  • Yes. If my biology teacher has taught me nothing else, it's that.
  • In my humble opinion: No!
  • Of course. You can't have something without nothing. Image nothing but space, going on and on, with nothing in it forever. But there you are imagining it, and you are something in it. The whole idea of there being only space, and nothing else at all is not only inconceivable but perfectly meaningless, because we always know what we mean by contrast.
  • Yes. I wouldn't like to think about the odds, but I really believe they could.
  • It has..in more than 1 circumstance..
  • Nope, no way. Nothing happens by chance.
  • short answer is yes-longer answer says that nothing cannot exist but given what is availible and the right conditions life forms everytime-this experiment has been around for awhile with the same results-amino acids the building blocks of life will form-no long from there to more complicated life is a better question as there isnt a way yet to speed up that process-one has to believe though that this universe is teeming with life everywhere suitable conditions exist-and one has to wonder what we will find-if it wasnt for massive die offs in earths history man might not exist today as fairly stable populations came into being many a time in earths history before intelligence was developed-will be interesting to learn the answers to these questions someday---cool question-smile and enjoy the day
  • WOW! what a great question. Great food for thought (and is quite rehtorical with the knowledge (or lack of it) that man pocesses today). In my oppinion, it does seem very unlikely that life is a result of time and chance. However, I'd have to admit that this is the most believeable theory so far (in MY oppinion) since so far our only other explanation on how life was created is "god". Maybe it's just that ppl stopped looking for the answer once they decided to accept the first one they heard which is why we only have these two, highly doubtful theories.
  • "You can't get something from nothing." The fact is it has happened, though, bringing with it questions of Why and How? and putting that rule and religious beliefs into the equation. I, myself have pondered this question, also. Science and religion both have the answer, yet both, in my opinion,leave millions of unanswered questions. Personally, I believe neither is the one and only answer. Science helps us understand how the universe was created, and the Bible helps science to understand so much about early societies. I believe science merely is following the footprints of Gods creation of the universe; And we are alone in the universe. I also think that your question is the greatest question of all, ever, because everyone asks themselves the same thing and answers differently, throughout history.
  • Apparently so
  • Not from "nothing," but from elements in combination to make amino acids and protiens, which became the building blocks of life.
  • If you put a broken clock in a million pieces in a box and after a couple of million years will it have reassembled itself?
  • in a retrospect kind of as one thing that i learned you might be able to you might not be!
  • Not from nothing, but from Proteins, from unbranched chains of amino acids. In the scientific community there is no debate about this. All natural process have the potential to be explained scientifically, but you don't have to like or appreciate it. For many people describing nature this way is like describing a Beethoven symphony as a variation of wave pressure.
  • That depends on how you percieve "nothing" Everything didn't come from nothing. It came from somewhere. Science just hasn't discovered it yet.
  • 1920's american psychic Edgar Cayce claimed he could travel through space and time to find cures for sick people. He also claimed he could go back in time while in a trance. One time he claimed to have gone back to a time before the universe existed and found himself in a completely dark void but could sense some sort of spirit being which seemed to be in the agony of loneliness. As he "waited" ,as it were in this timeless void, he sensed the spirit contract in on itself (as a lonely person might do) until it was so intense that it exploded into an expanding ball of light and matter. Within that ball the spirit created a universe to save itself from loneliness. This was before the development of the Big Bang theory, incidentally. So presumably spirit can be converted into energy, just as we now know energy can be converted into mass. Not sure if spirit qualifies as "nothing".
  • NOOOOOOOOOOO, theres has to be an Intelligent Design, the big bang breaks every rule of thermodynamics and every rule of physics that life is based upon... also for life to just have created by itself is absoluteily a horrible idea, it was a smart idea wen it first came out, based on what we knew in science, but now i think you have to be stupid to think that with what we no. It takes over 200 identicle amino proteins to create a cell, i dont know what number of probability you would get but lets just simplify n say by just flippin a coin n getin heads everytime consecutivly just out of 200 flipps is 1 in 200 to the power of 200 sounds unlikely........................
  • Not a chance.
