Question for atheists/evolutionists?

Question

exactly how did life origanaly start?

Answer 1

Mervin is the only one who came close . To bad he isn't aware of that chirality is required to build the proteins chains necessary to build life. In 1953, the evolutionary community became very
excited because they viewed the work of Stanley Miller and Harold Urey as scientific proof that life could have been formed from chemicals by random chance natural processes. In that classic experiment, Miller and Urey combined a mixture of
methane, ammonia, hydrogen, and water vapor and passed the mixture through an electric discharge to simulate lightning. At the end of the experiment, the products were found to contain a few amino acids. Since amino acids are the individual links of long chain polymers called proteins, and proteins are important in
our bodies, newspapers quickly reported there was laboratory evidence that now proved life came from chemicals. There is a major problem. Life was never formed in that experiment. The product was amino acids, which are normal everyday
chemicals that do not "live." Even unto this day, there is no known
process that has ever converted amino acids into a life form. Chirality totally destroys the claim that life came from chemicals.
Although two chemical molecules may appear to have the same elements and similar properties, they can still have different structures. When two molecules appear identical and their structures differ only by being mirror images of each other,
those molecules are said to have chirality. Your left and right hands illustrate chirality. When a random chemical reaction is used to prepare molecules having chirality, there is an equal opportunity to prepare the left-handed isomer as well as the
right-handed isomer. It is a scientifically verifiable fact that a
random chance process, which forms a chiral product, can only be a 50/50 mixture of the two optical isomers. There are no exceptions. The fact that chirality was missing in those amino acids is not just a problem to be debated, it points to a
catastrophic failure that "life" cannot come from chemicals by natural processes.

Darwin's Theory of Evolution - The Premise
Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the widely held notion that all life is related and has descended from a common ancestor: the birds and the bananas, the fishes and the flowers -- all related. Darwin's general theory presumes the development of life from non-life and stresses a purely naturalistic (undirected) "descent with modification". That is, complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time. In a nutshell, as random genetic mutations occur within an organism's genetic code, the beneficial mutations are preserved because they aid survival -- a process known as "natural selection." These beneficial mutations are passed on to the next generation. Over time, beneficial mutations accumulate and the result is an entirely different organism (not just a variation of the original, but an entirely different creature).

How does magic work? : | Duhhhhh......don't drool on this one. Self organizing carbon chains have been made in a lab with conditions similar to those present around the time life started using electricity. Then from there, evolution. Please stop wasting our time and go read a few reliable books on the subject of evolution. Thanks ahead of time.

P.S Jim...It can happen, you know what our biggest proof is? The Earth. It exists and so does life. Clearly life can arise from chemical reactions and it already has. It's not a point of speculation, only how it happened. If you can justify believing that magic accounts for this... well I don't even know how to describe the stupidity; it really gives me a headache. There is nothing that points to creationism as being a true or viable explanation for the existence of life. If you can find some proof let me know. If you can't please go away because I don't want anymore headaches. Your stupid hurts.

P.P.S And please get a life. Level 6? Jeeze man. Maybe if you spent time reading something other than the speculative garbage on Yahoo answers you might understand the world.

Answer 4

Well I am not an atheist, but I do accept the theory of evolution.

And where that is concerned, you do realize that evolution describes only organic life's speciation and adaptation mechanisms, and not life's actual origin?

There is no generally accepted theory on how life got its kick-start. There are some interesting hypotheses, all unproven at this time. The most interesting perhaps is the extra-terrestrial hypothesis. Recent findings in comets and asteroid materials that have been made available for study is that organic materials such as the amino acids were forged in the heat and radiation found in the early solar dust disk, and were delivered as an organic payload to Earth by these heavenly bodies.

Answer 5

All things begin with 1. 1 is the simplest metaphorical representation. Therefore it represents the smallest (everything is made up of smaller pieces) and the largest (together, everything exists as one component) possible starting point.

The initial source of energy lay nominally dormant, moving but imperceptively so. Due to the eventual confluence of the right energy particles (play the lottery long enough and you will win it, because the game is meant to be won), it expanded. As the initial source of energy expanded, it lost energy and thus broke apart into smaller and smaller pieces. It is not that these pieces were not part of the original whole, but they only became realized as the larger pieces broke down. Energy broke down into individual rays, which broke down into individual particles, and those particles, in breaking apart, came into contact with other particles to reconfigure into both other types of energy and matter, which attracted other matter, which formed solids, whose matter and density attracted other particles in certain ways, forming core solids, whose movement and density created gravity...

Answer 6

who is this guy with chrialty on the brain. There is no possible way that some fairy tale god snapped his fingers and created life. That experiment in the 50's never created life, because the process of evolution took millions of years. hmm, i suppose you think that the earth is still flat and only about 6000 years old too.

Answer 7

A very complex answer is required for your question. See your local college.

Peace.
