Evolutionists, a challenging question[s] for you, only the clever ones please?

Question

Evolutionists please help me with these questions, it doesn't seem that there are any of you out there capable of awnsering these questions

1. Where did the space for the universe come from?
2. Where did matter come from?
3. Where did the laws of the universe come from (gravity, inertia, etc.)?
4. How did matter get so perfectly organized?
5. Where did the energy come from to do all the organizing?
6. When, where, why, and how did life come from non-living matter?
7. When, where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself?
8. With what did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction reproduce?
9. Why would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kind since this would only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of survival?
10. How can mutations create any new, improved varieties?
11. How can you believe in something and not call it a religion?

My answers to all above is Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God ..."

Answer 1

My goodness! Just think of the money your suggestion can save us in terms of education. And all that research we've doing in physics & biology can just be stopped! Who knew that all you had to do was refer to a readilly available text produced by the scribes of primitive desert dwelling tribes? Wait until the Nobel Committee gets wind of this!

By your questions I can tell you've taken upon yourself to follow this revolutionary new educational method. So let me address just a couple of general points - that those silly scientists who haven't caught on to your approach insist on.

You seem to need a lot of answer about where things "come from." This tells me you conceive of the components of reality in the same way you might think of a table produced in shop class. In other words, to you it seems logical that the wood came from a tree, the tools came from a factory, etc. And in day to day life that DOES seem pretty logical.

Those unenlightened scientists insist that aproach is fraught with unwarranted assumptions. When it comes right down to it, they'd say, it's not clear at all that things have to "come from" someplace. When make a table, we merely reorganize existing materials. In fact, we really create nothing - it was already there in another form.

But of course your explanation has the advantage that it incorporates common sense - very common I might add - with one little twist. You say everything comes from the God factory, end of story. (Of course in order to have that work we have to make God really special, and beyond the same logic we applied to the real universe. Otherwise we'd have the same problem accounting for God as we did for the rest of reality.)

This last little bit of wizardry seems to be a cause of problems for scientists. But hey! A little magic is a small price to pay for such a complete and air-tight explanation.

So keep up the good work and we hope to see more labs & universities closed down soon. (Is there anything in Genesis about arthritis?...)

Answer 2

1. Different theories. I believe in static Universe. Basically, The space in the universe is expanding. It's the "space" between galaxies. So, the space came objects growing farther apart, because that's what is needed for a space. :)
2. Some say the Big Bang; me, I'm not sure, though it may have always been here in one form or another.
3. As above.
4. Matter isn't very organized, IMHO. It's scattered all over the place. Lol, I know what you mean. The Universal Constanants. Matter does what it does because of it's properties.
5. As above.
6.Life came from organic chemicals. Basically, Life is a simple way of saying animated interactive solidified carbon based structures.
7. It didn't learn, it began by copying. Somehow we got in to the move n' groove thang. A dangerous evolution, but very fun.
8. It probably wasn't just one, It'd have to be in a group. The genes were there, but most likely dormant...Like a kid with blue eyes and the parents and grandparents had brown. (Yeah, I know it's recessive trait. :P)
9.Uh, It increases the chance since you need to propogate for the survival of the species.
10. Be creative. Creationists always bring up mutations, as if it's the only thing that helps evolution.
11. Religion denote worship of a deity.

My answer: If Evolution isn't the answer, then the Pagan gods created the universe and everything in it! Ha! Beat that, kiddo! :)

Answer 3

1. No one knows where the space for the universe came from, but we do know that it existed before the Big Bang, at which point it was infinitely curved, and therefore infinitely small. This question has nothing to do with evolution, by the way.
2. Same as question 1. It all existed before the Big Bang in an infinitely small ball, but the nature of such a dense mass prevents us from knowing its origins.
3. The laws of the universe all came about from the nature of space and matter. It's difficult to be more specific than that without talking about specific theories and taking a very long time to do it. Still nothing to do with evolution.
4. Matter is not perfectly organised, what are you on about? What is so perfect about a rock, for example? I don't think I or you know what you mean here.
5. The energy of the Big Bang did most of the initial organising. By the way, energy can be neither created nor destroyed, so it didn't really come from anything.
6. Life came from non-living matter billions of years ago in the ocean as a result of long, complex chemical reactions combined with certain amounts of heat and light.
7. Until it could reproduce itself it wasn't life.
8. With another cell capable of sexual reproduction, of course. see my answer to 7.
9. Initially no organisms a) were capable of complex thoughts such as "another mouth to feed" or b) fed their offspring.
10. When any animal is born it is slightly different to others of its species. If these differences are useful, it is more likely to reproduce and therefore passes its genes (including its mutation) onto its children. Over time these differences can spread to the entire species.
11. I believe my shoes are tied, that's not a religion. I don't think you know what you're talking about there, either.

Pretty much all of that is horribly simplified, but it should give you a general idea.

Answer 4

I understand where you are coming from. If you don't know or can not figure out something then automaticly when there is a simple answer rather right or wrong then we go to it, here you use God created it all.
Who then created God. If you are saying with all of your questions that this all must have been created because it all had to start somewhere, then where and when was God's start? He didn't just appear, He didn't just always was because the universe isn't just always was, so where was His start.
Trying to understand and wanting proof is a normal response to life. Not having the answers is frustrating.
If God of the Bible created everything, then why did He allow evil? Why did He created the tree of knowledge which tempted Eve into origial sin? Why if what He wants is our eternal adulation and praise did He give us free choice to reject Him? Why did He have one set of rules for the Jews under the law and then change it to salvation thru Christ when He still touts the tribe of Abraham as His chosen ppl? Why does He want and need our eternal presents when we are the inferiors to Himself? Is He self centered and egotistical by expecting all of this or does He just believe we owe Him that much for being created?
You see there are things that not even the Bible has the answer too. Any answer to these and more would be ones of speculation and a matter of the answerers own faith.
You tend to forget that faith is that giant leap from fact to understanding without proof. And faith is personal even in the Bible. It is a one on One with your belief and does not have to be reconciled with worldly, man made religious organization.

Answer 5

What do most of those questions have to do with evolution? 1-5 relate to the existance of the whole universe, not just life on Earth and 5-9 are regarding abiogenesis.

The only one that is remotely related is question 10 for which the answer is demonstrated by bacteria, the mutate and gain resistance to antibiotics.

As for question 11 - saying that is like saying belief in gravity is a religion.

I'm sorry but you'll have to come up with actual questions about evolution next time.

Answer 6

I started to make a list of answers, but many of them we do not know. These are all gaps in our knowledge. These gaps are normally filled with "God did it!" This is called the "god gap"

On the other hand there are people that can accept we do not know everything and actually try to figure out the answers. When we do find these answers it has caused the church to feel threatened and persecute these people until the evidence is so overwhelming even the church must retreat.

You should just rejoice that we have not figured these things out and there is still room for your god.

Answer 7

Yes, in the beginning------but! That does not mean that the 7 days was in our day system. It could have been millions of years.

Why can't you accept that G-d is G-d, and He created it all, and why does it matter how?

I have read Christian and Jewish writings (and, tho I am no scholar on the Qur'an, I believe something there also means this), that says G-d created the earth, and gave us all things we need-to better it (our brains). Without our helping G-d, we are not working with him, to better our world, and we must do this to have a real relationship with Him.

Can't this be an evolution?

Why does it matter if it all started with a ''Big Bang'' and continues to improve? It is not that G-d could not have given us perfection (by many's idea of perfection)-----he just keeps his perfection on going.

Answer 8

on questions 1-10, thats the point of science. To discover things we can't explain. Also there is a few theorys on how the universe started. On question 11, I don't call believeing in something a religion because religion is mainly the thought that something we can't completely understand controls our lives like some puppet(it isn't like this in some religions though).

Answer 9

Two words will answer questions 1 through 10 very simply: Intelligient Design. And by this, I mean the original meaning, before the term was hijacked by the fundy Xians, which is Theistic Evolution. The deity created the Universe, then set it in motion with the Universal Laws of Nature.

Evolution and God are not mutually exclusive. It only becomes so when you say a group of books obviosly written by men to be the mythology of their religion is the divinely inspired word of God, when there is no evidence that the Deity had noting to do with it and much evidence against it!!!

Your first question shows your lack of knowledge in Science. But that's nothing new. Christians tend to lack knowledge when it comes to Science. Almost as if they say, "Momma says that Science is the Devil!"

Anyway, space does not exist. Space is simply the lack of matter. Its just like cold and darkness do not exist. They are the absense of heat and light, respectively.

Answer 10

HAHAHAH Clever ones only allowed to answer to these? LMAO

You know, it is ok to NOT KNOW some things

you do have some good questions there, many people are looking into them in order to answer them. Maybe you could add to the field of studies. However,You will have to come up with something a little more substantial than "God Done it"
Evolution <> Cosmology
