I am a Christian, just curous.... if you do not belive in GOD, then how did we all get here? who made us? IF you belive in Evolution, and we are from "Apes" then how did the World get here an all the planets, a "Big Bang?" Also I would like you to tell me what came First, the Flower, or the Seed

Your questions about the origin of life are the same that scientists and indeed all people have been struggling with for a long time. The difference between scientists and religion is that science says 'look, we are not really sure what and how life happened. But we've looked at the available evidence and it went something like this'. By contrast, religious people say 'our holy book, written 2000 years ago or somesuch, tells us the exact origin of life. Since it is holy and good it cannot be wrong'.
See how science remains open for new ideas but religion is forever closed?
Look, it is obvious you have been raised in a religious family. You have probably been surrounded by religion for all your life. So let's take this from another angle.
Let's examine some fun bible passages. Get your bible out. Ready?
# Deut 25:11-12
# Genesis 38:8-10
# Deut 21:18-21
# Deut 20:10-18
# Ex 35:2
# Lev 20:13
# Isaiah 13:13-16
# Exodus 21:20-21
some more fun slavery facts in the new testament: http://www.religioustolerance.org/sla_bibl2.htm
Do you believe that a perfect, loving, all-knowing God wrote them? Do you support any of these verses and believe they should be applied to our society today?
ps. could you please get 'Atheist' right? I don't call you 'Chistains' Also, the word is 'adamant'.

OK I would just like to say, I am not a christian, nor an athiest, but i do believe that the big bang created all living things. Firstly, this board is for asking questions, not ranting at athiests, and if you supposedly know EVERYTHING where did god come from? Do you know how you were created? Do you know for sure how the earth was created? No one does, so please do us all a favor and keep your ranting to yourself. AND for that last bit. I believe the seed was developed over time, and evolved into what we know as flowers today.

I think you answered you're own question with "the big bang" and evolution. Obviously those are the simple answers, you have to do a lot of research to get the true answer. As for how did the big bang happen, or where did all the matter come from. What if there was no beginning, and there are cycles of the universe collapsing and expanding (as it's doing now). This explains how everything is here, without a God.
As for the flower or the seed, who knows, I'd say the seed.

You frame your question in manner that makes it difficult for an evolutionist to answer. The question is not, "Who made us?" The question is "What made us?" The answer is DNA mutations and the differential success of those mutations by the process of natural selection. The Big Bang Theory is cosmological and outside the realm of evolution proper. According to the fossil record, seeds evolved before flowers. We still have some seed-producing, non-flowering plants called gymnosperms (i.e. evergreens).

Nothing came "first". We Buddhists do not believe in linear time because it's illogical. The seed is as empty of inherent existence as the flower. What is the seed? Is it it's molecules? Without the causes and conditions being ripe the seed will never become the flower... without the causes and conditions being ripe the "stuff" that makes what you label as a "seed" never become what you call a "seed". Without the right causes and effects coming together, you never become what you label as YOU. And as soon as what you label as a "self" comes into what you consider your "life", this "you" is constantly changing and impermanent (i.e. dying)... when you die you become part of the causes and conditions for something else... while you're alive, you're the causes and conditions for the survival of certain bacteria, viruses, cells, mitochondria... etc. NO LINEAR TIME... it's illogical. NO alpha, no omega... no beginning, no end to beginning, no end and no completion of impermanence... no fear.

No one, and no thing created us.
We evolved from other forms of life, a primate specifically.
The planets, stars, galaxies, and universe are a product of the big-bang, gravity, and billions of years.
What caused the big-bang, or what might exist "outside" of the bigbang is unknown.
The flower and its seeds evolved. The origin of what we call life is still not known.

actually spores came first.... but you obviously don't know much about evolution or physics...
and *no one* really knows how we all got here, you think your so smart cuz you read something in one book and you seem to think you know what it meant. how do YOU know that GOD didn't guide evolution? how do you know that god's 7 days were the same as ours (oh, and if you know anything about astronomy you know that the days weren't the same length as they are now anyway).
how do you KNOW that the stories of creation that are in the bible aren't the only way god could describe to the primitive humans what happened, since they didn't have science & knew very little about the laws of nature? or possibly the only way they could interpret what he 'told' them with their limited understanding of the world? so therefore, aren't absolute literal truths?
how do you KNOW?

It is not a matter of - not believing - it is a matter of lack of proof. What started the big bang. There may have been multiple processes of the big bang and the big squeeze so the universe may not be billions of years old, but years beyond the possibility of us poor humans can conceive. Who started it??? Who knows, but we are asking for proof that you refuse or fail to give us.

1. We don't know how we all got here. There are theories, none proven. You don't know how God got here but you still think he is real.
2. Whether or not humans came from apes has nothing to do with how the world got here. Those are two very different subjects.
3. I don't know which came first, the flower or the seed.

Science has real answers where the Bible does not. Neither has all the answers. God is one of many gods humans have invented. I believe they are all human creations. Since close scientific inspection of the world has show us that the Biblical origin of man is incorrect, and that there are none of "God's fingerprints" on the universe, it is safe to conclude that capital "G" god is imaginary. As for your question about flowers, there is an answer, but the answer is that you have an over-simplified question.
