  1. Well..... er.... when two people love each other very much.... scientifically, of course...  then they get married..... and then....  


  2. Bibilacaly - God Created  Scientifically - Evolution.  

  3. How far back do you want to go?

    A few hundred million to our original ancestor, an amorphous blob of protein? Or maybe only some 6 million to the very earliest primitive offshoot of a common ancestor of all primates (apes, chimps, bonobos, lemurs, gorillas and humans) which stood barely 3 feet tall, could not speak or use tools and spent most of it's time in the forests eating fruit, berries and nuts.

    Humans have taken millions of years to evolve, they changed as the world changed, adapting to a changing environment, learning skills, using that opposable thumb to grasp stones and sticks to make tools (and, sadly weapons).

    The miracle of human evolution is the fact that humans, not the strongest or fastest of animals used their huge brains to think their way to the top, read any book by Stephen Jay Gould for some well written explanations of how we got here.

  4. "not that a human just poofed out of nowhere you know"

    Isn't that pretty much the biblical explanation?

    Modern homo sapiens emerged as a result of millions of years of genetic mutation and natural selection in lower lifeforms. This is called evolution. As it stands, apes (chimps esp.) are our closest living ancestors, but we did not evolve FROM them, we just share a common ancestor. Everything does: the first single celled organism.

  5. Through evolution. Smaller cells that now have become more evolved species.  

  6. Humans are physically just animals and we evolved from lower lifeforms like all other life on the planet.  Our closest relative, the chimps, shares an ancestor 5 to 7 million years ago.  There is really no doubt whatsoever to anyone who has seen and understands the data.  We can trace our ancestry back to the earliest mammals and even much further by the fossil record alone.  The genetic studies prove it as much as anything can be proven in science and that includes the Earth not being flat. The only logical scientific conclusion is that all life evolved from bacteria more primitive than any known to exist today.
