Evolution or creation? Which came first...the blood clotting factor or the blood?

Question

It seems to me that you would not need the blood clotting factor until you had the blood and if the blood came first would not the organism bleed to death before it had really begun? Just curious. Mmm

Answer 1

One of the other people mentioned that the animals evolved everything at the same time as they needed it...it's wonderful that the chaotic origins that evolution suggests can plan out what the animal needs. In my college biology class, the scientists claim that the mitochondria developed on it's own before it found a mutual relationship with other organisms. It is also suggested that the cells of the human eyeball evolved on their own before they found themselves to need to be part of an eye. The fact that evolution is considered a theory by scientists suggests that it has yet to be proven...such as where are those missing links? Why is it when you reach the age of 94, you die, and don't turn into something better? Why is it when the apes in the zoo give birth, the child doesn't look more human? Why does energy decay? Why do humans shrivel up before they die from old age? Evolution says things evolve into something better. Science says that things gradually become something worse. Reality of 'survival of the fittest' says that the mutated species (or evolved species) do not breed, they are shunned by the 'normal' members of their species. Mutated/evolved species therefore are not the fittest because they are unable to reproduce....
To be created means we have a purpose, to be evolved means we are a cosmic accident. I like to believe that God made me for a reason. Perhaps it was to write this answer and help someone to take a deeper look at what they believe.

Answer 2

Just about all "Which came first?" questions have the same simple answer:

Things develop together.

All these "Which came first?" questions ... which are just variations on the hackneyed "Chicken or egg?" question ... all have the same fallacy of linear thinking that one thing always has to come "first" ... that one thing must exist in complete form before the other thing can begin developing. Creationists love to ask LOTS of these "Which came first?" questions, and they all have the same, trivial answer: THINGS DEVELOP TOGETHER.

Small animals with few cells don't need blood. Slightly larger animals with more cells need a fluid to carry oxygen, nutrients, and waste products between outlying cells and parts of the body dedicated to breathing, eating, and excreting. So the blood ... and all its features ... is something that evolved as animals grew larger and more complex.

Clotting factors are just proteins, just like the proteins that allow the blood to carry oxygen, or nutrients, or waste products. All these proteins evolved as a side-effects, and at the same time, as the evolution of the blood itself. They all make blood better. Simple animals have simple blood with simple proteins, and simple clotting agents. Complex animals have complex blood with complex clotting agents.

It is a fallacy of linear thinking to imagine that non-clotting blood had to come first, and then be followed by the invention of clotting factors.

Mmm.

Answer 3

As a sign of a covenant with Abraham, Jehovah God said: “Every male of yours eight days old must be circumcised.” Later this requirement was repeated to the nation of Israel. (Genesis 17:12; Leviticus 12:2, 3) No explanation was given why the eighth day was specified, but now we understand. Medical research has discovered that the blood-clotting element vitamin K rises to an adequate level only by then. Another essential clotting element, prothrombin, seems to be higher on the eighth day than at any other time during a child’s life. Based on this evidence, Dr. S. I. McMillen concluded: “The perfect day to perform a circumcision is the eighth day.”12 Was this mere coincidence? Not at all. It was knowledge passed on by a God who knew.

Answer 4

you are able to examine Richard Dawkins' "the desirable show on earth," wherein he explains the technology at the back of the regulation of organic determination. till you have certainly examine Dawkins you are able to not comprehend how incorrect you're. Dawkins is an atheist, yet evolution can in good shape into Creationist concept as long as one accepts the story in Genesis as an allegory, that's strictly how the Jews meant it. If particularly of lawyering Genesis you settle for that God works in mysterious procedures and does not evaluate time a similar way we mortals do you will comprehend that Darwin did not disprove God; he purely disproved literalism. Darwin in basic terms examined the canvas and the comb strokes to let us know a splash approximately how the Artist worked. the conceitedness of small human beings attempting to restrict God with words is laughable.

Answer 5

Creation of course. But why think only of blood and blood clotting? Blood resides in a living thing eg animals and humans. They come created as a total package as fully functional living entities.

Answer 6

no, you are not just curious, you are trying to disprove evolution with yet another bullsh*t chicken and egg/irreducible complexity argument.

Go to a library and look up mammalian evolution and look into how the whole blood thing got started. Stop reading those crap creationist websites. This box is far too small to go into all that in any depth, and by the wording of your question you will not listen anyway.

Answer 7

just like the bombadier beetle, it is capable of launching out a mix of chemicals, staggered so it doesnt go rocketing off, at a temp of 212 degrees celcius (100 is boiling point of water). if it mixes them wrong, BOOM, no more beetle, nothing to evolve. and since you say blood or clotting mechanism, how about giraffes, they have an amazingly strong heart for when they walk/ run, but if it bends down to get a drink it suffers a massive stroke, but wait, they were created with a sponge in its head that absorbs blood until it stands back up, then it releases the blood ad the giraffe walks on, had it needed to evolve this, it wouldnt have helped the first giraffe to have a tiny bit of it, it would still have had a stroke and died.

Answer 8

One of the mammalian blood cloting factors evolved from a digestive enzyme as it happens. This is well documented in the literature.

Answer 9

Because blood clots there must be God?

Answer 10

what came first, the chicken or the egg?
