What is the biggest mystery: God as the originator of life or life itself?

Answer 1

Well, since there is no god, life itself would be the mystery--except that the mystery was solved a long time ago by scientists who study facts and figures and live in the reality of their discoveries, not blind faith.

Answer 2

The origin of life is no mystery. We had that figured out a long time ago. I think we even know in broad terms how our particular universe came to be. But there was something before that as well, and we don't know how that came to be or if it always was. As we make these discoveries the "God of the Gaps" keeps getting pushed further and further back in the process.

Answer 3

God is no longer a mystery, he was revealed by Jesus, the full and final revelation of God to mankind.

Life is still a mystery to all. Why? Becasue no one have yet proven life beyond except those promised by Chrst Jesus, and still a big mystery to all human.

The DNA molecule does amazing things. DNA fulfills both the roles that your cells require of genetic material. First, the DNA is accurately duplicated so that information can be passed on from cell to cell. Second, the DNA sequence tells the cell what proteins to make, thereby determining what the cell will become and what function it will serve. However, DNA does not carry out these processes on its own. Many specialized proteins are involved.

DNA alone cannot create life. It contains all the instructions needed to make all the proteins a living cell needs, including the very ones that copy DNA for the next cell generation and the ones that help DNA to make new proteins. Still, the incredible amount of information stored in the DNA genes is useless without RNA and the specialized proteins, which include ribosomes, needed to "read" and use that information.

Neither can proteins alone produce life. An isolated protein cannot generate the gene that has the code for making more of that same type of protein.

So, what has unraveling the mystery of life shown? Modern genetics and molecular biology have provided ample evidence of the highly complex and interdependent relationships between DNA, RNA, and protein. These findings imply that life depends on having all these elements simultaneously. Thus, life could never have come about spontaneously by chance.

The only reasonable explanation is that a supremely intelligent Creator coded the instructions in DNA and simultaneously made the fully formed proteins. The interaction between them was so well devised that once begun, this process would ensure that proteins would continue to copy DNA to make more genes, while other proteins would decode genes to make more proteins.

Clearly, the marvelous cycle of life was set in motion by the Master Designer, Jehovah God.

Although it is not a scientific book, the Bible sheds some light on the role of the Creator, who designed the code of life. Some three thousand years ago, King David of Israel, who knew nothing of today's advances in genetic research, said in poetic language to his Creator: "It was you who created my inmost self, and put me together in my mother's womb; for all these mysteries I thank you: for the wonder of myself, for the wonder of your works. You know me through and through, from having watched my bones take shape when I was being formed in secret, knitted together in the limbo of the womb."—Psalm 139:13-15, Jerusalem Bible.

So take another good, long look at yourself in the mirror. Note the color of your eyes, the texture of your hair, the shade of your complexion, and the basic shape of your body. Think of how these characteristics were inherited from generations past and how they are transferred to your offspring. Now, give some thought to the One who put in order this marvelous mechanism. You may be moved to repeat the words written by the apostle John: "You are worthy, Jehovah, even our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created."—Revelation 4:11.

Answer 4

Life itself

Answer 5

The biggest mystery is why grown-ups insist on believing that there's an invisible father figure up in the sky somewhere. For the life of me, I will never understand such primitive and childish beliefs.

Answer 6

Life is not a miracle and it would be more miraculous if life had not appeared on earth. All you need are the right ingredients (which happen to be among the most common in the universe) and the proper water-rich environment (which was present on earth), then natural biochemical reactions and evolution take care of the rest.

Answer 7

C. None of the above.
The biggest mystery is how boogers clean out a person's nose.

Answer 8

"God as the originator of life" isn't a "mystery" at all. It's a meaningless statement. To say "God did it" is simply to say "I don't know how it happened." "God" is just a rhetorical cypher. Anyway, if God created the universe, then, obviously, who created God?

Answer 9

I wonder if you could find some answers by searching Yahoo Question and Answers? It's not hard to believe there is an energy that put this all together. It's hard not to since our thoughts are energy and matter is energy slowed down. Look under Quantum Physics.

Answer 10

Or perhaps "Is it necessary for a creator to exist to have life?"
