Atheists....Which came first?

Question

Which evolved first?

The digestive system, the food to be digested, the appetite, the ability to find and eat the food, the digestive juices, or the bodys resistance to its own digestive juices?

If thats ones a little hard how about this one...

Which came first DNA or RNA to carry the DNA message to cell parts?

Cant wait to read your answers.

So sorry...I made a misjudgement. I actually thought atheists might have done some research to back up their beliefs that there isnt a God. I guess i never realized atheism can be "Blind Faith"

Ok..so i see now some of you are saying the food came first then the digestive system, but wouldnt the life form die from hunger before the digestive system evolved? After all evolution happens over lots of time right? How can a life form evolve if its dead? Isnt it logical to assume that there was a creator that created everything all at once?

Answer 1

Get ready. They will ignore the evidence and just insult you.

That's all they know how to do.

EDIT--No, this question is in the correct section. The "theory"(that means not fact for you who need the help) of evolution takes faith to believe in the so-called evidence. It is a religion. Plain and simple.

Isn't it always great when you get the "well...it's just not that simple...blah blah blah" answers.

I praise God for creating the universe and everything in it, and making the people who believe otherwise look ignorant with the type of evidence that you brought up.

They can't answer it and they will not. Read the posts. It's a shame.

Answer 2

thats hard to say, because people didnt start out as human shaped hunks of flesh that just evolved certain systems at random points in history. Evolution started with single celled organisms which had no need for all of these complicated systems. Read a book about biology instead of asking people to remember something they didnt pay attention to in high school. Way before the time there were even bodies there were already the enzymes present in digestive juices, which would only be present in concentrations not harmful to the cell but strong enough to break down the simplest of molecules for energy. Which simlar enzymes that could break down other foods came up dependant on wether or not they would destroy the cell and whether the environment necessitated it. finding and eating food was no problem to microscopic life, as can be observed by most microbes which are not automotive but sustain themselves off of whatever food particles come their way. Honestly all of this information is out there, you just dont want to hear it, hence the fact that you are looking on the religious section of yahoo answers for someone to refute all religion. Thats like asking a barber if you need a haircut and expecting him to say no.

There is a lot more scientific evidence that supports evolution than contradicts it. In fact, nothing contradicts it, it is just that not enough evidence has been found yet to show exactly how everything evolved and at what exact time in relation to everything else. Just because one person cant explain to you every minor detail about a very broad topic doesnt mean his position cant be right. An absense of evidence is not evidence of absense. All organisms share the same genetic coding system with adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine in their DNA. How you can acknowledge that and deny that all organisms could have come from one organism is beyond me.

Answer 3

From a single celled organism? Well, depending on what the organism ate it may depend on the food that it ate. It could be cannabalistic in which case they came about at an identical time. They could have just absorbed proteins like any single celled organism now so would need no digestive system. Everything else evolved at the same rate. If the organism's resistance to it's own digestive juices were not developed at the same time as the organism, it would have obviously died. The strength of the digestive juices would have to develop at the same rate as the resistance to it. They started very weak and could digest few things. The ones who, by natural selection, could resist stronger digestive juices and produce stronger ones would thrive and be more likely to pass on those traits to it's offspring. The ones that did develop these traits would pass them onto their offspring which is the course natural selection takes. Instinct to find food was immediate because if they didn't possess it, they would soon die. Another case of natural selection.

As for DNA and RNA, the proteins that make up DNA and RNA developed at the same rate and began at the same time or the organism would not be able to pass on it's genes.

That's just my best guess. I'm no cellular biologist, so I don't have the best answer. I guess it would be easy to be an expert on creation and what not because the answer to every question would be "God did it".

Answer 4

Do you have to be an atheist? Can't you just tell us whats on your mind? Sounds like a trap to me. Are you sincerely looking for answers or just looking for an opportunity to bash atheists?
I'm assuming that you believe evolution is false. If that is the case then instead of being born why don't we just appear out of nowhere instead of being born or bothering with fetal development. Scientific evidence is not the plot of the devil. God is not so vain that every creation has to be like a magical phenomena. We start out as small little embryos and develop.
We grow to maturity and then these characteristics fade as we grow older then we die at least materially. I don't really know where you are coming from but I'll try.
Digestion is absorbtion or even energy transfer. All life must have it. Well IDK this could become tediously lengthy.
Actually man came first but not in the form he is today.
If he was always man (women too) then whatever shape was most pleasing to God that was the next step. How long this process took is unknown. But if man was always man w/ a soul waiting like a child waits in its mothers womb to be born
then who cares about the digestive system. Everything evolved. all systems. The true evolution is the evolution of the soul. What good is a perfect house of worship if no goes there to pray? Man is the final and ultimate goal of evolution,
but we did not appear out of thin air overnight. It took a very long time. Kinda like the length of this answer. Ok I give up.
My answer which was not one of your options is that hunger evolved first. RNA and DNA are first cousins. They tied for 2nd place after the mitocondria.

Answer 5

Digestion first occurred at the cellular level. Cells pick up organic molecules and break them down. Not hard to do. Food has been around as long as organisms have. The appetite only exists in animals, as only animals search for food. It coevolved with the rest of the things you have listed. Look at the animal kingdom for examples of possible intermediate steps between protozoa and vertebrates. Jellyfish don't have a digestive system, they have a single opening which food goes into and waste comes out of. Many animals digest their food outside of their bodies.

As for RNA and DNA, RNA was probably first. It's easier to make and can code messages as well. It was eventually used as a template for DNA.

This really should be in the science section.

Answer 6

I hope you know that not all atheists are believers of evolution Well well. That shows how ignorant you are.

I am not a biologist, or even a health practitioner, but you know...

1. Food to be digested.
2. Digestive juices/Digestive system.
3. Body's resistance.
4. Appetite.
5. Ability to find food.

1. DNA
2. RNA

It's based off of my own common sense. Now, your turn! Explain to me how your god created creatures, and how did they form? Did they just appear out of no where?

EDIT: "I actually thought atheists might have done some research to back up their beliefs that there isnt a God."

Well, how can we have proof of one's lack of existence if their existence never existed?
Where's your proof that God exists? It's all your faith. We don't claim to know everything. If I were to ask you for proof that God exists, it'd probably the same answer. "Look at the world around you." You've only proven that there is a world around me, nothing more.

Answer 7

food was originally inorganic material, therefore, i suppose that came first.
then came a cell which used vacuoles to uptake fluid from its environment.
cells then evolved various sensory mechanisms to detect the food and maintain homeostasis.
the digestive system evolved next, though at first it did not "dissolve" things.
then came the digestive juices and simultaneously the body's resistance to it (primarily the mucosa)
the appetite developed to signal to the animal that it needed food.
And the theory is that RNA came first.

You know, most scientists are rather accepting of your point of view. Why can't you be the same in return?

But, seeing as you began insulting my beliefs first...
I find the idea that an invisible man in the sky created the universe absolutely ridiculous. Sue me.

PS.
you said digestive SYSTEM
a system is a group of organs working together
an organ is a group of cells
therefore, cells can't have organs (they have organelles) and since they don't have organs, they can't have organ systems.
as i said, the early cells used vacuoles, which are organelles that contain digestive enzymes.

Answer 8

That's a very unanswerable question. There isn't enough information about how life began on the world. Even so, lack of knowledge doesn't mean to me that a magical man/woman in the sky made everything appear out of nothing.

Just think. Some religions used to believe that a god used to pull the sun across the sky, because they couldn't explain why it did. They used to say that the world was flat, and that if you went too far, you'd fall off the edge into oblivion.

Science has eventually been able to prove every religion wrong so far. Give it a while, I'm sure it'll prove yours wrong too.

Edit- I love how the religious people say "Oh, you're going to get a lot of insults" and then go on to insult us by calling us ignorant for not believing in God.

If that's how this is played, then fine. Screw all of you who call us ignorant for not believing in God. The theory of evolution is still just a theory, that's true. For a scientific theory to be made a law, or fact, enough people just have to agree that it's true. It's because of fanatics like you people that it's been slapped down time and time again. Our 'evidence' doesn't satisfy you? Show me one shred of evidence that God exists. By the way, you can't quote the Bible as evidence, based on your own beliefs. The God is supposed to be infallible, but man is not, and man wrote the bible.

Let us Atheists believe what we believe, and you can go on believing you extremely dated superstitions.

Answer 9

What does this have to do with Atheism?

1.) the person to be hungry, then he found the food, then digesting the food.
Duh.

2.)Basing on the fact that DNA and RNA are so incredibly diffrent, basing it on common knowledge the RNA would have to have somewhere to carry the proteins/meassages to it would be logical for the DNA to come first

Answer 10

"So sorry...I made a misjudgement. I actually thought atheists might have done some research to back up their beliefs that there isnt a God. I guess i never realized atheism can be "Blind Faith""

That's the best you can do?
That's pretty lame and childish, kid. Essentially everyone who responded to your question nailed your sorry little *** to the wall. False bravado doesn't change that fact.

Answer 11

God became very particular while he gave over a hundred prophecies interior the OT with regard to the 1st coming of Jesus Christ. They have been all actually fulfilled while Jesus got here the 1st time. hence I easily have great self assurance interior the prophecies concerning his 2d Coming. The Bible tells us that Jesus had to be born in Bethlehem. The call of the city became given 1000's of years previously Christ became born. He could additionally be born of a woman who became a Jew. Mary's kinfolk tree includes Jews. The Bible additionally says that the Messiah would be pierced (as Jesus became on the bypass), and truly some different prophecies. The activities which could take place while Jesus comes returned have not happened. while Jesus comes returned, he will come out of the sky, shining vivid so as that no possible omit Him. the sky would be darkish on the time, so each eye will see Him it seems that. Your question is a sturdy one. it fairly is spoke back by paying interest to the particular information with regard to the form given interior the Bible. all of us understand the Son of God, the Savior of the international, the choose of the residing and the ineffective has come with the aid of volume of prophecy he completely fulfilled. all of us understand Jesus has no longer come the 2d time with the aid of fact the activities have not spread out interior the way the Bible states.
