It takes DNA to make DNA, so how could evolution even get started?

Answer 1

evolution never happened. we were created by all powerful God. This is one of the many MANY problems with evolution. chance random process doesnt work. you'd never expect to walk in the woods and say whoa a watch, this must've take 3.7 billion years to evolve. you'd know that it had a creator. you dont go to a painting and say wow, totally random evolution. no it had a painter. same with cars. or anything. why would it be different with the earth. or us. also you cant have a working cell without all the working parts. all the parts have to be fully functioning and in place in order to work. a moustrap is an example. without a single part, the whole thing doesn work. it can be small, but it needs every part in place to work. take one of those bottles of sand art to be shaken until all the different colors of sand are mixedd evenly. would you ever expect to keep shaking it until all the colors went back into those specific layers? no, thats foolish. evolution just doesnt work. it makes sense on a large scale, but when you take a very close look, it doesnt. information can never be gained in mutations. only ever lost. mutations have never been observed to be helpful. only hurtful or no effect whatsoever. darwin said in his book that there should be milions of fossils being dug up that are "transitional" animals. in other words, animals between other types of animals, or "missing links" etc. well, there isnt plain as day. scientists try so hard to find them, but there are none. all the "evidence" they have winds up being nothing more than a jaw from a pig or something. too much to write. just read the Bible. specifically Genesis if you want to know more. you can email me if you havequestions or arguments.

Answer 2

It turns out that you can get amino acids (the building blocks of DNA) quite naturally. Check out Stanley L. Miller's experiments from the 1950s. They make a lot more sense than "A big invisible man did it", that's for sure. Of course, studies of abiogenesis have certainly grown since then.

(EDIT: Somebody below me posted the tiresome "watchmaker argument", which has been embarrassingly debunked for hundreds of years. Though if you'd like to read an amusing piece of fiction of how the watchmaker argument can be expanded to actually make a good understanding of how evolution actually works, go here: www.jhuger.com/watchmaker)

Answer 3

DNA is a complicated but logical chemical language.
It is the inevitable result of the required chemicals and the proper environment.
It is something that occurred here on earth and has probably happened millions or billions of time else where in the universe.
It is capable of specifying all the diverse life forms on earth,so the alien possibilities are any thing you could ever imagine.

Answer 4

DNA has 4 nitrogeneous bases:
Thymine
Guamine
Adenine
Cytosine

what causes cancer nowadays is a mutation in the DNA by replacing one amino acid by the other.
Sometimes a mutation might be beneficial causing new allele to appear or new organisms to exist

Hope this helps

Answer 5

RNA can be used as a template for DNA. It's possible our hypothetical protobiont had RNA as its information storage component.

Answer 6

after the first strand of DNA came into existaence it started replicating itself.

Answer 7

Through natural selection.

Answer 8

I think you're confusing evolution and biogenesis.

Answer 9

very good question
