Biologist
NEIL deGRASSE TYSON:" While we don't yet know how the spark of life occurred, we can try to figure out where it might have gotten a foothold."
"And because the planet was under such devastating assault from comets and meteors, the leap to life may not have taken place up here on Earth's surface. To take hold, life may have needed a safe haven, perhaps underground."
A team of scientists descends into one of the deepest mines on Earth to investigate whether microbial life can survive far below the Earth's surface
NEIL deGRASSE TYSON: In a makeshift lab near the mine, the team attempts to recreate the environment deep inside the rock. And they have found that these microbes are dining on a variety of strange gases.

Well I do believe in evolution among plants and animals which god clear states in genesis that they were created from one another
genesis 1:24-25
1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
"Let the earth bring forth the living creature"
Does the Bible teach evolution?
1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

No
But it is believed life could start from chemicals under the right conditions.
Those chemicals make up the PRIMORDIAL MUCK, which is a type of liquified dirt.

Ummm, no.
Not, unless, you believe that God created life underground, while the surface was being trashed by meteors. Not, unless, you believe that god did things in stages, such as evolution advances. Not unless you are somehow thinking that god created cave men underground, rather than in a garden. Not unless you believe your Bible to bee the juvenile explanation of origins that it appears to be.
This is a theory much easier for rational evolutionists to believe than fundamentalist Christians ... except maybe not. Fundamentalist Christians jump at the word "dirt". They don't like the word "microbes" though.
Remember your scripture and you'll make more sense. It says that man was made OF clay, not UNDER dirt.

That would actually counter-prove the theory that life started on accident because scientists require the presence of lightning for their experiments that /might/ have worked. They believe that with an atmosphere that there is no proof to have existed at that time, with the presence of water, different chemicals, and lightning, the first building blocks to a living organism were created. Lightning can't strike underground.

Hmmm...I thought the bible said that God just "zapped" Adam into being and then took his rib and made Eve in one of the creation stories.

As a Christian (which I am) why would you wait for science to prove what you should already believe and know in your heart is true? You never wait for the Bible to prove science is true, why wait for science to prove God is not a liar?

No, it is not.
rukidding - No zap. Adam was formed from the rich, red soil of the earth.

no myth and fable lose their resemblance very quickly in comparison to factual science .
