Evolution

[Brian37]

Sorry, I should have been more detailed. I'm trying to point out the origins of life.

We do not know the origins of life yet. Notwithstanding that simple fact, I feel quite relaxed about dismissing your fairy tale about your god playing in the dirt.

Eventually science will come up with an answer.

You will not.

Huh? Yes we DO know the origins of life. DNA.

That would be like saying "We don't know the origins of rain".

We don't know the exact year the first strands of DNA came about, but science has given it a range in terms of years. But there was no "first strand" there was a climate that allowed tons of strands, just like conditions in the atmosphere will lead to multiple clouds that lead to a storm that produces rain.

It is better to think of evolution not as "firsts" but in terms of transitions which can happen on a mass scale as much as it involves individuals. Just like a snow storm is the result of a collective climate and not the result of one cloud or one snow flake, but of multiple transitions involving multiple factors.

DNA is the origin of life.
