  • Evolution says nothing at all about how life began. There are other theories for that. The most likely in my opinion is that among the zillions of planets out there, on a few of them the conditions were right for the simplest self-replicating molecules to form out of the simpler organic chemicals. Once that happened, evolution took over. As for how the universe itself began, we have no evidence that it did - that is, the universe may have always existed.
  • Science of ancient Greece couldn't explain waves on the ocean, did Poseidon then exist at that time?
  • Evolution says nothing about how life began, only how it developed to what we have today, once it existed. Cosmology and physics are the fields studying where and how the universe might have come about. Just because we don't know (yet) does NOT mean that, automatically, god exists, there's only one, it's a He, his name is jehova or yahweh or whatever he calls himself and jesus is his son and everyone else is wrong about their gods and they're going to hell but you are going to heaven... "Don't know yet" means, simply, "Don't know yet."
  • Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together, before we clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing [Qur'aan 21:30] The Qur'aan is clear that Allah created Adam from His own Hands, and "From him He created his mate, and from these two He spread forth many men and women" (4:1) First of all, it is important to note that “Allah” is the same word that Arabic-speaking Christians and Jews use for God. If you pick up an Arabic Bible, you will see the word “Allah” being used where “God” is used in English. This is because “Allah” is a word in the Arabic language equivalent to the English word “God” with a capital “G”. Additionally, the word “Allah” cannot be made plural, a fact which goes hand-in-hand with the Islamic concept of God. It is interesting to note that the Aramaic word “El”, which is the word for God in the language that Jesus spoke, is certainly more similar in sound to the word “Allah” than the English word “God.” This also holds true for the various Hebrew words for God, which are “El” and “Elah”, and the plural or glorified form “Elohim.” The reason for these similarities is that Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic are all Semitic languages with common origins source: www.sultan.org and www.thisistruth.org

  • Life didn't begin with evolution. Some theories suggest life got here from elsewhere in the universe, some suggest ambiogenesis. Evolution explains how life got to be so diverse once it began. Currently, the scientific community favor Big Bang for the origin of our universe. This theory DOES NOT state "something from nothing" - only creationists claim anyone believes that - it states that everything emerged from something beyond our current understanding. Or in other words, everything came from an unknown. That's a big difference from "nothing". You are perfectly free to think of god as the creator who hides in shadows of ignorance. As science is able to shine a light deeper into those shadows, such a god would have to retreat further. But there really isn't any need to look for god there. It's perfectly OK to admit we don't know everything. In fact science isn't really a system for saying what is - it's a system for exploring the unknown, for answering questions. Without unknowns there would BE no science. +5
  • Life did not begin with the "evolution theory". I suggest you do some research on evolution and find out what it actually is. Also, we don't know certainly how the universe began, or if it even did. Neither do you. Just because we don't know, it doesn't mean that a god did it, much less one specific god, much less YOUR god. I mean, okay, let's just say that we just proved that the universe was started by divine force. That could be Zeus, it could be Allah, it could be the flying spaghetti monster. Also, if "you can't make something from nothing", as you claim, how did your god come into existence? *gasp*
  • Bingo. Something DID come from nothing. Explain THAT with reason. It doesn't make sense. Yet, here we are. Hmmmm, I must scratch my head and ponder this... DOES NOT COMPUTE, DOES NOT COMPUTE.. POOOF! Maybe it is a mystery? Maybe this mystery could represent what used to be called "God"? Damn, I'm starting to feel the presence of this mystery thing more and more... what's going on? OMG... am I, evolving? Jumpin Jesus on a pogo stick what's happening to me? Help, anything new is scary!!! Put me back in the compression chamber!!!!!
  • Evolution isn't about the beginning of life or the universe. Only people who don't know what evolution is say that. There's a world of difference between "theory X doesn't explain this" and "that must mean there is a god". http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/library/faq/cat01.html http://evolution.berkeley.edu/
  • Look i supose i should have fraised it better, what I was asking is how did the universe begin i mean every star contains ALOT of energy how did this energy come to be if you can't make something from nothing
  • Abiogenesis is the study of life began. And who's to say the Universe came from nothing? It may have been the collapse of a previous Universe that triggered the formation of this one. We may in fact just be riding on the shock waves of an explosion so vast it will take trillions of years to die down. Maybe god blew himself up with his own chemistry set. Should have read the instructions...
  • Some say that you can make something out of nothing without breaking any law of nature. This theory rewords the law of conservation of energy and matter to say that the total amount of matter and energy cannot change withing a closed system. In this theory, gravity is considered to be a form of negative energy.It is argued that if you add up all the matter and energy in the universe, it is cancelled out by this negative energy. In this scenario, matter and energy can be created out of nothing as long as an equal amount of negative energy is created to cancel it out.This does not break the laws of Physics. Supporters of this theory say that the total amount of matter and energy in the Universe today is zero due to including gravity. (negative energy)
  • Life on Earth didn't begin with the evolution theory, as you put it. The theory of evolution, which explains how life began, didn't come about until after millions (or at least hundreds of thousands) of years of species development allowed our particular species to realize how we had come into existence. As to whether God exists, that's not a scientific question, so I have to switch gears. As a theological question, I would say definitively yes. For the most compelling evidence of this fact, I would have to cite the existence of the human mind, which has the capability to (sometimes) view itself objectively and ask questions that have the potential to expose misconceptions it may have as a result of its own assumptions. If that ain't a miracle, I don't know what is.
