I know that this is about Evolution, which starts with a single cell, and can not explain how life began in the first place...

but how can all these scientists who are so sure evolution is true still have absolutely no clue about how life actually began? No evolutionist has even come close to being able to explain it. it is simple not possible for life to create itself. Richard Dawkins himself acknowledges this, and even he says there is evidence in the details of molecular biology you can find evidence of some sort of designer.

Out of interest, who of you who believe in evolution also believe life created itself? and for that matter, who believe in the big bang? because im interested to know why you actually believe that

I understand evolution, that is correct in my view. No creator though, life formed by itself (because who created the creator, it's a logical paradox, one which discounts one). As for Big bang, the theory is far from complete, why every week I seem to read something new about it, such as big bounce and so on. The big bang happened but we are from from understanding what really happened. But at least we are exploring it and I'm sure instituions like CERN feel as though they are on the right tracks due to the course of their research.

 

 

Theres such a huge difference though, between evolution and big bag/ how life began. Evolution has evidence for it, which is why many people believe in it.

The other two... It is a pretty well known law of physics that energy cannot be created or destroyed, and yet you believe that everything came from nothing? apart from that, it is scientifically impossible for life to create itself. Darwin believed that life started from a single cell, right. At the time it was believed that a single cell was fairly simple... It is known now, though, that one single cell is infinitely complex. The idea that it just came together by chance is no more believable then the idea of someone making it. Believing in the big bang/ random creation of life is essentially a religion.

 

(sorry if i sounded like i was 'attacking' you, just questioning)

 

No need to appologise, after all it wouldn't be a debate without two sides.

To be honest I don't know how life started, I am in no way qualified to answer that question. But I have weighed up the ideas I find more likely and a creator is pretty low on my scale of chance simply because it starts and endless paradox (the creator had to be created, then he creates us and then t is likely that way into the future will create, that just means for infinity creators have been creating).

A single cell is infinitely complex, but it wasn't always like that, I imagine the original proto-cells were extremely simple by comparison, literally just a blob of protein. It then became more complex gradually through random mutations. It would be far more likely that blob could form through natural chemistry. That's my idea anyway.

As for big bang theory. It's hard to explain where the energy came from (we know) Read about it, I can't explain, I'm not to good with explainations lol.

That said, A LOT of evidence exists for the big bang, heck, their are tests you could probably do yourself to prove it happened. But it's the details like, how many times has it happened etc... that we don't know much about.
