Where did we come from?

WIZE

I was watching the Documentry on The Discovery Channel and they said life most likey started from minerals on an asteroid which crashed into Earth

Religous people will say Adam and Eve

So how did life end up on earth

That is the Question

Im sure the guys over on the conspiracy theories forum know the answer to this

Well they may have a theory on it, which is more than you offered

What is it lately with people referring to the CT forum? Is this the best you can come up with, really?

When meteorites crashed into not so dead Mars, it blew people all the way to earth. Thus humans on earth.

The problem with the "higher being" hypothesis is that it doesn't explain anything. There's no further predictions you can make from such a model, it doesn't give any new info, etc. Whereas if there are genuine scientific theories, they will be testable and so on.
Saying "I don't know so it must be...", well, refer to my sig for that

Id say that was some craic.

One minute on Mars then Next thing you know your on earth

it's just that's what there is evidence of therefore i believe that

I don't think you understand what evolution means. It's the process that leads to the diversification of organisms on earth through natural selection, gene drift ecetera. It is not a theory on the origin of life.

IMO life prob started by the chance formation of R.N.A or something along those lines near high energy thermal vents.

Well its the one I believe personally.

Fair enough, my own motto is each to their own really.

I personally think each person is natural disposed to either believe or not believe in a god, with you're environment and upbringing obviously having an influence. I mean I think some people just naturally cant or dont want to believe in a god, and that opposite is true, and another group in the middle somewhere.

A combination of morbid fancination and schadenfreude.

Life is a big elaborate cause and effect chain reaction that has its foundations with simple chemical reactions.

But where did those chemicals come from?

If people are interested in one side they should check Stephen Hawkings lastest series, in particular this episode.

its the first of 9 parts just to warn, so its pretty long. But even if you dont agree with it, its pretty interesting

Darwin, Dawkins et al have proven, beyond reasonable doubt and with concrete evidence, the whole God creating earth thing to be a load of bollix..

Evolution has been proven, creationism is just some fairytale dreamt up by organised religious groups to explain what could not be explained many years ago!

Gamma Ray Burst, exploding stars etc.

yeah but should life not exsist on other planets in our Solar System then and assemble differently to suit other planets?

Well, earth is nicely placed in the so-called 'habitable zone' in the solar system although there is still theories that suggest microbial life could have existed on Mars.

Just to point out, evolution or so called micro evolution is an observable effect in biology, its a process that happens, there can be no doubt about that. However the theory of evolution or macro evolution, i.e. Darwin's theory etc has not been proven. If it had why would it still be called a theory? For most people the majority of the evidence points to it being correct I agree. However its incorrect to say its been proven.

Stars fusing heavier elemensts which are then released in a supernova which then condenses to form a solar system. The elements react to form chemicals. High energy areas on earth increase odds of complex organic molecules forming.

Evolution is a fact. The way we think it happened (via natural selection) is indeed, in the strictest scientific sense, a theory.

A theory is a substantiated explanation of facts and observations.
A theory is never, ever going to "graduate" into a fact or a law. A theory is as good as it gets.
This is a scientific theory. It is not to be confused with "I had an idea..."

Evolution is both a fact and a theory. This is a good thing, not a "just".

You do realize macro evolution is just a lot of micro-evolution right?

Is this higher being super natural or natural? It's a valid theory as no one can say for certain that didn't happen because we cant prove it didn't happen.

Just because you can't disprove something doesn't make it a valid theory.

You can't disprove I was the one who created the universe, and have existed in various guises since the dawn of time. But it's obviously nonsense.

No one will be able to ever prove what "started life". We can come up with theory's and maybe even possibly demonstrated them some day, for example create life in a lab in accordance to some hypothesis, however there will always be questions and no definitive answer.

Science doesn't deal in proof though; it deals in evidence. We come up with working models and test how accurate our predictions are against the results.

Were did the very first thing that started this evolutionary chain come from?

That is a fair point, it is still just a theory. However a theory backed up with significant evidence, much more so than the whole "God" theory..

Any valid theory or model is falsifiable. That's how it works.
That means "a god did it" is effectively useless, tells us nothing, and is most certainly not a theory.

Please don't make me beat you over the head with my last post :mad:
A "scientific theory" IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS.
Please go read up on it.
And evolution is a fact and a theory. Both.

I obviously agree with everything you say, and it probably better explains what I was trying to say in that post than I did.

I just dont like when people say a theory is proven, but I suppose your post shows better than I did why theories are never proven as such, just more and more evidence gathered to substantiate them.

So where did life come from then ?

I come to the conclusion that life was on another planet that exploded some where out there and a piece of that planet ended up on earth to create life here

I also saw that the water is covered in water due to a comet of Ice Asteroid hitting earth so maybe the particals of like arrived with the water

I dont mean humans but another living thing

What I dont get though is why life in any way has not adapted its self on any of our local planets

Abrasax

Didn't it start the same way we were all conceived, with a Big Bang?
