场景可以想象一下一个充满了凝胶的浴缸。现在设想这个过程继续下去直到永远，直到这颗星球的尽头。没有复杂形态的生物将会进化出来。因为没有地方了。
