A number of simple chemical substances first came together and formed a protein - which is no more possible than a randomly scattered collection of letters coming together to form a poem. Then, other coincidences led to the emergence of other proteins. These then also combined by chance in an organized manner. Not just proteins, but DNA, RNA, enzymes, hormones and cell organelles, all of which are very complex structures within the cell, coincidentally happened to emerge and come together. As a result of these billions of coincidences, the first cell came into being. The miraculous ability of blind chance did not stop there, as these cells then just happened to begin to multiply. According to the claim in question, another coincidence then organized these cells and produced the first living thing from them.
OR
God, an intelligent being all knowing, created the world and all life on it.

I agree completely. It's interesting that atheists only believe in facts, yet, there willing to accept a ridiculous, almost mathematically impossible coincidence. LOL!!

See when u say that chance (or rather blind chance)....then how u or anybody else can justify the equally blind faith on god, how can a ever intelligent being can exist out of nothing... a ever intelligent god wud be even more improbable than random fusion of chemicals.....god must have been complex but how a complex thing existed without any simple beginning......
i understand that the no. of simple chemicals becoming a complex thing is improbable but the trials were numerous ...yes , words arranged can become apoem if u randomly arrange them for millions of times....still if they dnt u dnt have to worry coz..in this analogy u have a purpose but with thee chemical what they made were protein and it was not that they had a purpose to make protein.
let me explain....
randomly scatter words and what u get...sum mumbo jumbo...right...thats the thing...this is the product...no need of any pre-conceived item...similarly what was formed by chemicals were the proteins(which were not pre-conceived)
Its not that monkey transformed to man....thesre are gradual changes
let monkey be 1
a monkey may differ a little (1+1=2)
wats the diff between 1 and 2 ,, not much ...u wont notice...another monkey may differ and thats 3....with time such subtle differences can be seen...which wont differ much from its predessor.....so lets stop at 100...at first its not much different frm 98 or99...but when u compare it with 1 ...then u say they are completely different
thats man(100)

Do you even know what you are typing about?
What you are describing is not evolution, you are describing the origins of life. The origins of life are still widely debated by scientists today - there is not single agreement yet on how exactly life emerged from abiotic sources. Many experiments (e.g. Miller, Fox) have been carried out and hypotheses have been proposed but no one single theory has been accepted yet on the origin of life, currently is on ice.
If you bothered to read up on evolution theory (scientific theory, i.e. not a hunch or guess), you would see that it all logically fits together. It begins from the first cell formed after life originated, and by gradual adaptation in response to a changing environment over millions of years a great variety of organisms emerged. Those with an advantageous characteristic are more likely to survive and reproduce, hence promoting the surival of the species. You would also realise that man did not come from monkeys - that is just ignorant thinking from the Victorian era, which your mind seems to be stuck in.
Creationism is such a fairy tale - an all knowing being would be all powerful, an all powerful being will be fully corrupted - what is the source of God's intelligence? What created God? If God is such a perfect being, why does he create such imperfect faulty organisms? Humans with birth canals smaller than a baby's head, blind spots in the eye, blood vessels that are cut easily, skin that is broken through easily, joints that suffer from arthritis. These are not the designs of God, but results of evolution.

You do not really understand evolution if you think that you go from nothing to a human by chance. Each tiny step occurs by chance -- if it is advantageous it survives, if it is not advantageous it fails to survive. The accumulation of thousands or millions of tiny, probable steps leads to something improbable -- that is basic probability theory.
Organisms reproduce and their offspring are pretty much identical to the parents. Variations occur among the offspring and some are better suited to their environment than others. Some of the organisms survive to reproduce and others fail to reproduce. That is evolution...
Over tens of millions of years there are billions of generations. Huge changes occur and species branch and diverge.
That sounds a lot more plausible to me than an invisible and undetectable god creating the whole world with all its millions of species...and we get this story from a book written over 2000 years ago by people with no scientific knowledge.

Interesting... I just read the community guidelines (linked on this page), and I *think* that you've violated at least a couple of the "Don't" rules.
DON'Ts
1. Use Yahoo! Answers as a soapbox to vent your frustrations, rant, or otherwise violate the question and answer format. If you prefer to have discussions or chat with others, please use one of Yahoo!'s other community services, such as Yahoo! Groups or Yahoo! Messenger Chat Rooms.
20. Post the same question excessively.
You're clearly on your soapbox... That's painfully obvious.
A quick check of your history indicates that you're posting the same question over and over again for no apparent reason other than again... your soapbox.
Maybe if each of us reports you as an abuser... Hmm... Where's that button again??? Oh! There it is.

What's more likely:
a) A protobiont self-assembling from the biologically interesting monomers present in primordial soup, or
b) A super-intelligent, all-powerful, all-knowing supernatural being self-assembling from Chaos and Void?
G-d is the ultimate 747-from-junkyard.
Please take a biology class, and do not sleep through it like three Republicans did, who I'm not going to name here. Yes I will. The gits who slept through biology class are:
Rep. Tom Tancredo of Colorado, Sen. Sam Brownback of Kansas and former Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas.

It is quite obvious that you do not understand that those letters coming together are subjected to natural selection; which piles up the good, saving from generation to generation, until phrases, sentences, paragraphs and whole books are finally put together.
Your ignorance in this area is appalling!

Neither
I think that everything exists together... or I think the most logical explanation for everything is from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - nothing has a purpose... everything is random and coincidental.

just bu the way that you phrased the question i think you know the answer to that one.
there i no way that a man sitting up in the clouds made everyone.
that's just stupid.
science has proved that Christianity is wrong.
when you get sick do you go to the doctor or do you go to Church and get holy water sprinkled on you?

The answer lies with the sun and the moon. From our view they are exactly the same size. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Ninja Showdown... Didn't we already establish that you're (a) not a Ninja, (b) don't know anything about ninjas, (c) know less about evolution, and (d) have so little faith in your god that you feel the need to attack science and scientsts?
When will you get bored with this? We're certainly all bored with you...
