Evolution on earth, how did it all happen?

Question

This is just another moment in which I have been given the ability to question the most simple concepts. (this is where your laugh may be inserted) So beside the question of “which came first, the chicken or the egg?” ha ha. I have honestly thought of another just as interesting question: If in our evolution we started with one male and one female(regardless of if it was in human form, monkey, dinosaur, etc) then the following is a run down of what would of happened(as sick as it may seem)

Male has sex with female to produce a child.
Now that child has to either have sex with parent OR wait for the parents to have another child of the opposing sex so that they can have sex together, gosh this all sound like a bunch of incest! But then how else may we have evolved?

Answer 1

The mistake in the logic is in the following phrase:

"If in our evolution we started with one male and one female ..."

That is a faulty assumption. At no point does a species begin with a single male and a single female.

It is always about a POPULATION of many individuals, many couples.

One way it works is like this:

A species can get separated into two or more sub-populations. E.g. a bad drought, or a flood, or a bad winter, causes migration by one population and they completely lose contact with others of the same species. This population is now temporarily *genetically isolated* from the rest of their species. The breeding, genetics, and subsequent evolution of the one group does not affect the other.

If this geographic isolation is for many generations (as in hundreds to thousands), then the two sub-species will acquire so many genetic differences, that they lose first the desire, and then the ability to interbreed with each other ... even if they come in contact again, they show little interest in mating, and even if they do, the resulting offspring (if any) are stillborn, sterile, or just generally too sickly to survive long enough to keep the hybrid going. At that point the two subspecies are officially two species. They are now free to continue to evolve completely separately, even if the separation disappears and they come to live in the same neighborhood. Once they have lost the ability to interbreed, they can never regain it and become one species again.

I suppose it is remotely *possible* that a single couple could get separated from the rest of the species, and through a few incestuous generations start to generate a new population. But this is *extremely* unlikely that it was just two individuals.

Answer 2

Yet how do you prove that things evolved? It's all just supposition. Likewise, how do you prove it was all created. More supposition. In either case you take what facts you can and try to make something that makes some kind of sense. Either way it takes a whole heap of faith to believe in one or the other. Evolution theories are full of holes. Huge gaps in the noted steps. Vast assumptions are made. Creation assumes God created it all. The bible says so. Who can prove what the bible says is true? No one can definitively. We're stuck people. You can't honestly say evolution is it and without faith in Gods existence you automatically rule out creation. I say this as neutrally as I can, neither inserting my own beliefs nor advocating any particular one.
Some might think that evolution came about as a way to explain away God. I think that was surely on the minds of many of its theorists.

Answer 3

I think you need to start a little earlier. The first organism would have been asexual, and it all evolved from there, including the sexes. By the time we got around to evolving entire species, there were plenty of populations around evolving in the same way. Kinda like a bunch of pilgrims leaving the mother country and ending up somewhere else.

Answer 4

Populations evolve, not just a few individuals. Populations are made up of variants. Every organism is slightly different from the next. Think of a normal curve of distribution. Species are variants that interbreed, so, a whole lot of incest is avoided this way, for one.

Answer 5

convinced we are no longer coming from apes. Evolutionists also declare that apes and people advanced one after the different. (Then, how and from which organism did we evolve???). once you seem at genetic code in all organisms, all of them have that code, and the stability of their cells (imagine about a million million chemical substances in a cellular operating with none worry) and with their surroundings, and also even regardless of the actuality that they do no longer recognize what they're, the position they arrive, they stay in many cases with peace. --------- the conception of evolution is a concept that fails on the first actual step. the reason being that evolutionists are unable to describe even the formation of a unmarried protein. Neither the regulations of probability nor the regulations of physics and chemistry grant any threat for the fortuitous formation of life. Does it sound logical or lifelike even as no longer even a unmarried threat-formed protein can exist, that tens of millions of such proteins mixed in an order to grant the cellular of a living component; and that billions of cells managed to kind and then got here jointly by threat to grant living issues; and that from them generated fish; and that those that handed to land grew to grow to be into reptiles, birds, and that that is how each and every of the tens of millions of diverse species on earth were formed? even if it does no longer look logical to you, evolutionists do believe this fantasy. although, it is only a conception-or quite a faux faith-because they do no longer have even a unmarried piece of knowledge to verify their tale. they have under no circumstances discovered a unmarried transitional kind which consists of a 0.5-fish/0.5-reptile or 0.5-reptile/0.5-chook. Nor have they been waiting to tutor that a protein, or perchance a unmarried amino acid molecule composing a protein, would have formed less than what they call primordial earth situations; no longer even of their elaborately-geared up laboratories have they succeeded in doing that. actually, with their each and every attempt, evolutionists themselves have proven that no evolutionary procedure has ever befell nor ought to ever have befell at any time on earth.

Answer 6

Evolution wouldn't have started with a chimp/dinosaur/human/etc.; they're too complex. It is more likely that evolution started with unicellular organisms that reproduced assexually through binary fission, and eventually they'd evolve into multi-cellular organisms through natural selection. Then there would be a constant number of males and females, not one and one.

Answer 7

Evolution started with great great grand pappy blue-green algae. Then it evolved into microscopic orgainisms that have more than 1 cell. Eventually the sexes evolved and eventually dinosaurs. Now then we were little rodents, not even apes. Nature gave up on dinos, and those little critters evolved into monkeys and then into us. I havde heard that when nature gives up on us, bees are next.
