2) Where evolution start from (matter, plants, animals, humans?).
3) Where evolution come from (from nowhere, planet Mars, the moon, from God or from God in a latent form and it just wake up?????).
4) Where evolution is heading to?
5) Is evolution individual or not?
6) Can we inherited consciousness from previous generation.
7) Can we lose consciousness or is only a way up?
1) Chemistry, the same thing that runs it, now. The current best hypothesis (there are several competing ideas for this one) is that comets containing the basic chemistry that would become life crashed down into our volcano-warmed oceans on the early earth, and seeded enough material near geothermal vents that the components which make up life were able to coalesce on a substrate (something like shale) into self-replicating molecules. From there, it was off to the races! This answer is unrelated to how evolution actually works, however, as we've explained to you numerous times.
2) Wut? If you're asking what the first life forms were like, the answer is bacteria (or more probably, archaea, which are similar). Life didn't develop multicellular forms until about a billion years into its existence. Our first evidence of that is among the cyanobacteria (the ancestors of the chloroplasts found in plants).
3) It came from earth. However, some of the components appear in interstellar ice clouds, formed by the way radiation from stars interacts with the materials contained in the comets. Experiments here on earth have demonstrated that what we see in space via radio telescopes actually happens.
4) I have no idea what this question means. You could ask those first multicellular cyanobacteria colonies where evolution was heading (if they were capable of understanding the question and communicating an answer), and they wouldn't be able to tell you what a plant was, let alone a chloroplast.
5) Evolution via Natural Selection is individual, in the sense that your ability to reproduce successfully is what matters. However, the mechanisms of evolution work on the scale of the entire gene pool in which that creature is reproducing. In other words, each individual's relative fitness for reproduction compared to others in that gene pool determines the evolutionary "direction" of that gene pool, over generations.
6) I have no idea what this question is asking. If you're asking if we remember what our grandparents remembered, then not as far as I am aware. If you have peer-reviewed data on this subject, I'd be interested... but I suspect you don't.
7) Literally no idea what you're asking me, here.
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
