  2. no one really knows the answer,  there are two sides to this, the first is genesis - or the creation of all living beings by god.

    The second is the scientific (and more feasible in my own opinion) , a couple of theories suggest that amino acids trapped inside a asteroid that collided with the earth, effectively seeding the earth with the building blocks of life.

    Others believe that these amino acids may have been trapped in rock, which acted as a template (like dna/rna)

    and another is that the amino acids were sparked into life

    due to the earths volatile atmosphere.

    google carl sagan, and you should get an idea of the theories out there,

  4. it depends if you believe God or science. i don't know which to believe.

    if you believe God, he created the world, then man, took a rib from him and created woman.  

    if you believe science, there was some freak accident involving a number of different elements and some type of storm.  this created an extremely small cell, which grew and evolved into more complex creatures, and eventually us.  

    it's all pretty confusing to me too.

  6. Before Life started, there was no Life.

    Visit: wikipedia

    Search for: Abiogenesis

  7. I don't know because I wasn't there when it began, and probably won't be there when it ends. So yeah it's hella confusing, but then again, who cares?

  8. a  powerful being called god created us all

    we end in heaven (dont ask wat that look like)

    it started by god creating it

  9. Nobody is really certain of the exact date on the calendar, down to the exact day, minute, and date, or exactly how we would build another organism. (We would have done so already if that was the case.)

    But, clues suggest that we probably began about 4.4 billion years ago. Due to a lack of plants, the atmosphere was harsh, lacking oxygen, and the earliest creatures must have been aneorobic. The world was hot, but starting to cool, and it is believed some of the earliest life might have been extremophiles, while others think that life may have been incredibly fragile, requiring specific conditions to form. Or, possibly both.

    Cell membrane-like structures have been formed in labs before, and would have naturally formed. The biggest question right now is how the motor systems formed. The atmospheric conditions would have allowed amino acids to form in the water, so life probably began where it was wet. RNA, a much simpler structure than DNA, is believed to have provided both ribosomes and genes.

    All the technobabble aside, the world when we began for all we know could have been the day after you supposedly posed your question, and all our memories are fakes placed by aliens. Still, that is highly implausible, and by Occam's Razor, it is much simpler to just assume that life and the world began a long time ago, before we could remember things.

  10. Life comes from God! Read the Bible. It explains everything.

  11. Genesis 1 (New International Version)

    New International Version (NIV)

    Genesis 1

    The Beginning

    1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

    2 Now the earth was [a] formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

    3 And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

    6 And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.

    9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground "land," and the gathered waters he called "seas." And God saw that it was good.

    11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds." And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.

    14 And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth." And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.

    20 And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth." 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.

    24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind." And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

    26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [b] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

    27 So God created man in his own image,

           in the image of God he created him;

           male and female he created them.

    28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

    29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food." And it was so.

    31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

    Genesis 2

    1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in their vast array.

    2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.       3 And God made it holy, because on it he rested from all the workof creating he had done. (This is now the Sabbath Day, more commonly known as Sunday.)

    There is no proof or logical expination of science having to deal with creating humans.

    The Bible speaks truth, and I believe it.

    The BIble tells us that humans will not know when the world will end. For some reason, everyone thinks the world will end in 12.12.12

    Seriously.

    There's not any proof of that.

    Everyone will die someday.

    And the only way to go to a wonderful place called heaven is if you get saved.

    A Admit to God that you are a sinner.

    B Believe that Jesus is God's Son.

    C Confess to everyone.

    I know you want to go to heaven. C'mon, it's streets are paved with gold! :)
