it seems there is the big bang theory and then the evolution theory, but a whole cycle is skipped in between. what is it?

Wow,

I never understand why some people think the religion section is the place to ask questions about science.

Ask a scientist if you really want to know.

It depends which "science" you're talking about. If you're talking about scientists that believe in the big bang theory and evolution theory you are right, they don't have much to say about abiogenesis because the more we learn, the more we realize the impossibility of life beginning spontaneously. The theory of spontaneous generation has been thrown into the junk heap of bad science a long time ago along with the flat earth theory. (Of course there are still those that believe in a flat earth, so it stands to reason that there would still be those that believe in spontaneous generation.)

It is becoming more evident all the time that evolutionism is on the verge of extinction. There are only two possibilities life started by itself, which is "impossible". The other is intelligent design. This is the only one that makes sense.

According to the big bang theory, the universe expanded from a point called a singularity, then came the formation of stars and the first planets. The origin of life is described in a subject called "abiogenesis", evolution explains how life changes over time.


Might I add that this is over-simplified, if you want to go into details, simply get a textbook and read a few chapters on each of the subjects, or simply go to wikipedia.

Life is missing. There is no mention of how life was created. The Big Bang Theory explains how the universe got started, but doesn't explain how life came into being from non-life.

Evolution was of course, after the whole "life" cycle.

The Big Bang Theory explains how when matter moved farther apart after the Big Bang, temperatures cooled, allowing more complex elements to form, which in turn, allowed conditions for life to form.

Evolution takes over from there.

What do you mean. after the big bang then came earth, then the formation of the environment which had a lot of carbon dioxide, then came the creation of small amino acids and organic molecules that where created by some lightning and stuff. later these molecules formed proteins and later dna and then cells and then came evolution

The principal hypothesis for origin of life is abiogenesis, gradual accrual of complex molecules. The period in which life arose has few enough rocks and the organic molecules have been subjected to billions of years of climate. It may be possible to get a direct frozen sample of material that was ejected into space in the heavy bombardment era. We have sampled the surface of Titan where complex molecules exist. The Miller-Urey experiment demonstrated that the building blocks of life form readily under simple conditions.

There is the Oparin Hypothesis, which postulates that long ago, conditions on Earth allowed for production of the building blocks of life and that over a VERY LONG period of time, life developed from this.

It should be noted that the long debunked theory of abiogenesis taught that life developed from non-life relatively quickly, in a few weeks time. This is a big difference from the Oparin Hypothesis.

Step 1. nothing existed
Step 2. singularity with in a big black void
Step 3. solar system, planets, environmental cycles
Step 4. little warm pond
Step 5. simple life forms
Step 6. monkeys evolve
Step 7. mankind emerges

I cant see where they left anything out what so ever.


BTW- Men are evolving into apes

We admit we don't know. There are just some questions that science has not found the real answers for yet. perhaps, its spontaneous life, or life seeded from a comet. Those are two theories they are working on. Unlike religious nuts, scientists admit when they don't know an answer, they don't just make one up.

The science of abiogenesis is in its infancy today. There are several plausible explanations, but nothing that would really qualify as a solid theory at this point.
