Evolutionists, Regarding the origin of life....?

Question

Since nobody has ever seen a living cell which did not come from another living cell, and since the theories of how it could have happened are not demonstrable in the lab, isn't it a bit premature to claim that it had to have happened according to your scenario? Some evolutions on this board seem to think that evolution theory is hard fact, not to be questioned. Dogmatic creationists take the same approach.

I wouldn't mind if you call it the most probable scenario but it's contrary to the scientific method to claim something is a fact before it's proven.

Answer 1

I am not an evolutionist, I am an atheist who believes in natural selection and the evolution of life. This has nothing to do with creation or the origin of life on this planet.

Answer 2

To the gypsie above: animals do get sick, there are even doctors specialized in animals, vets, you know. Also, nature´s way of repair is letting the weak die so only the strong remain, and we are just trying to use our way of solution before nature´s.
So do plants, single-celled organisms and most life forms (by parasites).
Oh, and rocks have nothing to do with evolution.
But you have a point: by "repairing" our weak, we are putting a stop to our evolution and begin becoming less fit to survive. Eventually we will all be confined into wheelchairs. But leeting the weak die aint an option. Genetic engineering may be.

Answer 3

"Most probable scenario" is synonymous with "scientific theory". And all scientists agree that biological evolution is technically a theory, just like the existence of atoms is technically a theory. But both these theories are so thoroughly supported by such vast accumulations of solid scientific evidence that they may be regarded as factual for all practical purposes.

Answer 4

people have shaped DNA and RNA evidently by way of simulated the organic and organic compounds of the early earth. They matched the comprehensive circumstances as scientists believed them to be by way of commentary and examine out. After 3 months, they stumbled on ten molecules that have been equivalent to DNA and RNA. Now think of that test in an area the dimensions of the earth over billions of years. you're guaranteed to come returned for the period of a useful replication equipment over the years. ?

Answer 5

In the beginning, we were all frogs. FROGS are all the existed. One day, the frogs all decided their lives were meaningless, (these frogs were signifigantly smarter than common day humans), so they all went to the burning acid pits. Upon throwing themselves into the acid pits, they did not die. They wanted to die, but they did not. They instead mutated into what we would now consider 'monkeys'. These monkeys were signifigantly dumber than before, flinging poop at each other.

These monkeys were common to live lives of 9 thousand years or more. Well after three generations of these 'monkeys', they devided. One group of monkeys led by LOTHANOX, the other led by ETHPION, (there were only capital letters at this time. ) the monkey leaders devided the monkey clans, and set war on each other. The top witch doctors of the ETHPION tribe, captured the LOTHANOX tribe. Every single LOTHANOXIAN was captured, and the witch doctors performed their black magic on them, turning them into ...HUMANS!...This is why we still have humans, and we still have Monkeys. EVERY Xian can understand this, it's all very clear. I just explained Evolution, and I dare you to prove the Biblical version is any more plausible

Answer 6

The theory of evolution is hard fact.

The theory of abiogenesis, which is what you're talking about, is still disputed scientifically. Nobody doubts that it happened, the question is about the mechanisms that allowed it to. Maybe scientists will discover that it was the Abrahamic God, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Also, no one has ever seen an electron. Do you believe in electricity?

Answer 7

do you know that evolution can be proven... it's just that creationist have a huge habit of saying it's not enough proof.... nature functions on the principles of evolution... every plant, stone, and animal and insect... religions have destroyed the humans link to nature so we live in doubt and dental.... look at every thing on the earth other than humans, it doesn't get ill, nature repairs, nature fills it's own needs because we removed ourselves from these healing cycles humans get ill and continue to become weaker in time...

Answer 8

Eloquently put, my friend. Something had to "start" the initial cell, now didn't it?

Maybe some beleive a living cell evolved from a grain of dirt. I've met some people who I question may have . . .

Answer 9

Right. How foolish of us. We should accept the incontrovertible proof that some unknown and unknowable metaphysical being who has never been seen and whose existence has never been proven just said "poof" and there we are.

Answer 10

Evolution doesn't claim to explain the origin of life. It explains how life came to be as it is.
