Good question about life
July 10, 2012 at 1:04 am
I'm not a christian myself, but I got a pretty good question recently that I was not able to answer with satisfaction. So I registered here in hope of getting some help with this.
-Why is is that we just start breathing on our own? There has to be some sort of force in the universe that activates this.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Actually, organisms which do not start breathing at birth, die. Natural selection thus prevents them from passing on those faulty genes.

Natural selection cares not a whit for our expectations.

Is your question : how did organisms evolve to utilise oxygen?
Surely an infants birth reflex works due to it's biological programming that includes breathing. Taking a first breath isn't mysterious, it's an inevitable step of development?
