According to evolution?

Question

is the big bang theory the reason that we came into existence, or was that finally canned because it did not make sense?
i dont get how things that are not alive can all of a sudden come alive? what about the law of biogenesis?

well i believe in creation, but i was just wondering for all of the evolution believing people why they think this when it makes no sense?

how does the big bang theory have nothing to do w/ evolution if thats how supposedly the universe was started and evolution could happen?

thank u bob d, because although i do not believe in evolution and the big bang theory and such, u actually answered my question w/out giving me grief that is all i wanted

Answer 1

OK, you have asked some very good thought provoking questions. Lets see if we can reason through them and arrive at some satisfactory answers. Its complex, but keep in mind that the big-bang was the beginning of all natural forces in nature and the universe. Physics is the science that defines and describes these natural forces which govern all aspects of matter, space, and time. Physics is the very foundation by which all other scientific disciplines rest. As such, in one sense, it was the big-bang that led directly to all that we currently know and sense in the universe, incluiding life itself. Now, how do we know that the big-bang actually occurred? There is a thing called Einstien's General Relativity, GR, and a thing called Quantum Mechanics, QM, which are field equations that describe mathematically the four forces of the universe. These are the weak and strong subatomic forces, gravity, and electromagnesium. All physical matter including the molecules of life are governed by these four natural forces, thus, tying the big-bang to all aspects of the evolution of the universe and life. How do we know that GR and QM are correct? Because the solutions to these two field equations describe physical phenomena like black-holes for example, which can be verified by observation and expermentation. It is the accuracy of these field equation solutions that allow for the reliability of their use in describing the origin and evolution of our universe and life.

OK, now that we have some idea of how the big-bang put the natural forces in our known universe into motion, lets see how life my have gotten its start, and the diversity of life evolved: there is a thing in quantum physics called the "uncertainty principle." It says basically that you can't know both position of an object and its velocity at the same time. At the speed of light and at subatomic realism, this is a significant factor. For reasons too complex to try and explain here, it is this uncertainty principle that allows for things like the evolution of matter and life. In short, it is the mathematics of GR and QM that demonstrates the large and small of how the universe and life itself came about. It is not, in my opinion, possible to understand the origin of the universe or that of life, including its evolution, without fully understanding how quantum subatomic forces and laws played a guiding role in initiating these processes.

While this explanation falls way short of a complete description of the origins of the universe and life, it will give you a different perspective on these complex concepts.

Answer 2

I don't have the scientific background to even attempt the explanation at how scientists believe life did form, but the big bang is a theory of cosmogenesis, nothing to do with life at all. The big bang has nothing to do with evolution, nor really does evolution ever address the initial formation of life. That's not to say that there isn't an answer, but the theory of evolution has more to do with the diversification of life forms once they began to exist. Your question is kinda dealing with three separate events, really, 1) the big bang, and the formation of the universe, 2) the first life appearing, and 3) diversification of that life and it's evolution into the present life forms.

Hope someone can fill in all the gaping holes I've left :)

Answer 3

The Big Bang theory is not a reason to our existence. Is a theory to explain many WHY:
Why the galaxies are moving far away?
Why the night sky is dark?
Why there are microwaves with 3 Kelvin degrees coming from everywhere?
Why the universe don't collapse?

Of course, without a Universe, there was not evolution, nor existence, nor life.

And the things that become alive did that gradually.

Answer 4

> "how does the big bang theory have nothing to do w/ evolution if thats how supposedly the universe was started and evolution could happen?"

Oh c'mon!! By that logic, the Big Bang is the explanation for *childbirth* as well! (You guys just failed in that logic 101 class, didn't you.)

The answer is that the Big Bang theory could be absolutely false, and this would not affect the theory of evolution one bit, it could still be absolutely true.

Or vice versa ... evolution could be absolutely false and it would not affect the truth of the Big Bang theory, it could still be absolutely true.

In other words, the Big Bang and Evolution are COMPLETLY INDEPENDENT THEORIES ... neither one depends on the truth of the other.

Why is that so hard to understand? Why do you guys continue to conflate these two unrelated issues ... if you can't even tell the difference between Astronomy and Biology, then how on earth do you claim to know *anything at all* about science?

Answer 5

I really don't know if the big bang theory was finally canned but the reason it is called a big bang theory is because, nobody can yet prove that it is wrong or not, like the theory of relativity by einstein, if its already proven then it would be a law or a fact.
l;aw of biogenesis? no idea need to research on that.

Answer 6

No one really knows for sure how there are suddenly things came upon with life. There are many theories on this issue, but none is or can be confirmed true.

Same with the Big Bang theory (which has nothing to do with evolution): no one knows for sure (hence the theory part).

It is hard to fully understand any of these theories (life or the big bang), since there are (currently) no ways to prove them or there are always questions before whatever happened.

Answer 7

The big bang theory and the theory of evolution actually have no relation to each other...they are completely separate..one is the creation of the universe and the other is life on earth and how its changes over time due to natural selection.

The theory of biogenesis is different again!!
Thoughts are
1: alien life arrived in the form of a meteroite or something and this triggered off simple life

2. The primordial soup one is where chemicals, in this case thought to be RNA (which is made up of things like nitrogen, hydrogen etc)...the simplist form of life, was formed....as RNA can replicate itself, it was able to sustain itself and continue to "grow"...over time DNA (a more complex molecule, but similar to RNA) was formed and then a cell and the simplist organelles were formed......bacteria were the only life on earth for a BILLION years before multicelluar creatures started to form...eg groups of bacteria that then gradually changed....
I beleive lightning also helped with this one as it generates energy and actually adds nitrogen or something.

I know there is another theory too but I can;t remember it!

Answer 8

The Big Bang and evolution are entirely different concepts, and you seem to know very little about either one. Just because they might not make sense to you, does not mean that they are not true. It doesn not make sense to me that George Bush is president right now, but it is true that he is. You don't get to decide what the truth is simply based on what you believe, especially when it comes to science.

As to "abiogenesis" - the coming of life from non-life, that is not the same concept as evolution, which is the change in a species over time - NOT the same thing. Learn what these terms REALLY mean or you come across as not knowing what you are talking about, and justifiably so.

BTW: this is the "science" section - not the "religion" section - I suggest you post there instead.

Answer 9

once you're finding at evolution and nature then you certainly can't precisely deem rape to be a detrimental ingredient... i recognize we seem at it as a foul ingredient yet in nature issues get raped for all time, maximum of them do no longer hardship approximately it... canines are a physically powerful occasion of that... they do no longer see it as 'rape' and in the event that they do they bite the different canines face off... Survival of the fittest and all that... Stealing is yet another ingredient which you will no longer deem undesirable while finding at nature... Stealing and rape being considered as 'undesirable' are the two ethical judgements, some animals take issues off others and in the event that they're stable sufficient they keep what they take... Being lazy is a detrimental ingredient, seem on the Sloth... that's a creature that's going nowhere... If creatures or human beings purely take a seat around they get no longer something finished, get fat and die... that's a reality the international over.

Answer 10

I imagine that a long time ago in a galaxy far far away there were just elements lying around. Floating in space. and one day two elements came together by chance, and there was a reaction.

It makes more sense than the God story....and if you look at a living organism (like a human body) from a biologists point of view, you can see that everything is just a reaction, elements pulling on one another and pushing each other apart to somehow form life.

Look at cells, and the cellular wall...you'll understand what I mean.
