  1. The library has numerous introductory, simple books on evolution.


  2. another point of singularity.......tom

  3. The two topics are unrelated. Microbes are biological. They are single-celled living organisms typically divided into bacteria, archaea, fungi, and protists. They are the oldest living things on Earth.

    So I must assume that your question really is "How did life forms evolve from the original atoms created in the Big Bang?"

    The Big Bang originally held four elements: Hydrogen, helium, traces of lithium and smaller traces of deuterium and possibly beryllium. If you study chemistry, you find that these elements do not just float around. They interact in a process called nucleosynthesis.

    Gravitational attraction following the Big Bang caused the formation of the first stars. The process of a star fusing hydrogen to helium produces heavier elements. This is one process of nucleosynthesis. It is sometimes referred to as nucleogenesis.

    Another process of producing heavier elements occurs in the explosion of a stellar supernova.

    Cosmis rays can produce different (usually lighter) elements by interacting with the protons in the interstellar medium.

    So we end up with the original stars creating heavier elements and dying. The next generation of stars takes those heavy elements and via nucleosynthesis creates even heavier elements. Now, the elements exist that allow for the creation of life forms.

    How are microbes created from atoms? The process is called abiogenesis. It has been proven in laboratory tests that organic material can form from inorganic materials. All you need is the right combination. And that combination existed on the early Earth. Water, carbon, methane, ammonia, phosphate and sulfur or hydrogen sulfide. The interaction of these chemicals forms amino acids (the building blocks of life). These amino acids naturally tend to combine to form a variety of proteins or polypeptides. This is all that is needed to form a microbe. The microbe can then live and reproduce via photosynthesis (using the Sun to process food and energy). Feeding on minerals such as sulfur.

    The process leads to the production of RNA. Thus the ability for more advanced multi-cellular life forms.

    It may sound impossible or incredulous at first. But the entire process is allowed simply by the way that atoms and elements react with each other. It is certainly spectacular. But it is not mysterious. It is just another amazing process of Nature.

  4. The "Big Bang" was not an 'explosion'...

    Microbes were the result of random interactions between organic molecules formed by electrical energy & gases.

  5. From a point of infinity that imploded.

  6. Microbes come from chemicals that formed from matter that ultimately was created by the release of energy in the Big Bang.

    Now my question: what the h**l do microbiology and cosmology have to do with one another, aside from the unbelievably tenuous connection that microbes are, and the young universe was, small?

  7. ii am not sure but i think you are asking a biology quantum mechanics question and that may be a logical conclusion, but consider this , what is the largest negative number people could write and what is the largest positve number people could write. it might be possible for generation after generation to keep adding in both directions. maybe theoretically anything is possible but not profitable.

  8. I solve all my problems by putting my friends in blocks of cement

    I think you should to

  9. microbes came way after...

    the big bang started, energy cooled to form matter, matter formed stars with accretion disks which later formed planets, some planets later formed life.
