Is it true that we all originate from 'blue-green' algae?

Question

I was told that a comet or meteor brought some of the algae to earth and it evolved into all the living creatures now on earth. And here's me thinking it was God...what a knob-head! ...must ask for my money back from the church collection box, lying b*stards!

Answer 1

no one really knows where life originated

Answer 2

There is a lot of speculation on the start (the comet theroy being one of many hypotheses), but the end result and path are well established.

Evolution is 100% world-wide accepted fact, including the evolution of man and the fact that life origionated at the single cell level.

There is ZERO evidence for a higher being causing anything. This is why people who are religious need faith, you can't see or study the actions of a deity, by definition. Evolution has ZERO faith and ALL evidence.

Scientists (real ones) have been studying and supporting evolution for over 150 years, and still nothing has pointed to creationism. There is clear links and transitional forms between everything in the fossil record to the Class-Family level, if not Genus-Species level. And this includes humans, which there are several 'missing links' which are well described and studied, people just choose to ignore this. Sure, there are still things we don't know, but that's why science is not stagnent and dead. We learn more every day, that's what happens when you keep an open mind and follow the scientific method.

If Creationism was correct and science could definitively prove Creationism (and thus the existence of God), why would they not? That would be the greatest scientific discovery in the history of the world. No one would pass that up to maintain the 'status quo'. There is no conspiracy to hide creation evidence. Anyone who knows real scientists knows they are glory-mongers first. They love to prove others wrong to enhance their own standing. And if any scientist could prove Creation/God, it would've been done a long time ago.

Any inference to a higher being can be done by FAITH and faith alone, by definition. Complexity does not equal diety.

Go to a museum, take a class in biology, go to reputable sites on the Internet (like AAAS: http://www.aaas.org/news/press_room/evolution ) and find out for yourself.

Answer 3

We did not originate from anything that is living today. Every living thing on the planet has been evolving for the same length of time. For instance humans did not evolve from chimpanzees a few million years ago, both species have evolved from a common ancestor that lived back then.

If you go way back to when life began, both humans and blue-green algae have the same ancestor that we have both been evolving from. Some quicker than others.

Answer 4

Einstien Said "God is in the Details" and he's definetly Smarter then I.

It's been theorized that the starting point for life orginated from a comet hitting Earth, but that predate Algea, which (since it excreate oxygen) cause the first great exstinction of most prior forms of life.

Answer 5

Yes - according to scientists. But isn't it also true that blue-green algae originated from thin air? Life just sort of appeared out of the blue on our developing planet, according to the same community - the scientists.

Answer 6

Hi. You can thank the algae for the oxygen that allowed life to improve, and no more.

Answer 7

It's a very new theory, and it's still not been proved. So don't stop going to the church just yet.

btw to ^^^ there is 100% evidence that the universe was created by god-like being because of the element of design in the cosmos.

Answer 8

maybe your not a clone if you come from this since blue green algae is suppose to kill frogs and prohibit frog cloning.

Answer 10

I say no. but that depends on who you are asking.
