How did things began? And why does not evolution applies here?

Question

I asked similar question yesterday. How did things began? An atheists answered "things were just always there." An answer not concrete at all.

I just understandable to believe that nothing created life. Or just to answer that "things were always there."

We see that with the global warming many polar bears are dying. It is not something that has been around just fro the last decades. Why don't they evolve to adapt to the changing weather? Strange, is not it?

Why don't science teacher teach Macro and Micro evolution at college and schools? Why do they teach just one? Are they afraid of exposing the many weak and false point of evolution?

How could a fish come from water, where it used to lived, to land and adapt, even thought many fish need water and wont last a long time out of it? Yes I know, there are amphibians fishes, but by then evolutionist do not say there were amphibians by the time.

If earth was created in an accidental way, also did the hundred of other planets?

Answer 1

"I just understandable to believe that nothing created life."

Can you understand why we're not interested in having people like you redesign our education system?

Answer 2

firstly saying that god did it is even less concrete than saying everything always was there.
Global warming has been around but not in the same magnitude as it has been recently. The polar bears didn't have to adapt becasue their icebergs were not being melted as rapidly. Also evolution takes a very long time and the polar bears would have to change their entire body structure to be able to survive. This is why some animals become extinct. They can not adapt to their environment quickly enough. The theory about the fish coming out of the water is that it adapted a lung that functioned with its gills. This allowed it to leave the water if only for a little while. Eventually it developed full lungs and only returned to the water to lay eggs in the same fashion that amphimbians do today. Yes the hundred of other planets were created randomly.

Answer 3

Well, the universe is said to be like a rubber band snapping. Right now the band is open, but one day, it will snap shut and go the other way, and evolution will repeat itself.

Once the universe waws here, chemical compounds in the universe created rock and mineral. These atoms were floating around space.

But gravity fell in on itself, making the atoms bunch up, creating asteriods.

Asteroids clashed, got caught in the sun (the universe's chemical compound gone wrong) and its atmoshpere, trapped in orbit.

The orbit and rotation caused some larger astroids to become round and line up, rotating slower or faster, creating the planets, which got atmospheres of their own.=, pulling in smaller astroids, which became the planets moons.

Things went from there. Each planet had its own chemicals and bacteria. Earths had enough to begin creating the first creatures and plants. The other planets (yes, I'm including Pluto) didn't have these, so went on to forming volcanos and such.

Evolution took place on Earth, millions of species coming and going. There have been 4 mass extinctions since. We will be the 5th. Just because we were intelligent enough to find out the cause of the universe and we know about mass extinction doesn't mean we can do anything about it.

This will go on and on and on, for the Universe isn't even halfway through its 'rubber band' cycle. Then the rubber band will close, the universe will snap, and it will happen again. No one knows how it started. It just was.

And therein lies the great secret of the universe as we know it. This has been happening for years and years and years. Happened billions of times. It's true, we've fricked up Earth pretty bad, but it wont matter. It'll just keep happening, and we can't stop it.

I hope that answered your question, though I know it didn't. Nobodies questions will ever be answered when it comes to this.

By the way. There are more galaxies in the universe than there are grains of sand in on the Earth. There are more planets in those too. Why flatter ourselves by saying we are the most intelligent creatures in the universe? Untrue. There are probably billions of species like us out there. Who knows? Nobody ever will.

Answer 4

Sigh. You make no original points.


Life began a few billion years ago with some sort of self-replicating molecule. Something similar to RNA has been proposed as the beginning of life, but it's not completely certain. However, it *is* certain that something like that is very plausible, so to claim that a god is needed is, at this point, foolish.

The universe began with the Big Bang. No one disputes this. A few fractions of a second into the universe, a bunch of particles and antiparticles appeared. This sort of thing still happens, though not on that scale, so it's not hard to imagine. The thing then was that the particles outnumbered the antiparticles by a tiny fraction. Physicists have some idea why, but it's still a somewhat open question. Thanks to all this modern work, though, it is completely plausible, so the idea that a god was necessary is also silly here.


You don't seem to understand evolution at all, especially since you seem shocked that it hasn't happened to populations of polar bears in just a couple of generations, and you seem to think it's not taught in universities. (What? I've never heard that one before. I learned about evolution in college.)

You create a false distinction between these "micro" and "macro" terms, even though the only ones who use those terms are creationists who simply can no longer deny that evolution happens (so they just plug their ears and claim it must, somehow, stop at some point).


Biologists have a good idea of how the first land animals came about. I don't know offhand, but I could easily look it up. As could you, for that matter.

Answer 5

> How did things began? And why does not evolution applies here?
That's a question for cosmology, astronomy, physics. Here are your choices:
a) In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word WAS God.
b) Big Bang

> Why don't they evolve to adapt to the changing weather?
Individuals don't evolve. Populations evolve. Many individuals that aren't adapted to the new conditions simply die. Conditions are changing so rapidly, though, that extinction is a real possibility.

> Why don't science teacher teach Macro and Micro evolution at college and schools?
They do. My population biology professor, Norman Horowitz, taught microevolution, intermediate evolution, and macroevolution.

> How could a fish come from water
Google "mudskipper" or "lungfish" or "walking catfish."

Answer 6

If you ask "How did things begin?" you will get answers from more educated people on this forum.

No one (apart from creationists who don't understand much about science) has suggested that evolution involves complex organisms like polar bears making huge leaps, although even in such instances we can expect to see some changes if things continue. But it is mostly in simpler organisms with shorter lifespans that evolution's pace is fastest.

There are good scientific answers to some of your questions. Others are things scientists are still studying. All I'll point out is that science has proven to be very good at answering questions, but it doesn't answer them all immediately. We know much more today than we did a few hundred years ago, and much of that is due to scientific investigation. I'd also point out that saying "God did it" is not a less mysterious explanation than "It just is that way". It just pushes the mystery back one more step, and certainly we shouldn't do so until we've looked to see whether there are more mundane explanations first.

Answer 7

There are several theories as to how the universe started. The ones based on science have no evidence of God. Evolution takes time, and polar bears don't reproduce as fast as Global Warming changes their environment. In real colleges, the entire science of evolution is taught as science, not religion. And scientifically, there aren't "many weak and false" parts. The first animals that came out of the water breathed through their skin (much like some insects) so they could absorb oxygen in water or air. Yes, the orientation of the plants and solar systems (there are billions and billions) are a result of the Big Band and time.

Answer 8

It all started with amino acids. They are formed from 4 of the most abundant elements in the known universe: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. You need to understand how long life has been around. Contrary to what you may believe, the world wasn't created 7 days ago....

Evolution is carried out be a species when a mutation usually caused by carbon-13 creates a more successful species. The old species, depending on natural selection, will either die out due to lack of resources, or move to another area.

But its not that every mutation is successful. Look at the sabre toothed tiger. When a species adapts, it doesn't evolve. Humans have adapted to our environment, and lately we have also adapted our environment to us. But we still have mutations; remember the baby born with an extra arm not too long ago?

Evolution doesn't just happen. It takes time, and it has had plenty of it before us.

Answer 9

Posting a science question in the religion and spirituality section often means the asker does not really want an answer. His goal is to ask a question that he believes proves some scientific knowledge to be wrong, or that science does not yet answer, and make the implicit claim that the only other explanation is a god, and specifically, the same god he happens to believe in.

It's the "god of the gaps" - intellectually bankrupt, since it favors ignorance instead of knowledge, and because of the contained logical fallacy.

However, on the off chance that you really want to know the answer:

You need to explain which "things" you mean. Your question is not specific enough to answer.

You seem to think evolution is an extremely rapid process. It takes many, many generations. It's not like bears can magically double their swimming range, or sleep in water.

The distinction between micro and macro evolution is artificial. It's like asking why schools teach numbers, not big numbers and little numbers.

And stars and planets are formed by gravity.

Answer 10

Is English your second language?

LOL. Not a concrete answer at all, yet every Chrisitan alive claims this is why God doesnt need a creator - because he always just existed... Works for God, but not for the universe. Yup, thats fair...

Evolution has to do with life evoling on earth. So, life had to BE HERE FIRST before it could evolve. Thats why evolution says nothing about abiogenesis, comprende?

Evolution takes milllions of years. Seeing as the ice is melting, causing the polar bears to have no ice floes to stand on, they are drowning to death or starving to death. Its not like they are getting too warm and cant take the heat...

As for the rest of your questions - they do not deserve a response.... (why did the hundreds of other planets WHAT???)

Answer 11

Bioligists have watched bacteria evolve into drug resistant strains. The HIV virus evolves on an almost daily basis. Point - Less complex organisms evolve much quicker than more complex organisms. The influenza virus is different every year. There is a difference between physical adaptation and biological adaptation. The polar bears are adapting to the environment by staying closer to the land and not going out as far as they used to for food.
