How do YOU think human life began?

Question

How do YOU think human life began?

Answer 1

God created human life

Answer 2

Evolved from gorillas. I only believe something truly until they prove it though. They are closest to proving that theory, and they will never prove the whole God thing

Answer 3

i believe that god created adam and used adams rib to create eve  and there is scientific proof because researchers found 1 gene thats common between all people and they named it the eve gene...but, wheres adam? since eve was made from adams rib, they would have the same genes!!  

Answer 4

with the formation of water, and the rays of the sun.

Answer 5

Genesis 1 - 26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 And God blessed them... 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.

Answer 6

Like all other creatures and all other aspects of the universe, the scientific assumption is that everything started out, and continues to be, governed by natural forces.

Answer 7

God created Adam and from his rib he created Eve.

Let's look at this scientifically Man has XY chromosome Woman XX

So If God took a rib (one leg of the X) from Adam to make Eve then Adam would have been an XX to start with. Have I confused you yet.

Who knows for sure; the bible is translated and therefore not 100% accurate.

Answer 8

"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."

Genesis 1:27

Pretty straightforward. ;)

Answer 9

im LDS a.k.a mormon so i say adam and eve

Answer 10

I'm 100% behind the creation theory.  Humans are made up of spirit (energy) and body (matter).  These were organized by the Creator to form the first man and the first woman.

Answer 11

it is hard to tell because there is no prove of anything so i don't know but i am happy to be alive whatever way the human race was created

Answer 12

G There is no beginning and no end. Life is life, and some of it is human.

Answer 13

The moment the first chimp decided to walk upright instead of swinging from the trees.

Answer 14

This is the philosophy section, so religious explanations miss the point.  If those are the answers you are looking for, you will find many but no one who knows anything.  Knowledge requires an understanding of biology, archeology, cosmology, and any number of other sciences.  The people who say God did it, are making the claim that they know more then the experts on these topics.  I doubt their claim.  

Answer 15

I don't think anyone human really knows, and the fact that most religions have a creation myth, most varying rather widely from each other, at least partially proves the fact. Additional proof that we don't really know comes for the fact that scientists also do not agree on how life, human or otherwise, was originally formed.

Answer 16

i think we evolved from microscopic bacteria and over trillions of year we evolved getting more human like. eventually to apes then into humans, thats why we and monkeys look so much alike  :)

Answer 17

Life is a journey that God is traveling.

The first phase of God's journey is evolution. It is initiated from a totally unconscious God as if an infinite Ocean of Knowledge, Power and Bliss were in a state likened to deep sleep. This unconscious God speaks the First Word "Who am I?". This question disrupts the limitless, undivided, absolute vacuum, and its reverberations create individualized souls, compared to drops or bubbles within the Ocean. By speaking the First Word, God establishes the process of Creation, in which he assumes evolving forms to gain increasing consciousness.

Individuality is the vehicle of this quest. Evolution marks a series of temporary answers to "Who am I?" The soul traverses a multitude of forms, beginning with simples gases and proceeding slowly through inanimate stone and mineral forms. These early evolutionary stages obviously have only the most rudimentary consciousness and cannot provide a satisfactory answer to God's original question.

The original query thus provides a continuing momentum for the drop soul to develop new forms each with greater consciousness, including the many plant and animal beings. Every evolutionary kingdom reveals new dimensions of consciousness and experience. Each also offers opportunities to gain different kinds of awareness. For example, when the soul identifies itself with varied species of fish, it experiences the world as a creature living in water conversely, as a bird, it enriches its consciousness by flying through air.



When the drop soul finally evolves to human form, consciousness is fully developed, but an individual is still not aware of the potential of his or her consciousness.

So the original "Who am I?" imperative persists and inaugurates the second phase: reincarnation. Since consciousness is fully developed, there is no longer a need for evolving new forms. The individual's experience, gathered in early stages of evolution, is now humanized and expressed in countless lifetimes. The impulses gained in sub-human forms can play themselves out in the broader context of intelligence, emotions, choices, diverse setting and interactions with people.

But obviously no single lifetime can bear the burden of "humanizing" the entire evolutionary inheritance randomly or simultaneously. There must be a method for re-experiencing the pre-human legacy in manageable segments. The soul thus experiences alternately a series of opposites, organized according to themes. Accordingly, in different lives, the soul becomes male and female, rich and poor, vigorous and weak, beautiful and ugly. Through exploring the potential of these many opposites, one eventually exhausts all possible human identities and, therefore, has fully learned the entire range of human experience.

Here begins the third phase: involution, the process by which the soul returns to the full awareness of the Divine Force, which created him. As Meher Baba puts it, "When the consciousness of the soul is ripe for disentanglement from the gross world (the everyday world of matter and forms), it enters the spiritual path and turns inward."

Like evolution, involution has certain states and stages, consisting of "planes" and "realms." But individuality continues along this spiritual path, and there are as many ways to God as there are souls.

Each new plane denotes a state of being that differs from the states that proceeded it. The first three planes are within the subtle world or domain of energy, "pran." There follows the fourth plane, the threshold of the mental world, where misuse of great power for personal desire can lead to disintegration of consciousness.

The fifth and sixth planes represent true sainthood, which is understood to be increasing intimacy with God as the Beloved. On the sixth plane, the mind itself becomes the inner eye that sees God everywhere and in everything. "The loving of God and the longing for His union," says Meher Baba "is fully demonstrated in the sixth plane of consciousness."

The seventh plane marks true and lasting freedom. Impressions go. Duality goes. The drops burst and again become the Ocean. God answers his question of "Who am I?" with "I am God." The Infinite has returned to the original starting point. He now knows, however, with full consciousness and full awareness that he was, is and always will be infinite with infinite Knowledge, Power and Bliss. And he realizes that the entire journey has been an illusory dream, the purpose of which is the full  

Answer 18

I think God created man in a single day, but a day to Him isn't the same as a day to us.

I don't think he just snapped his fingers, and there was Adam and Eve.  I believe the way he created us was through evolution.

Answer 19

well for sure i don't believe in the whole ape thing, why, because then all of the apes would be evolved for ex :lets say 1000 years ago their was type 1 fish then 200 years later type 1 evolved into type 2 and this means every fish has evolved meaning there are no more type 1 fish in the world............this goes for every animal that evolves including the apes BUT then how come there are still some apes in the world hmmmmm this leaves a huge gap in this theory.

in my opinion i think that god made molecules and they multiplied themselves and humens were made later on
