I mean, how does nature go from salt water to goo to algae to fish to monkeys to man? Each step is so incrediably difficult. Don't you need the whole cell in single cell animals? They would be just a bunch of ribosomes or something. Even one cell is so complicated, did a bunch of proteins just fall together in the ocean? And then mulitply? I don't get it. Creationism doesn't make the process of life and the universe any smaller or less important, and actually gives goo and monkeys a purpose. Hope I explained myself okay.

colway: Check out the site from the Center for Science and Culture (CSC) regarding Charles Darwin's theory. You will find, that many Scientists REJECT it !!! They explain why and give a listing of the Scientists' names and the Institution he or she represents. Evolution is a dead theory and the proof can be found at this site: www.dissentfromdarwin.org
It's a real eye-opener for both, Atheists and Christians, alike (you may also, include Agnostics too). - Good Reading !!!

Life's complicated, and it takes time for things to grow and change, yet people always want the 'quick fix' answer.
Nature developed over billions of years, not overnight.
You can fiugure out Darwin's theories for yourself by planting a couple of seeds from the same pod in two different containers. Put one in a sunny, warm spot, and another in a shady place.
Care for them and watch how they grow, and you will notice that they grow differently ~ the one in the sun will probably grow tall and straight, while the other will become 'leggy', stretching out to find the light.
Over many years, or centuries, the way these two types of plants grow may become even more divergent. The one in the shade, for exampole, might develop a dislike for direct sunlight, whereas the other might wilt without it. They will adapt to their environment.
In such a simple example, you can see for yourself that plants have the potential to adapt to different environments, just as all living things do.
A theory posited on the need for life to adapt to its environment, and to do so in myriad ways is basic 'Darwinism'.
Cheers :-)

you already know that's humorous, the main religious creationists tend to be the main important social Darwinists. people who settle for organic and organic evolution by using organic selection are oftentimes avidly against social Darwinism. which could could do with training point and politics (capitalism DOES dip its feet interior the pool of social Darwinism). information human history and the place social Darwinism comes from is significant. It fairly would not come from Darwin... i think of he might have condemned it.

Ever heard of the Miller-Urey experiment? Or Oro's extention of their experiment? It explains our 'goo' theory nicely.
By the way, anaerobic bacteria and cyanobacteria came before algae. And it wasn't just salt water that formed the amino acids and whatnot. There were compounds and elements in the atmosphere that lightning dissociated and associated into different patterns. It makes sense.
Creationism skews reality.

Darwinism doesn't address the origin of life. Darwin believed that all species evolved from a common ancestor but he believed that the first ancestor was created. In that limited sense Darwin was a creationist.

Sigh.
It's called evolution, not "darwinism".
And the first step is abiogenesis - evolution is the rest.
Abiogenesis is very, very unlikely - but it only had to happen *ONCE* on an entire planet in hundreds of millions of years.
And it's not three steps - it's a series of *BILLIONS* of steps, each so small you wouldn't even notice it.
And these are all biology questions and have nothing to do with religion.
Here are a couple of good starting points:
http://evolution.berkeley.edu/
http://www.talkorigins.org/
But you will need to actually *learn* something new - and many people are quite content to say "I can't understand it, so it couldn't have happened".

The first is abiogenesis. Look it up.
Evolution takes billions of steps to get where it is today. And we didn't come from monkeys. They're our cousins - we evolved from a common ape-like ancestor.
PLEASE research evolution. You have no understanding of it.
^ naturalist, God is ALSO "nothing, now there is everything".

No, you don't need a complete cell in a single celled animal. RNA has been observed to self replicate outside a cell membrane.

As a 6 day Creationist, I find it easy to pick out the obvious flaw in Evolution. There once was nothing, now there is everything. Isn't that obvious?
Now try creationism.
There is a God, he made everything from merly speaking.
Now that I find is more believable.
