If everything evolved from one single cell, where did that first cell come from? Don't give me any of that big bang crap, that sounds like an answer a child would make after being found with a box of cookies she shouldn't have. "Where did you get those cookies?" "There was this big bang, mommy!"

There's nothing that could've caused the big bang if there was nothing.

One last thing, why isn't there more interspecies (is there even any?)? Why isn't there something halfway between human and monkey dug up?

To Lucky: He said it was stupid, but not why it was stupid. Does he have no moronic explanation?

Aye. That's just the thing. God is the only possible thing. People don't want to believe it and invent evolution then tell me my questions are stupid because they can't answer them.

If you DON'T HAVE A FULL ANSWER DON'T REPLY.

Yeah...that is a really dumb question, you need to learn what evolution actually says first before you criticize.

It's almost like saying "And why isn't the shape of this house RED instead of 3?!!!"

Go take a science class dude.

Someone mentioned abgenesis, so you should research that. The short of it is that the first cell was derived from the first congregation of organic chemicals, i.e. peptide chains, nucleotides, etc. Abgenesis is separate from the theory of evolution which explains how species derived from that single cell. The big bang is another seperate theory in itself also. One can proscribe to evolution without proscribing to the big bang theory.

There are species in the fossil record that have been dug up that are physiologically between a human and a monkey. The argument that most creationists put forth is that they want even more links between those species until one could see a very gradual procession of change. You must reason though, that fossils are very rare. If you rationalize the amount of organisms that have existed throughout the millions of years life has existed on earth, and the proportion of how many fossils have been dug up you'll realize that we'll never dig up enough transition species to a creationist's satisfaction. But isn't archaeopteryx enough to show that birds once derived from ancient lizards?

We don't know for sure yet. It happened in the past and we're still looking for answers. For that matter, where did all the stuff from the Big Bang come from? The problem with people like you is, you can't accept the fact that sometimes there are still things we don't know. You want all the answers laid out part-and-parcel for you. You can't accept that some things are unknown. That's why you like your religion. It's all the answers right there. Now, doesn't -that- sound more fake than accepting the fact that we're still learning about our world? Isn't that just a little too easy? And there have been creatures halfway between human and monkey dug up, but they have names like austrilopithacus (I'm sure I misspelled that), not monkey-man version 1. Come on. Get a clue.

Yep, definitely the dumbest question of the day. The organisms that were the first life on earth were not single-celled - they probably didn't have anything as complicated as cells. It is not that difficult to understand (if you know anything about biology/biochemistry) that such organisms are chemically simple enough to form spontaneously, given the chemical composition of the earth at the time. As for the so called "Big Bang," apart from the fact that many astrophysicists, including Stephen Hawking, are now trying to show that that isn't necessarily how it "all started," you would need to read many very large books and take several complex courses in physics and astrophysics to understand it. Next, there have been many, many skeletons of humanoid creatures found that were, as you say "halfway between human and monkey." So congratulations. You're an idiot.

First off your name is very fitting.

Okay...the first cells would have been congregations of amino acids which survived longer because of their grouping. The first self-replicating molecules (ancient DNA) would have been the most important addition to these early cells. From there, it was a very slow process of adaptation...

The big bang is a completely different subject. One has nothing to do with the other. There is lots of evidence to support this theory as well, though. From the ever-expanding universe, to the ancient radiation field that can still be detected, this has been almost proven true.

And lastly, everything is an interspecies. Evolution has not stopped. It just moves at such an incredibly slow rate that it is undetectable in one's lifetime.

You should really go to school.

Edit: Are you really trying to defend this idiocy. Please do yourself a favor, and learn about what you do not understand before you come on here and make yourself out to be an idiot.

"Why isn't there something halfway between human and monkey dug up?"

I'm not even going to go into the monkey thing, because I'm sick of explaining it, so I'll just give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you at least know the tiniest bit about something you're trying to bash. Don't disappoint me.

Anyway, there have been. Every time one is found, someone still wants something in between *that* one. Seems like theists will never be satisfied until there's an example of every single change in the dna leading from a single-celled creature to today. Sorry, but things decay, fossils just aren't that common. Can you honestly tell me that you don't know what 1+X=2 is until I can tell what X stands for?

So closed minded you are.

The big bang theory is probable. There is significant evidence being provided by scientist every day about it. If you're so naive as to not at least RESPECT the idea of the big bang, you've got another thing coming to you.

As and Atheist and Evolutionist, I respect your ideas of creation, but you're really just picking a fight.

By the way, does it makes sense to say "Where did you get those cookies?" "God created them for me!" THAT sounds like a story a child made up.

I dont personally believe in "evolution" per say, and im not here to press my beliefes on anyone. The universe over millions of years spun rocks so fast that they created planets. I dont believe we came from monkeys or apes.but i do believe in natural selection and adaptation and humans have evolved from something inorder to survive..its a very deep thing to just answer on a little website. I personally believe evolution and the big bang is a little more believable than some "spirit" just created everyone from dust. Just my opinion..

(Shakes head and sighs) Creationist...Creationist... Can all people certainly one of you build an argument with out numerable logical fallacies? First DNA can't teach one species developed from the different...Why? as a results of fact Genetic "mutations" happen whilst species evolve from the different, for this reason the DNA would be fairly diverse. in addition to we at the instant are not waiting to precis DNA from bone fossils. to remedy this subject we would desire to seem at contemporary species "Genetic Code," to notice similarities and/or transformations. the reason Biologist think of all life is proper is that all and sundry organisms (with minor exceptions) use a similar genetic code. the whole series of genes on your physique and the series in a frog`s are diverse. The stunning certainty, is the gene that codes for a given amino acid in a frog codes for that individual same amino acid in human beings..... shall we forget approximately approximately DNA and all of the overpowering fossil data, and concentration on yet another prudent certainty. All human toddlers in the embryonic point strengthen and lose "Gill Slits." Biologist term this function "Vestigial Organs" they are traits organisms have yet now no longer desire from pre-evolutionary lifeforms. Can any Creationist answer the question as to why earth based organisms "human beings" strengthen and lose Gills? i think of no longer!

Before single celled life could form, complex proteins and amino acids had to form. Chemical reactions. This whole thing is just one big chemistry set.
