How can a pool of mud or whatever create a life form that evolves into the complex biological makeup of the human body over thousands of years, because the make up of the body is to complex to just come out of chaos.

How did first life start on earth? According to the Big Bang model when earth was formed about 4.6 billion years ago it was a lifeless, very hostile place. But the fossil record teaches us, that somehow in a period of less than a billion years, more than 3.7 billion years ago, the first life forms came into existence. These were micro-organisms, the simplest life forms imaginable, one cell bacteria and organisms that resembled blue-green algae. Very “simple” life, but still living cells. These organisms were able, using information stored in their cells, to absorb and process energy from their environment to grow and replicate.

How this giant leap from no-life to first life (also called abiogenesis) happened is one of the most intriguing mysteries in science. Especially in our generation we have learned a lot about how living organisms actually work. We are able to study and analyze all the different components in a cell and observe their role and behavior. We can watch as genetic information is unraveled and is used to build new molecules, and we’re all baffled by its perfection and complexity. But all today’s life on earth came from previous life. As a child needs a mother to be born, likewise with all living organisms we know – they all come from parent organisms (this is referred to as biogenesis). Can this chicken and egg cycle be broken? How did the first living organism come into existence?
Charles Darwin himself never spent much time researching first life. He

He assumed simple life was so simple that it would just “start to exist”. In a letter of Darwin to Joseph Dalton Hooker of February 1, 1871, he made the suggestion that life may have begun in a "warm little pond, with all sorts of ammonia and phosphoric salts, lights, heat, electricity, etc. present, [so] that a protein compound was chemically formed ready to undergo still more complex changes."

He went on to explain that "at the present day such matter would be instantly devoured or absorbed, which would not have been the case before living creatures were formed." In other words, the presence of life itself prevents the spontaneous generation of simple organic compounds today – a circumstance which confines the search for first life to a controlled environment in a laboratory.
Of course evolutionists have diligently searched for answers. You might recall the narrative of the prebiotic or primordial soup as the construction site for life from your school days. The following typical “recipe for life” [1] is found in evolutionary textbooks:
“To find out if there is life in the Universe, it's useful to look at how it began here on earth. Follow our step-by-step recipe to see how life started:

1) Mix ingredients
For life to evolve, simple molecules have to combine to form more complex ones. This mixing would have happened in the seas of the early earth, often called the primordial soup.
2) Add energy
Next you need energy. This may have come from lightning storms or hot underwater springs. This injection of energy sparked chemical reactions. These simple molecules began joining to form larger, more complex ones, called “amino acids”. In a classic experiment in 1953, Stanley Miller and Harold Urey recreated the primordial soup in the laboratory. By passing electricity through a mixture of simple molecules, they were able to make amino acids.

Ok why isnt this world still evolving into something???????

Amino acids assembling to form protein then proteins perform actions. They cluster and form groups or bodies that perform bigger actions.

Both science and God are real. But if you need to tear down the complex to keep your faith going one more day I suggest you might have a bigger problem.

Is this a rhetorical question, or do you really want to know? The basic building blocks i.e the stuff we are made of is really very simple. Imagine a Lego set. You can stare in wonder at a model which is metres long, you can see the city, the lego people in it, and what each one is doing, but if you look closely you can see each individual block which makes up the complete set. Everyday, we only see the big picture, the complete person, our individual bricks are far too small to be seen with the naked eye. We are just a bunch of proteins, chemicals and gases that do very simple things, but when they all work together, you get a life form. That stuff in a pool of mud has exactly the same compounds as any life. Carbon, silicon, proteins, oxygen, the list goes on. Why is it so hard to imagine, that in the right conditions, that we are made of the same stuff? The mud may seem like chaos to you. But really, it isn't.

It's so sad how people tell you to learn something about biology and this will all make sense... I am a biology major and have fought with many of my teachers brining up these facts, and we have came to no resolution. The simple truth is that it can't be explained hence it is a theory, and not a law. Evolution has many missing links and with each thing found it also disproves something else. They also conducted a harvard experiment, with SPONCH, the elements which they believe started the world, and could not not matter what degree they changed get any form of life. Evolution is a theory, however people want to believe in it. I really find no fact in it, aside from a subsection of it being adaptation. Creationism, comming from God, just makes more sense to me.

The world is still evolving. Human mind is the drive to discover "the mystery." Life has a subtle Essence and this is what cannot be deciphered. The mind is the deceiver which is bound and determined to discover the Divine Mystery yet God is beyond ALL human conception. To Conceive of God is to "make" a God. Life is the gift of God to all the creation and the individual aspect of the life is total illusion. Holiness of whole "I" ness is the surrendering of individuality for the greater view. God "IS" All in All and that is a concept but the highest concept for the realization of God as Presence. You hold all that you are running from and towards!

life is still evolving,but it takes many millions of years to see visible evidence sometimes.our small brains cant comprehend the whys and hows to totaly explain it all,but that does not mean we should believe a story in the bible of how things happened ..at least evolution has visible evidence.who created God or the creator of God or how could something or someone just magically appear from nothingness.these are all unknowns and thats o.k.the answers come as slowly as evolution sometimes or not at all

Very astute of you to notice that Darwin's theory Is flawed. God made man In His Image & Likeness. He formed Adam out of the dust of the ground and then God Breathed Life Into him. I'm sure you drive a car..right ? IF you look In the glove box there will be an owner's manual. Because the creator/designer of the vehicle knows how It was made and how It works,and what It will take to fix a problem..Just like us. God give us His Word for Instruction.

I can't really explain any of it. I don't know where my beliefs stand right now, but I do feel in my heart that there is some higher power out there, a creator. After studying anatomy & physiology, I feel that life is too intricate and too complex to have "just happened" without some intervention.

I can't believe the amount of answers on here, believing in evolution. Is it just easier to tell yourself "we come from 'nothing' (or, gases and minerals coming together on their own)" rather than to believe in a God who expects obedience? I think so - it makes it so you don't have to be accountable to anyone for anything. That's why there's so much crime in the world, because people are trying to come up with ways to take the glory and credit away from God, and place it on something nonexistent. Maybe the people telling you to study ought to go study themselves - Science has proven the Bible right!

A pool of mud can evolve into a complex biological make up of a human because god willed it.....everything isn't so simple as the bible says.

Evolution is a fact....accept it..it doesn't disprove god at all

In the first place it wasn't chaos, it contained all the elements needed for life.
In the second place it wasn't over thousands of years, it was three and a half billion years.
And it religion that claims that the universe was created from chaos.
