Evolutionist how did plants evolve?

Question

What was the first plant?

what are some transitional species of plants.?

and trees for that matter

what was the first plant is a one line response

IF YOU CANT ANSWER THE QUESTION DONT. SIMPLE AS THAT. SOMEBODY WILL.

Bob When Atheist are making claims that are not scientific then I will never choose them as a best answer. For instance I asked a question about something cannot come from nothing. Science tells us energy cannot be created nor destroyed. So this guy goes on about how that something can come from nothing. Almost all the answer I receive are not legitmate answers. Another one is the world infinite. Somebody says their is an infinite amount of regressions. But that still doesn't make any sense. Because their could never be a first regression. So If nobody can answer my question, then I will give the best answer to the person that disagrees with it, for nobody gave enough evidence against it.

Answer 1

Jonathan,
You have read enough evolutionist answers to know this is a fundamentally ridiculous question. Based on your past responses you will wait until some Christian makes some statement about how "They can't, because Evolution is a lie." (like robert p's response) and pick them as the best answer. Review your questions for Atheists. Despite the fact that you title a question "Atheists: blah blah blah" you always pick a Christian response philosophizing on the why Atheists think they way they do, while ignoring what the actual atheists have to say. Why address anything to a particular crowd if you're going to ignore their particular responses anyway? Why not say "Christians, why do you think atheists think. . ." While there are admittedly some who are just responding nonsensically, you ignore the perfectly reasonable answers to even consider that it may be logical to them (which is what you ask for). Are you so weak in your own beliefs that you can't even say, "Despite the fact that I don't think your right, I can see how your explanation might make sense to you."
You don't do this, which means I can only assume you need some quick and dirty self-esteem boost and are not out to understand anything. Are you really proving anything to yourself? You realize that if you actually wanted to prove or disprove anything about evolution, you'd be asking in the Biology section. However, you choose to "challenge" them in R&S where you're likely guaranteed someone will provide you the answer you want to hear (robert p). You might as well post "questions" like "Isn't God awesome?!"

Answer 2

Jonathan... go to a library. These are not questions that can be answered without a bit of work on your part. Your question is much too broad and cannot be answered satisfactorily or efficiently on this forum. Sorry.

No-one could possibly tell you what the first plant was because only about one in a billion organisms leave fossil remains anyway, and the first plant was likely a single celled algae-like structure that developed more than 250 million years ago. It has virtually no chance of fossilization. Evolution uses more than such evidence though to confirm its premises.

You sound like you are making a clarion call for the God of the Gaps. You would do better to go to that library - learn your enemy's position - know more than he does - then you'll be in a position to argue. Have fun learning.

Semi-permeable membranes formed, it's a naturally-occuring process. Lots of chemical reactions happened inside the membranes. A few of these reactions led to other reactions which led to movement, respiration, duplication, etc. These cells, just chemical reactions enclosed in a semi-permeable membrane, started hooking up together. (Just like sex, it's fun and makes life better.)

Some of these cells became specialised. When their ability helped with survival or reproduction/duplication, they became more numerous and a greater percentage of the cells going about.

A very long while later, masses of cells called cyanobacteria figured out how to use the energy from light to convert carbon dioxide into a food they could use. Photosynthesis was an amazing evolutionary advantage, hence the new plants were quite successful.

It's really quite simple.

Oh, and evolution isn't a religion. So leave off with the 'evolutionist' please.

Answer 4

The same way as any other organism. Certain plants just happened to have attributes that helped them to thrive in their environment and those plants went on to reproduce while others didn't.

Answer 5

What does this have to do with religion? Go to the biology section, or better yet, your local library. That is of course, unless your library is stocked with books that say man and dinosaur co-existed, in which case go to a proper library.

Answer 6

There is never a first anything of a species. You don't have proto-dog / proto-dog / proto-dog / suddenly BOOM, dog.

There is a slow transition. Even when evolution is working 'fast' you're still looking at multiple generations.

The simplest plants evolved from algae, which themselves evolved from single celled photosynthetic organisms which grew as a colony and evolved cellular connecting proteins.

Answer 7

umm plants are one of the easiest ways to prove evolution look how easy different species and hybirds can be developed

maybe you'd like to do a little research when you pull your foot out of your mouth

Answer 8

There's no such thing as 'evolutionists' - evolution is a fact.

For future reference, the botany section is under 'science' - it's got nothing to do with religion.

Answer 9

Good question. I wonder what the first plant was. Better ask this in the biology section.

Answer 10

They evolved the same way all living things evolved: According to their needs, the demands of the environment, and their ability to adapt. Those that didn't or couldn't adapt became extinct. *sigh* You guys are becoming tiresome, you know that?
