Is it true that we evolved from bacteria?

Answer 1

False, Science wants answer for evolution from baceria, algea or the apes. Anything that is beside God that suits their pride and arrogance. Some empty ones belive in them for real.!!!

Answer 2

Hi, I'm a biologist. (and not an atheist, by the way)

Not quite...yes...well, it depends on what *YOU* mean.
We're very limited in describing what kind of unicellular organisms constitute bacteria. We certainly evolved from unicellular organisms, we certainly evolved from unicellular organisms that are close to those scientifically classified as bacteria....

BUT....most of the bacteria the average non-biologist thinks of as bacteria aren't in our evolutionary past....

Eukaryotes (like us) are closer in relation to archaea, and archaea extremophiles are found without bacteria nearby, so there is a slim possibility that archaea actually evolved without a bacteria or bacterial-like stage...

But, for all intents and purposes the answer is yes (at the simplistic level)

It's more accurate to say archaea and bacteria came from a common ancestor, and we came from archaea, at least based on ribsomal RNA. Of course, that common ancestor may not have constituted chemical life.

I'm sorry, I don't know how to translate this out of biologistese any clearer.

Answer 3

Today's evolutionists used to think so, but no longer. They have moved on to other theories.

If the electron microscope had been invented before Darwin arrived on the scene, he would never have advanced his hypothesis on evolution of the species. The electron microscope shows the ordered, complex world of the single cell. If you can picture a train set complete with tracks, various cars for various purposes, loading and unloading stations, mechanisms for propelling the train, specific tracks to transport goods, timing mechanisms that prevent the trains from colliding, and factories to manufacture those goods, you have an idea of what’s in a single cell!

Before the introduction of the electron microscope, it was easy to think of life emerging from protoplasm, of a leg forming from a fin. Now that we know how complex those appendages are, we see the folly of continuing to believe that all things came about by chance. When you talk about evolution by chance causes, you are talking about old news. The evolutionist scientists have gone on to consider multiple parallel universes, mysticism and metaphysical ideas to explain the complex order around them. They are doing whatever they can to maintain their united front against a religious Creator – and coming up with wild theories!

Today’s science does not support the idea of random mutation between species—and so the evolutionists are moving on. They are happy to let the reigning falsehoods stay in the school textbooks because they steer the student into a “science proves naturalism” mindset—their goal all along.

Answer 4

i suppose you can believe that, if you want to...personally though, i find that idea rather difficult to swallow, considering the astonishing variety of life on earth, and how that life interacts with each other...not to mention the amazing compexity of the human body alone...i seriously doubt such a high order of life just accidently managed to come to what it is, no matter how much time evilutionists claim it had!
Romans 1:19-21 (King James Version)
19Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

Answer 5

It may be true that bacteria evolved to have bodies surrounding them so that they had a vessel in which to live.

Answer 6

The theory is that we evolved from single cell organisms...I don't know if that was bacteria or not

Answer 7

Yes ,over millions of years time .We already have proof that one celled plants and animals can divide into 2 separate individuals .

Answer 8

That is the idea that most biologists subscribe to. Species evolution is a proven fact so taken to its logical conclusion all complex organisms have evolved from simple organisms.

Answer 9

Are you going to believe your answers? Like maybe reading a science book?

Answer 10

You got it. If you go back in time billions of years...

but it's really a question for the science section.
