PLEASE answer honestly: Does evolution speculate on the origin of existence?

Question

Does evolution venture to guess how the universe "came to be"?

Does evolution suggest a process by which the planet Earth "came to be"?

Answer 1

Technically, evolution starts at the inception of life on Earth.

Defining "life on Earth" is tricky. It does have an overlap area with the question of the origin of life. At some point, the primordial soup (if abiogenesis is the source of life) contained molecules that were self-relicating to some degree, but may not have been associated with cells. These molecules had two features that create some overlap with evolution: the molecules were competing for resources in the soup, so the best replicating molecules (the fittest) continued their lines, and they are the origin of our genes.

Evolution has nothing to do with the creation of the universe, galaxies, stars and planets. This means nothing to "Scientific" Creationists who, for the sole purpose of deception, lump evolution, abiogenesis, and cosmology into one. They use this conflation to muddle issues and create an appearance of confusion where there is none. Evolution is a sound theory distinct from hypotheses of the origin of life and the origin of the universe.

Answer 2

Evolution is just a description of how species change and bifurcate over time. These things can only go so far back as the origin of life, the first cells, and no further.

Many people who believe that evolution is the cause of the diversity of species on the planet tend to be atheists or science-oriented.

Evolution CAN be a relatively religious thing. Myself, I can think of no creation so great as the original cells, a type of life that is only potential. Those cells leading all the way to aardvarks and fish and people. That is the ultimate adaptable creation. It would be a pretty amazing thing for God to create, right? So maybe that is how it was.

Or maybe God creates the creatures and watches over them as they evolve. Their change is visible, after all, so it could indeed be God that is controlling it. If you can't see him, he can still be there, right?

The argument between god and evolution really starts with the idea that humans evolving from apes is contradictory to the idea that humans are created in the image of God himself.

Frankly, asking the question: what if God was the one that caused the change in DNA that created humans? makes that debate defunct. However, people seem to believe that the opposite of evolution is God.

More strangely, the opposite viewpoint of evolution is commonly thought to be creationism, which really just the view that God created everything. This is another shallow comparison, if God created everything, he created evolution and the evolutionists.

You could say that the evolutionists were contrary to, say, someone who believes the world was created 8000 years ago and that god created but did not change the animals at all.

The answer to your question is in my first sentences. The rest here is just information

Answer 3

A pregnant rat was kept in a room with 8 holes at the corners, out of which only one was accessible and remaining 7 were electrified. SO whenever the mother rat tried to move out through the holes she got minor shock and refrained from going our through those holes and gradually availed the free hole. After she gave birth to 5 seedlings it was found that the seedlings are availing only the free hole directly. This evolution shows that the gene factor works from generation to generation passing on the message to seedlings. It is not related to your questions: 'Does evolution venture to guess how the universe "came to be"? or Does evolution suggest a process by which the planet Earth "came to be"?

Answer 4

No. Evolution only sugguests that todays organisms came from other organisms, bacteria n' whatnot. Evolution can agree with intelligent design, if you sugguest that the PLANET was designed intelligently, but organisms weren't. Say a bunch of aliens created the planet as a giant supercomputer to find the question to life the universe and everything.

The Big Bang speculates about the origin of the universe, but that doesn't answer the question of "where the big bang came from." Essentially at some point you have to point your finger and say "that's the first cause" (aka God, even if it's just the Big Bang)

Answer 5

I am an agno-myst and I suppose, evolution certainly not makes an attempt to give an explanation for the origen of existence or life, it simply indicates the way in which of progress or progress of existence, so this can be a false impression of atheists as good as of theists, if each thinks evolution is involving origen of existence and life.

Answer 6

ZERO, to my mind evolution describes a mechanical process by which something gets from point A to point B. This is one sense of "came to be".

The real question is about point A. One of the Popes (I can't remember which one) supposedly said to a famous scientist: "Tell you what, you guys can have everything after the big bang, and we'll take everything before."

Answer 7

Not in the slightest. That is Abiogenisis...chemestry.

Universal origins are covered by Astronomy and stellar physics, while the formation of the Earth is part Astronomy part geology.

Bottom line: Creationists take a whole bunch of scinces they don't like and lump them under the word "Evolution".

Answer 8

No, evolution only deals with how living things evolved from a common ancestor. Specifically, evolution is a change in allel frequency. How the first cells formed is called abiogenesis. How the universe began has nothing to do with biology.

Answer 9

current scientific theory teds to be leaning towards us being in a matrix. To explain this you must understand that as we unravel the human chromosome etc we ourselves will be able to create human life in many thousands of years. We can create very simple amoeba already. Of course religious people are very scared of this so like in the dark ages and witch hunts they have perpetrated in the past they protest just a little too much when we unravel the mystery of life.

Answer 10

The scientific theory of evolution explain facts about how one species changed to become another. It is quite difference from the "big bang" theory.
