How does evolution explain the phenomena of life?

Question

There are evolutionists here for me to ask

Answer 1

it isn't supposed to, it explains the diversity of life, not the source.

Answer 2

Life is not a phenomena, it's a natural outcome of 14 billion years of evolution, since the big bang. Given enough time and the death of other species, life evolves into consciousness everywhere in the universe. The laws of physics are the same everywhere, so if we evolved here, so did other life.

Answer 3

first we would have to agree on the definition of life. are trees alive? why? are amoebas living creatures? bacteria? ants? cats? dogs? humans? what, if any, are the differences between these? are sperms living things because they can move and actively hunt down the egg? is the egg alive as well then? life, as I see it, is just a complicated series of chemical reactions. even our thoughts are controlled by chemicals produced and used in the brain. otherwise, drugs wouldn't be as much fun as some say they are. also, just because something seems impossible, doesn't mean it is. it simply means we haven't found the answer yet. we may know that X eventually leads us to Y, but it may take years to figure out just how it did that. Belief in god is the easy way out when it comes to explaining this stuff. but imagine the world if no one ever questioned god! we'd still live in the bronze age!

Answer 4

Phenomena:
1. a fact, occurrence, or circumstance observed or observable: to study the phenomena of nature.
2. something that is impressive or extraordinary.

Hm... why say life is phenomenal/extraordinary anyway?

In any case, Evolution only explains what happens after life originated. How species evolve and whatnot.

Answer 5

It doesn't 'explain' anything. It merely provides a means by which we can understand how we got from "primordeal soup" to "human being."

The phenomena of life is like a raging hurricane - it can't be stopped. If a planet in a solar system is the proper distance from the sun, and if the sun is the proper size, then the ingredients for life are present and nothing can stop it, short of the sun burning out.

Answer 6

Evolution doesn't attempt to address why there is life, only how it changes in time. Where it came from in the first place is a completely different topic.

Answer 7

It doesn't. That line of research is abiogenisis. It has most of the basics down but isn't there yet.

Will this close your argument when we have lab created life? It isn't that far away. And lack of knowledge is only evidence that we don't know. It is in no way evidence for a god.

Answer 8

With convoluted theory, half-baked rhetoric and unscientific rationale.

PandaMan is woefully unedified. Charlie Darwin's book was entitled "The ORIGIN of the species, . . .", though he never addressed the issue of how all species originated.

"Science" cannot and does not explain the origin of life. No method of testing can be calibrated, so no hypothesis or theory can be scrutinized using the scientific method.

Anyone who believes in evolution is nothing more than a believer in an unscientific religion that attempts to omit the fact of an intellegent designer.

Answer 9

Everyone came from one cell which evolved into more cells which evolved in to animals and upright humans and now we are humans with moveable thumbs and straight spines. Pretty soon people are going to evolve into not having any pinky fingers or toes.

Answer 10

The origin of life is discussed in theories of abiogenesis, not evolution.

Answer 11

Evolution doesn't make any claims yet for how it started, there are hypotheses, but no theories yet.
