Evolutionists? Where did our 'common ancestor' come from?

Question

You have traced man and apes to a common ancestor. How did the common ancestor evolve?

So far, the most intelligent answer is 'amino acids"(yes, I know what they are). So, what did amino acids evolve from? I gotta know what you believe.

Answer 1

The insults are uncalled for. Someone cited a Time article. This type of writing is one of the reasons I can not accept evolution. It's unbelievable that scientists use words like speculate, beleive, and vision.
Dr. Frank Salisbury of Utah State University, U.S.A., calculated the odds of the spontaneous formation of a basic DNA molecule essential for the appearance of life. The calculations revealed the probability to be so tiny that it is considered mathematically impossible.
He assumed that this molecule had the opportunity to develop by natural chemical reactions on 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 (1020) “hospitable” planets over a period of four billion years. What are the chances that a single DNA molecule formed? By his estimate, one in 10 to the 415th power.

Just Google Dr Frank Salisbury

Answer 2

Which user-friendly ancestor? user-friendly to which species? i'm guessing which you the two misunderstand Evolution, or which you're touching on a) the easy ancestor of people, chimpanzees and bonobos, or b) the easy ancestor of all existence on the earth. If A, then from in the previous ancestors interior the primate lineage, which includes an undemanding ancestor with gorillas at c.10 million years in the past, an undemanding ancestor with orangutans at c.13 million years in the past, etc. If B, then you fairly could desire to consult the technology of Abiogenesis. link below.

Answer 3

Very, very, almost imperceptibly slowly, from a shrew-like creature which existed during the age of the dinosaurs.

Now, your next question will be "Where did the shrew-like creature come from?" and should that question be answered you will keep stepping back and back in prehistory until you reach a point at which there will be no answer forthcoming. At that point, you will shout, "A Ha! I knew you couldn't answer."

You will then congratulate yourself upon having single-handedly refuted evolution. So, let me congratulate you now, and we will both pretend that the enormous amount of evidence in support of the theory has been shown to be erroneous and the entire structure collapsed like a house of cards.

Then, fresh upon your triumph, you can take the time to read "A Short History of Almost Everything" by Bill Bryson. You may learn something.

Answer 4

Another common ancestor and so on all the way back to amino acids.

Answer 5

Apparently you don't know what amino acids are. Amino acids are not living and they're basically proteins.

I suggest you read the Origin of Species and do some research.

Interesting website.

Ah Lucy was it you?


If indeed we have an common ancestor and it is not ABSOLUTE in so far as we can prove it happened a LONG time ago I would image it would have just evolved.

The more interesting question to me is when did God start putting in HUMAN souls - when did the soul evolve Adam? Eve?

HUMMM.

Answer 7

How far back do you want? We came from a very small primate, I think. Here is the entire tree in all it's glory: (dig around a little... it's a bit overwhelming for religious types, so make sure you're sitting down)

here is some of what we know about the origin:

Answer 8

"How did the common ancestor evolve?" they evolved by changing over time, evolution means a population of organisms that change over time, therefore the answer to your question is that they evolved as a population of organisms that changed over time, really can't make it any simpler than that

Answer 9

The common ancester came from a mere person.

Answer 10

Are you actually that dense. Why don't you come out of your cocoon of ignorance long enough to pick up a book and maybe find out for yourself. No I will not appease you.
