If every living thing was destroyed right now, how long would it probably take for the world to get back to the way it is now? Would it ever happen? Since we got here once, would it possible for the world to go back through it's evolutionary phases over several billions of years and for us to be created again?
If everything was destroyed today...
More info, if everything was destroyed, we wouldn't exist
So, no man, no nothing.
However if the people survived it would take some time to rebuild but not as long as first time

If Earth were to become devoid of all life,
a dead planet like Mars,
and assumeing that the mass of water and
the orbit around the sun would still be the same
then the stage would be set for the whole evolution thing to reoccur.
Just waiting for that initial spark of life from either divine intervention
or an alien cell to find it's way here.
But once a creature developes the capacity to read,
their advancement would be much faster than ours
because of the relics left behind.

Just how many relics would be left after many millions of years? The oldest things we can find now are just thousands of years old: they might be worn away before the first million years went by. I wonder if any of the satellites have a stable enough orbit to last that long... That would certainly be a shock to a newly space-faring race. I wonder if they would take them to be alien craft or if they would realize that they came from Earth long ago? Or, better yet, have them make their first moon landing and find the American flag there complete with footprints...
I think the miracle of life cannot be destroyed. But of course I am not saying to what you want, the life will always be here. We must protect it with all power we have from it. One day the evolution can get back to a point of higly intelligent creatures, but who knows. This tendency to create more and more complex biochemical intities is really fascinanting and no one knows from where it is. Is it some nature law? Something like small vortexes in 3D tends to disipate and in 2D tends to create even bigger vortexes? I don´t know but I admire the nature and it´s capability to do all of this amazing things we can see all around us.
I think the chances that evolution would produce homo-sapiens again, given a fresh start, are remote. I'm not convinced that the evolution of a big brain is inevitable or even likely.
It must take a long time for the earth to recover. Hummm.... Ten billion years or more?

Just finished watching "Life After People", on History Channel. If the planet was relieved only of people, then it would take little more than 500 years for nature to completely take over again. If the world was destroyed then well...there would be nothing to rebuild.
Well if ALL life would be destrpyed (also every bacteria) maybe there wont be any life. Some scientist believe that because of the moon standing closer to the earth (yeah closer than now) it created DNA and therefore creting us.
According to them the super tides created by the mean created strings of DNA which eventually evolved to us.

Perhaps intelligent life would get a chance to appear?
I think earth become same like the other planet, cold and no lifes
