for all non believers?

Question

if u dont believe in the bible and in God then explain how everything came to be on this earth. we had to get here some way and if u say we evolved from apes or some other animal the how did they get here. i would really love to know ur view on this.

Answer 1

Its not about admiting you know how..... its admiting we DONT know how.
Either way you go, evolution or creation, the TRUTH is you dont KNOW how!!. the day you realize that, you may go free.

Answer 2

Okay, I actually do believe in God and literal Genesis, but I can explain evolution and all that anyways...

The universe started with a "big bang" and is continually expanding. Everything is becoming more chaotic, but things can still become more ordered by taking energy from other systems. (This is how evolution (simple to complex) could have still happened in spite of the growing disorder overall.) Anyways, all the elements, solar systems, stars, planets, etc would have been formed somehow during this process. (Sorry, I'm a botany major, physics and I don't get along too well.) I've never read anything that I could understand that explained where the laws of physics, etc came from, not that there isn't anything out there, I just haven't read it yet.

Anyhow, earth forms and it is just the most ideal little planet for carbon based life to form, good distance from the sun, etc. The theory is that the chemicals for life were on the surface, interacting together. (You'll hear this called the primordial soup.) Now, these chemicals formed bubbles of biochemical compounds (amino acids), and they in turn became the first simple life.

These first simple organisms (prokaryotes) were like plants in that they could take carbon dioxide (the stuff that we breath out) from the air and using energy from the sun, produced oxygen. (Exactly like plants and prokaryotes still do today.) Over time, the ozone layer formed, giving creatures protection from the sun, (up until then, they could only have lived in sheltered crevices and such) and oxygen to breath. So now it was possible for creatures to leave their protected areas and for creatures that breath oxygen to form.

Therefore, there would have been a protected planet with life just ready to evolve. Over time, mutations would occur, and organisms with new mutations would be able to out compete others, until lo and behold, intelligent life emerges. I don't actually think that evolutionists believe that we came from apes, but instead a common ancestor for both. (I could be wrong.)

The reason that it is so easy to believe evolution, is because many of the principles can be easily tested today, like inheritance principles and mutation. When one can observe these phenomenon, it's easy to believe a theory that is built upon it. But remember, these observable traits of inheritance by no means preclude God, and when looked at from other angles, they can even support literal Genesis. Evolution is not fact, and it can not be proven because it can not be reproduced, but neither can seven day creation. People can offer proof, but they can not prove either opinion.

I hope this helps clear it up a bit.

Answer 3

There's lots of possible commonsense and logical reasons, which I suspect you may difficulty understanding, so to throw a little spice your religious way, consider the following ...

Human beings could be the next God, Adam and Eve.

Imagine the future, technology and space travel have advanced beyond all of today’s comprehension. In order to spread the human race around the universe, a couple (male and female) are transported to another planet in another solar system many millions of light years away from Earth. The planet has the necessary environment to sustain human life.

The couple are given an instruction booklet of do’s and don’ts in order to happily survive and flourish, and then the space traveller leaves for good and returns to Earth. The couple get down to business and breed.

In thousands of years to come, that new planet of humans will believe that the space traveller was God, the original couple was Adam & Eve, and that the instruction booklet was the Bible. Straight forward. Imagine where the current Bible’s Adam and Eve came from.

Open up your mind, you may not even be human, but that's another story.

Answer 4

*sighs*

The universe was started with the Big Bang. If you consider that you need a God to create a big bang, fine. I don't, considering that if you say: "Everything needs a first cause", you need to show first cause for God, ad infinitum, until there are infinite Gods. Thus, I don't need a God to create the big bang.

From there, an explosion ripples throughout the Universe such that it's constantly expanding. (We know this due to the red-shift in luminosity of the stars, proven by the Doppler Shift. We can also detect the background microwave radiation caused by this effect through the COBE satellite.)

From there, it's all physics as we know it. Graviational pull pulls gases together, they form stars. The gravity from stars pulls dust and silicone and metals together to form planetites. Planetites (at intervals that can be determined through pull together to form Kepler's Laws of planetary motion) form together to form planets.

Planets have gravitational pull, and gases condense to form a thin atmosphere above the planets. Atmosphere leads cooling, which leads to water. Gases have static electricity that generates lightning. Lightning electrifies a pool of gases, similar to the Miller-Urey experiments, which forms amino acids and compounds. (Alternatively simple RNA sequences). That brings us to evolution (growing smaller structures into bigger structures), which can be shown to generate all the species on the planet.

... which gives you us, some of who still believe that "God did it" is an appropriate reply when asked "How did life begin?".

Answer 5

You need to know something very important about today’s people. People are very sophisticated thinkers and will not just close their minds to one box of faith. Life is not about believing in one book, it’s about understanding your place in it. Remember religion was brought down to earth thousands of years ago and there are a significant number of people who need to go beyond these books of all faiths to gain an understanding of life after they have gain enough knowledge from them. It really does not matter to people how many proofs you can find in the bible or the Koran or the torah about gods existence. It’s about what is the stuff you need to do in your time on this earth to understand yourself, your mind, your perspective.

Before, people did live in a closed mind set to only look at one religion, but now the world has evolved and children are getting smarter about other cultures.

The question is no more do you believe in god, it’s more do you understand existence. To do that you have to look at all knowledge, all cultures and everybody’s feelings on it.

Answer 6

Evolution. Humans and apes share a common ancestor. This common ancestor is a derivative of the universal ancestor that all species share. The universal ancestor came from amino acids that could have formed from the elements and conditions of earth's atmosphere at the time.

Answer 7

We origionally evolved from a simple organsism made form a chemical reaction a few billion years ago, since then, the weaker cells have died off leaving the strongest creatures alive on earth.

A silly Idea really, If a cell would have been made by a chemical reation, it would have been a dead cell.

Answer 8

Evolution

Answer 9

There is a theory about a massive explosion between matter and antimatter particles which left a residue of matter, and this huge explosion led to the formation of earth and from than on-evolution. Sorry not quite clear explanation probably, I am not american and this is not my personal opinion, just a theory I read about.

Answer 10

Abiogenesis has been sufficiently explained and documented for years.

Either you are deliberately avoiding the facts (a standard tactic of the religious) or you are only listening to those who taught you religion (thus demonstrating an unwillingness to think for yourself).

Answer 11

Carl Sagan proposed that life is traveling throughout the universe in the form of microbes and when it lands on a planet that is hospitable, it flourishes. No one knows how life evolved, but it is obvious it did, so why worry about it?

Sounds far more reasonable than a giant magician waving his magic wand.

Where did your giant magician come from? And, where is he now?
