Okay there is the big bang and then evolution started on earth. Some scientist will say that other big bangs have occured in space and that there is a possibility that there are other universes. If that is the case then wouldn't evolution also occure in those universes. If a universe has started before us, then wouldn't its evolutionary beginning be far more advanced then ours.

If you don't know be quiet.

Evolution didn't just happen, it always was according to some. So if that is the case why does evolution only apply to earth? Evolution should apply throughout the univerise. If evolution applies throughout the universe then there has to be other universes with species far more advanced than ours. If not then you would have to deduct that evolution is weak in other parts of the universe.

Mojo why isn't this the SCIENCE AREA? I was told that atheist are knowledgeable on science and how the earth started. Hell I thought my best bet would be to post my question here with all you brilliant intelligent atheist.

Kent, what does the need for life and evolution have to do with anything? Evolution is an occurance. There always was evolution. Just because there isn't any life does not mean that evolution will not occur. Evolution is not exclusive to earth and where there is life. Not according to the people on the science and mathematics section. So I guess you are smarter than them.

"Evolution could not occur before there was life - and we have yet to find life anywhere else."

Evolution is not excluse to life. There is always evolution. It needs life it to be noticed. So occur to you life and evolution works side by side.

the big bang is thought to be the start of the universe; that's an incredibly, unimaginably huge place.

evolution is completely seperate; it deals with the changes in life over time.

The two are as related as the fall of the Roman Empire is to how you went about preparing breakfast this morning; one preceded the other, and in some ways was a necessary precusror for the later events to have played out as they did, but that's about it.

The universe is so huge that other chains of evolution could have gone on/be going on/will someday go on in any number of places throughout the universe before or after us; we have no way of knowing yet. This does not require seperate universes/big bangs.

ADDED: Your additional comments show that you do not have a particulary solid grasp of the universe or biology. For evolution to happen, you need life. Life requires a set of conditions that can support and sustain it. If life ocmes about in some theretical stress-free environment, then there is also no need for life to change and adapt. In short, you are making a set of uninformed assumptions that weaken your argument. If you truly want to understand, you have some real homework to do.

ADDED IN RESPONSE:
Did you read your own link? No one with any scientific perspective claimed that evolution happens seperately from life. Evolution (as the term is generally used in science) is something living things do; your TV does not, rocks do not. So, yes, life is a prerequisite for evolution. Evolution could not occur before there was life - and we have yet to find life anywhere else. I can only conclude that you have a cognitive deficiency, that you are unable to understand what you read. Maybe you should start re-reading things until you have a more coherent grasp.

While evolution is pretty certain to be true, there are considerable questions about the "big bang," such as the discrepancies about the red shift and the Hubble constant. Recently there have been quite creditable theorists who have returned to the old "steady state" concept.

My own impression is that "big bang" theories are just biblical creation myths and similar tales dressed up in a lab coat.

However, if it turns out to be the case, and it turns out that multiple "bangs" have occurred, then yes, evolution must have taken place in those universes in which life has arisen.

Perhaps there are universes much older than ours . Perhaps there is life on those other planets , out of our solar system. Perhaps that life is far more advanced than our own .
The chances are that we will never know . Those places would be so far away that it would be like taking a piece of paper the size of an opened-up newspaper . Type a one up in the corner , then fill the rest of the paper with zeros. That wouldn't even begin to show the distance in miles .
Oh yes , space travel ! reduce a person to molecules and ship him up . That's star-war fantasy. Stick to reality /

It's possible. It could have. It's highly likely that even within our own universe there are planets that have various forms of life. Maybe some have only simple, single-celled life forms, and maybe some have plant-like life, and maybe some have even more advanced intelligent life than we do. Of course, there's no way to know for certain until we develop the technology to observe galaxies and planets that are much, much further away than the ones we are able to observe now. Considering that there are billions of billions of other galaxies out there, each with their own suns and planets, the likelihood of there being life out there is so great as to be almost a certainty.

Well, I for one do not believe in the "big bang" theory. There are certain laws in science the says that the big bang could not have happened. For example If matter can never be created or distroyed then where did all the segments of the planets come from when that allowed the accretion process to take place?

It would seem that science is now saying there are 11 dimensions. and at least one other or, an infinite number of Universes. Perhaps we are but one bubble in a sea of universes that all have different laws of physics. That would mean literally that ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. Science rejected this for some time because the notion seemed so mystical.

Try this and see if you can still put all of life in a tidy little box. This is why studing science made me believe in God.

Google ring species, that could desire to sparkling issues up. "0.5 mutated animal-human morphs" is an ignorant myth. Evolution does not paintings like that. the way it works is like in ring species: preliminary inhabitants + separation + (microevolution x time) = speciation. Now for the vast Bang. the certainty is, mutually as all of us understand a superb variety of what befell after it, we've not got any thought what befell formerly it, in basic terms hypothesis. the only undertaking i'm optimistic of is that it wasn't "no longer something" (wtf isn't something besides), in spite of the shown fact that that's thoroughly unknown. maybe it's going to be familiar some day, maybe it won't. yet assuming it became right into a "god" no longer to indicate a particular one is in basic terms God of the Gaps fallacy. rather not sure what you advise via "suited timing" and "astonishing effects" in spite of the undeniable fact that. confident, the universe is deterministic and is pushed via gravity, magnetism and robust and susceptible nuclear forces. So?

Did the Big bang give you a conscious? Does the Big Bang come with a set of built in standards written in your heart that make you feel guilty when you do something wrong, I don't think so. Evolution is a money making theory, and people are getting rich, not me and you of course but what kind of salary do you think a scientist makes, more than what you make I would guess. How can a big bang make me think of Jesus Christ when I see a Cross on a Hill. Every time I see a cross it reminds me of Jesus, does it remind you, the Bible says that God wrote his laws in our hearts and minds, thus the guilty conscious and thus when you see a cross it has a spiritual meaning to it. Its in our instincts. Built in. Think about it. There are about 6000 years of recorded history, in all that time you would have thought man would be a lot smarter now than then, but scientists say who ever built the pyramids was a math genius, and that we could do no better today. Lets face it, the Bible is correct, Jesus died on a cross for you and me. On the Cross at Calvery he washed away our sins, he died once for ever. Now all we have to do is believe, Have you ever chosen to accept Christ as Saviour, you can right now, You can start a new life with a clean slate right now, just pray this sinners prayer, Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. Jesus will now send his Holy Spirit to come and live in your heart and guide you into all truth. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

Not that this is a science area, but...

If there are alternate universes, or pre-existing ones, those too might have the same physical laws and processes as our own. So yes, what you asked is possible.

However, those universes could have very different laws and processes, and could look nothing like our own.

A species in an older universe would be more evolved, but that does not mean better. If their world had little environmental change over most of its existance, there would be less derived traits among its species.
