Evolution Questions

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Abiogenesis is not evolutionary theory, it's the border between chemistry and biology, and thus irrelevant to your supposed question.

It can be, chemical evolution.

Next level up from what I'm talking about. It's the boundary between simple chemicals and "life".

[Astreja]

Val, it is my belief that life started from very simple organic molecules, "self-replicating" modules,  that were structured in such a way that they could chemically make copies of themselves.  Eventually RNA formed, and then DNA.  Over very long periods of time, more complex structures aggregated and eventually resulted in what we now know as cells.  At this point, evolution could get underway.

Evolution has a natural bias towards supporting life -- Even a minuscule advantage in reproduction will allow a genetic line to perpetuate itself, and over time all those tiny advantages create trends -- towards multi-cellular organisms, towards awareness of and responsiveness to the environment, towards mobility, towards sentience and intelligence.  Things that work live to see another day; things that don't work tend to die out.

Man and other higher-order animals, if you look at them closely, are just collections of processes and specialized cell lines.  We are communities of evolved cells that perform mostly useful functions for the community as a whole, as well as for themselves.  There are a lot of dead ends and sometimes deleterious features that came along for the ride, features that no longer work, coding that might have functioned 10,000 generations ago but is now just junk DNA, taking up space on a chromosome but not doing anything in particular.

You just need something, anything, that can replicate with less than perfect fidelity, and bam, Charlie D is in da house.

Interesting tidbits:  Through the other DNA donor (no longer *in* our household, thank FSM), my daughter is related to the Wedgwood family and thereby indirectly related to Charlie D.  My mother also shared the same birthday, and my brother is a microbiologist/geneticist.

BTW, do medical message boards ever get members of the public posting and disputing why and how appendectomies are done ??

(think about it)

Ok, so after the big bang happened please explain in a nutshell where all the living creatures ,including us, came from and managed to be so complex like all living beings are?

Everything's better with Spock:

I can imagine the OP might object with how suddenly the video jumps from describing geological processes to announcing that tiny organisms emerged. Everyone knows that God actually put the trees and other advanced organisms upon the earth first and then turned the lights on by creating the sun. Don't listen to the fake science people, creation science is yuuuuge.

Nobody game me a real answer yet.Seriously, please explain your idea or theory of the question:
"Where did all the living creatures ,including us, come from and managed to be so complex like all living beings are?"
Please try to refrain from just joking around or asking a question to my question.Thanks!

Lots of posters have ventured theories of what your question might be about.  You just haven't responded.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Well, we're not following the script that was written for us by believers. In that script we fall for every verbal trap and logic pitfall, 'cause we stupid, yo.

Where's the "Thank you, everyone, for correcting my misconceptions about the connection between the Big Bang and evolution."?

There are multiple theories on how life got started on Earth, from abiogenesis to panspermia - feel free to look up these ideas on actual science websites, not some creationists conspiracy site.

How did we become what we are?

We evolved, over hundreds of millions of years.

And before you say, "just a theory", learn what the word means in a scientific context.

I believe I can see where this is going: Long series of leading questions then a claim or rationale to support or reinforce your own non acceptance of science.

This is Ray Comfort level of "curiosity", I suspect.

I'll apologise if I'm wrong.

Yes, actually.

Perhaps not appendectomies directly, but many other tried and proven medical procedures.
