What created life on Earth?

Question

Here's what I got from the biology section if you're interested.

Answer 1

God.

Answer 2

People usually demand a beginning, so in the beginning there was a sea of spirit and it filled all of space. The spirit was static, content, and aware of itself. It was a giant resting on the bosom of its thought and contemplating what it is.

Then the spirit moved into action. It withdrew into itself until all of space was empty. In the center, the restless mind of the spirit shone. This was the beginning of the individuality of the spirit. This was what the spirit discovered itself to be when it awakened. This spirit was God.

God desired self-expression and desired companionship; therefore, God projected the cosmos and souls. The cosmos was built with music, arithmetic, geometry, harmony, system, and balance. The building blocks were all of the same material - the life essence. It was the power of God that changed the length of its wave and the rate of its vibration which created the patterns for multitudes of forms. This action resulted in the law of diversity which supplied endless patterns. God played on this law of diversity as a pianist plays on a piano - producing melodies and arranging them in a symphony.

Each design carried within it the plan for its evolution. This plan corresponds to the sound of a note struck on a piano. The sounds of several notes unite to make a chord; chords in turn become phrases; phrases become melodies; melodies intermingle and move back and forth, across and between and around each other, to make a symphony. Then in the end, the music will stop and the physical universe will be no more; but between the beginning and the finish of the music there was glorious beauty and a glorious experience. The spiritual universe will continue.

Answer 3

I think God put life here on earth. Or else a comet plunged through and slammed into the ocean, cracking the comet in half (hot vs cold) then bacteria got into the ocean.
That, or God is the only way. If this planet was a hot ball of magma, not even bacteria could live,..nothing could live. So life came from above. from the heavens

Answer 4

Interesting that the person voted for as best answer is using outdated material for the origin of life!

The Miller Urey experiment is fatally flawed on 4 accounts:
1. The early Earth atmosphere is no longer believed to be consistent with what was used in the experiment.
2. Miller intentionally isolated chemical run off in his experiment because he knew that their byproducts would destroy the amino acids he was trying to produce.
3. Miller's experiment introduced intelligence in an unintelligent process.
4. All amino acids produced were right handed, and although most amino acids can exist in both left and right handed forms, life on Earth is made of left handed amino acids, almost exlusively.

The current model suggests that life arose in bubbles on the oceans. Somehow, the aminos which were formed were blown around on the ocean surface, and as bubbles popped, they were recombined with other acids, until eventually a strand of RNA was formed. The problems with this scenario are multitudinous, to say the least. Suffice it to say that the scenario had to be changed to this one because of the devastating effect oxygen and ultraviolet radiation have on RNA and other complex molecules.

Answer 5

The scientific theories presented in the biology section fail to explain the cataclysmic "jump" needed to go from simple amino acids to actual proteins, which have a sequential (or primary) structure as well as secondary and tertiary structures, all of which are required to have a functional protein, and all of which are dependent on DNA transcription and RNA translation in order to form correctly. The Miller-Urey experiment produced only the simplest amino acids, molecules with only a very simple exchange of the R-group on the methane molecule--much different than the more complex amino acids, which have never been shown to form spontaneously in laboratory conditions nor in nature outside of living systems. I think it's funny also that if scientists are indeed successful at creating "simple life" in a laboratory after millions of dollars of research and experimentation, they have actually unwittingly just demonstrated the intelligence actually necessary for it to occur, defeating the anti-intelligent-design argument.

Answer 6

Do you mean "life" or merely human life? If the former, the answer is that "life" emerged from the sea...or the "sea" which was around at the time...many millions of years ago, maybe billions, but we puling human creatures did not come along till recently, and we were not "created," dear one, we evolved...and, bless us one and all, we're still evolving. If you drop by two thousand years from now, you will find...if the species survives...a different kind of "human"--bigger brains, for one, no diseases, a sort of beige color, better sight, better hearing, and probably vegetarian. But it will be hot as the dickens.

Answer 7

The warm soup theory is I think very close, however no matter how you mix the soup Jesus had to give the breath of life to the organisms as only God can create life. however as you well know he used the laws of the universe or I should say made the laws of the universe which he used to create life in all its forms. But the answer still is comes down to God.

Answer 8

According to the Book of Genesis the Spirit of God brooded over the surface of the deep... much in the same way that a mother hen broods over her eggs in order to produce life. Whenever life is produced or created in the word of God it is done by the Spirit of God. When mary became pregnant with the Lord Jesus it was the Spirit of God who overshadowed her producing life within her womb...
Good question...

Answer 9

It was either the Pink Unicorn or the Flying Spaghetti Monster. That is the religious thought on that. Or you could go with the logical way of looking at things and realize that life on earth was created long ago in a place that was prime for life and all the correct things came together at one time in the right place.

Answer 10

I think God did. Even though that is an interesting theory, and science is in no way contrary to religion. Where did the molecules come from? Why do people automatically have a sense of wrong and right? Why do we try to find a higher purpose all through out history, if a desire for God isn't inside of us all?

God Bless,

Answer 11

I always wondered by Miller and Urey built a trap in their experiment - I don't see how a primordial soup would have a trap. Oh I know..... without the trap it would not have worked.
