Thomas P. ..If you were to put metal scrap in your lawn, would it become a porsche? Why or why not?

Answer 1

According to evolutionary beliefs the scrap metal would one day turn into a porche, or a bentley through a process known as the big bang

Answer 2

Good question. Maybe not a Porsche, but the constituent atoms that make up the Porsche would definitely become something over a long period of time. This is in reference to the chemical processes that cause carbon elements to link up and become proteins, the proteins link in a way to form DNA, the DNA becomes the basis of genetics, and so on and on until you eventually have a human being or a dung beetle - depending on which way the process unfolds. The odds of this occurring are so great that some researchers have said that its like a tornado blowing through a junkyard and assembling a Boeing 747. In spite of this, given a long enough period of time just about anything is possible. That's why we are here now. The Moby song "We are all Made of Stars" has some truth to it. It took the death of stars to form elements like carbon in the first place. Billions of years ago, when clusters of stars were giving up the ghost, they belched out stuff that would eventually be you and I. It's quite poetic actually.

Answer 3

No it is missing the basic elements that comprise of a Porsche, if the scrap is metal it is most likely Iron or Aluminum based. So where would the other elements needed for the interior, the body which have plastic in them, and so forth come from. Same goes for life. Pure Water cannot form a living cell if you apply electricity to it, neither can any water, try it. It will produce Hydrogen and Oxygen gas.

Answer 4

Take a look at various Porsches over the years and you will see how they have evolved into their present form...that's a kind of evolution!

Answer 5

Given sufficient forces applied to it and enough time it could turn into anything. The huge forces that must be applied are unlikely to be found on your front lawn though

Answer 6

Er, no..what i this meant to prove, tht evolution does not happen?

Lets have a brief science lesson shall we?
1)Evolution occurs in LIVING things..y'know, animals, plants, little fish etc
2)Evolution takes MILLIONS of years, with the animal always changing slowly into a new species.

Your question is typically Christian when it comes to this. You attack an idea you neither understand nor care to listen to, hat point do you wish to prove?

Answer 7

No. Junk yards are basically large lawns, and none have yet to produce an abundance of Porches.

Answer 8

Only if you live in Narnia. (see C. S. Lewis, The Magicians Nephew)

Answer 9

If given enough TIME it would!

Darwinism 101!

Time does everything.

Answer 10

most likely it would ruin your lawn mower
