I am Curious. Wer we came from?

Question

If we came from God? Where God came from? If we came from cell? where do dis cell came from? If we came from apes? Who made the Apes? Sorry for asking this I'm just Curious!!!

Answer 1

Well if one assumes we came from God, then it is invalid to ask where God came from; before God created the universe, there would have been no time (time itself being a fuction of one's movement through space), thus there would have been no progression of events, and as such one no longer needs to have an origin (which is a temporal concept).

Similarly, if one disregards God but believes in the Big Bang (not, the two concepts are not exclusive of the other), then the same reasoning really applies. All matter was condensed into a gravity singularity, where all the laws of physics break down (including time). After it explodimated, eventually random chance brought about stars (which went nova to create other stars, which in turn created other stars, and finaly enough higher elements such as iron for planets to form and creatures evolve). Organic matter originated from random convergences of atoms, which inturn led to cell-like creatures that could reproduce themselves, and eventually life as we know it today (hence, evolution).

Me? I believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

I love it when pompous scientists make sweeping generalizations and descriptions of how things simply had to be--and in the recent century and a half, it simply had to be without God.

To the pre-DNA days of evolution, there was a seemingly sensible progression, a tree of relatedness, showing an order or heirarchy of increasingly complex living things. But even the simplest of living things contain this biochemical blueprint called DNA--a chemical program that is amazingly complex. The flawed but highly touted primordial soup experiment supposedly showing how a spark of lightening could have began the chain of development of amino acids as the "building blocks" of life still leaves an enormous distance between simple natural generation of the building blocks and chemically arraying them in the functioning chain inside every cell of every organism that we call alive.

Fred Hoyle, the cosmologist that gave us the fusion progression by which we understand how stars are fueled and the elements formed inside them that supposedly then are the stuff of the universe we know*, wanted a science without a place for God--life on earth and untold places elsewhere were from broadcast seeding, called panspermia, by some alien super-intelligence of long ago. Earth was just a place where it took root and thrived. He also coined the expression "Big Bang" because the primary proponent of that theory of a singular starting point for all that is in the universe was a Catholic priest and it sounded too biblical for him.

Sorry, you ask a really hard thing. You really aren't going to have the matter definitively spelled out in Yahoo Answers. When the days of your mortality come to a close, you can ask God himself. Then too, if the naturalists are right and there is no God, then in the end you will have no answer and it won't matter. If they are wrong and the Bible right, it will be a terrible time to discover that a lack of faith in Him is going to result with you being consigned to the trash burning pile. Some things are just too much for us right now. Don't hang up on your curiousity though.

*Interesting thing, the universe we know, as some have determined, also includes an enormous mass of something we don't know--we call it dark matter. So we are made up of stuff that most of the mass of the universe isn't.

Answer 3

God made us, not we ourselves. The cells and all of that came from God. God made the apes too. I hope this helps.

Answer 4

We came from star dust...
