If we came from apes thru evolution, how were the apes created?

Question

/

yes, i understand , but the question relates to any initial mammal created, by what?

WHERE is the PROOF that microorganisms started the entire human race? And How were these organisms formed?

FYI- i don't believe this theory

RONINTAMA- Thank you for your scientific explaination, however, to believe the the exquitisitely detailed beauty of a flower or the vivid and bright colors of tropical fish or exotic birds and the INSTINCT these animals have towards hunting, nurturing etc...came from some lightning bolt. Not even close.

hi SPARKIPLA, thank you but can you respond to my last comment?

Dennis Fargo- ...good answer

ANISHA-Excellent point, but still no one seems to be able to answer effectively my last comment regarding the animals and their instincts and the flowers etc...

WIDEAWAKE-What are your thoughts then since you're such a staunch disbeliever in God on my comments about the flowers and instincts and such?

Salient2- you don't sound so sure of your last statement to Kendal. Any supporting claims?

RONINTAMA-I was hoping for such a good explanation from you. Your reasoning is shaky at best.

Answer 1

Listen friend this may help you about the microorganism question.

Did you know that other then single cell organisms the smalled life is 6-20 cells in size? and these organisms are parasites, meaning they live off bigger life forms.

no double celled organism has been found present today, nor in the fossil record.

I did microbiology at university of sydney, and the rate in which many bacteria reproduce is astonoshing, yet none of them have evolved into a double celled creature.

Hope this helps, God Bless!!!

Evolution is a theory. As a theory, it is successful because a) it does not contradict observation, and b) it can be used to make predictions. Nobody knows precisely what caused the initial spark of life, and they probably never will. The best we can do is perform experiments and observe life to develop a theory. If we observe something that contradicts the theory, then we must modify the theory or create a new one to match the observation.

Whether you believe the theory or not is irrelevant, because as long as it can be used to make accurate predictions, we may as well treat it as correct. The theory tells us what will happen in a given set of circumstances.

Religion and science are totally opposite. Science is about evidence and theories. Religion is about faith. You cannot prove or disprove the existence of God. If there was a way to prove the existence of God, then it would become science. The reason you cannot prove the existence of God is because of the very nature of God: God is outside the physical realm, a supernatural being.

Religion and science are not totally incompatible however. When that first micro-organism in the primordial ooze was formed, who is to say that it wasn't God that zapped the lightning bolt? And who is to say that it isn't God who is directing the random mutations of DNA that lead to genetic diversity and ultimately the evolution of humankind? Because we cannot prove or disprove this sort of thing, it becomes a matter of faith - some say God did it, some say it was just random.

Think of it this way: if we say the DNA mutations are random, can we then predict what the next DNA change will be? No. If we say the DNA mutations are caused by God, can we predict what the next DNA change will be? No. However, evolution as a whole is predictable. Science tells us what happens, and we use religion to try and work out why.

Answer 3

Take a chemistry class if you want to understand better.

All things are made of atoms, including DNA, which mutates to create new forms of life in the process we describe as evolution.

All organic life requires carbon. Carbon on earth = life on earth. Atoms move, group up in ionic and covalent bonds, create new things. Carbon groups up with other stuff, creates new organic compounds, until eventually you have an organism.

Now I hear you saying "But where do the atoms come from?!"

No one knows. That's right. Being a nonreligious person doesn't make me an automatic believer in the Big Bang. You're so willing to accept that God came from nothing and always existed - suppose you're wrong, and atoms are the ones that always existed? We can verify the existence of atoms, and that sure would make a lot more sense, especially considering that matter cannot be created or destroyed...

Everything came from a tiny single celled organism which sprung to life, theoretically, from some source of energy, most likely a lightning bolt, hitting some "Primordial Ooze", thusly sparking life. (It has been done to some extent in a laboratory). This then began to divide, just like the cells in our body, and drifted around the planet, encountering different elements and undergoing "micro-evolution" and "eating" the different sources of enegery (food), and adapt to take those in. Some got bigger as seen fit (like in the "cold" regions), and would naturally begin praying on the smaller ones when they drifted to them, since they were a prime source of energy. The small ones would then "micro-evolve" a defense mechnism. This goes on for millions of years, until you start seeing groups of single celled organisms joining together in a sort of a tribe as defense (Sort of like how fish do in the sea and can actually sense where each other fish is). Eventually, you'd see certain "tribes" joining up for common survival. These would be the most primitive multi-cellular organisms. Then it goes to amphibious animals, to land animals, and eventually apes. I don't wanna go through all of that, but hopefully you got the just of it.

--In the original primordial ooze, there was a very large and concentrated amount of energy source (In theory of course). By the time that these organisms were taken out of this enviroment, they would "know", so to speak, that they need to absorb energy. This would become the instincts. As for the "beauty" in the universe, I offer you this explination. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."

If the universe turned out different, would we not then find that beautiful to our psyches, even if our current psyches found it ugly? Would we know anything else? What's to say this universe is ugly in comparison to the possible outcomes?

Answer 5

They were not "Created" they evolved. I see no reason to believe anything is ever created. We have never ever observed anything being "created". All we ever see are things selected and reordered.

ktjokt -- Africa became very dry as the result of a severe ice age. Our ancestors came out of the forests and needed to adapt to survive and others stayed in the forests and did not have the pressure to change quite as drastically. They were the ancestors of our chimp cousins.

ktjokt I could just as easily ask you if God made Adam out of dirt, then How come there is still dirt?

kendal multiple cell organisms are believed to have evolved from colonies of single cell organisms. Not from individual organisms

Answer 6

some molecules binded together in a complex clemical reaction to form a basic protoorganism. Eventually these reactions became more complex and grew to become various simple bacteria. They then merged together in a symbiotic relationship and became one. That protist eventually evolved into a more complex life form...
(fill in the fossil record)
...and Homo erectus is thought to be the direct ancestor of H. sapiens. apes and humans share a common ancestor who shared features of each.

Answer 7

I like to look at evolution as Gods way of creating.
The whole processes started long ago with single cell organisms and worked its way up just like God planned it.

Answer 8

Evolution thru Existence

Answer 9

I have one better for you. If we came from apes through evolution, then why do we still have apes today??? Why didn't they all evolve ????

Point is, we didn't evolve from apes. We didn't evolve from anything except Adam and Eve. Case closed. No need to argue it further.... ya know????

For Salient.... You are right, God made Adam from dirt. Adam did not "evolve" (the way evolution theory states) from dirt.. He was created from it... Big difference between evolving from something and being created from something. Also, I am not denying that things evolve over time. I do believe that humans have had to evolve due to changes in environments. BUT, we have evolved through time from other human beings. NOT FROM ANIMALS. For instance, our appendix at one time was another intestine. At one time, it served a much greater purpose than it does now. Our body's have evolved due to changes in diet and climate. Not because our distant ancestors were monkeys, fish, etc.

Answer 10

well....they evolved as well. Haven't you seen the process of evolution of the primitive men? sapiens, homo sapiens..., homo erectus..?

all living creatures started from a microrganism that eventually evolved.
