How do you think the world started?

he saved the good till last

The Earth is the most ****** up thing in the Universe!

If god created the world, then anything is possible..

[DrLacero]

Neither.

The Big Bang occurred ~8 billion years before the Earth was created.

But how did animals first start? No one knows really.

Evolution.

No, Abiogenesis. Evolution explains the diversity of life, it does not (nor does it try to) explain the origin of life.

I personaly think God triggered the big bang.. However both are just theories neither God or the Big Bang have been 100% proven.

A theory, in scientific terms, explains all known evidence. Religion therefore, is not a theory. Religion in fact doesn't qualify as a hypothesis either, as a hypothesis must be falsifiable.

I believe God created the world. The big bang is an intresting theory but if there was nothing to begin with then how did something get created? You cant make something out of nothing. There has to be something which created the big bang.

We're talking about animals here, not molecules and microbes. Animals are a result of evolution.

The bigger question is...

How do you think the universe was created, Seeing as nobody know whats outside the universe (if anything) Osmosis jones could be the truth imo, Think about it, we could be living organisms inside a bloodcell and the bloodcell is earth, and everything in the universe is bloodcells and so on e.g. Planets red, Stars White and Asteroids Virus's

May sound a bit farfetched but heck its a good idea

is the impossibility of everything being everywhere and everything been all the time hard to understand.

probaly a bad person to quote but i only read until osmosis jones. above probaly would be more suited to [jays] post.

I've always had that idea in my head that we could be atoms and **** and the universe is a person, but the solar system does act like atoms, revolving around a nucleus with electrons circling it, + suns are burning only 2 chemicals, and as far as we know nucleus only have 2 different things in them (neutron and proton)

If you can't make something out of nothing, why would you claim that a god created the world?

I fail to see what you're arguing here, evolution explains the origin of complex organisms from simpler ones, but it doesn't explain the origin of the most simple cells which I believe are RNA molecules which attracted lipids to form a micelle membrane, that's where Abiogenesis comes in. There's lots of great videos on the subject, check out potholer54 on youtube.

Once again, we're not talking about cells or molecules, we're talking about animals. Meree asked how they first came about and I wasn't wrong in saying evolution. Animals, like all living things, evolved from bacteria. Now, if Meree asked where bacteria came from, then you could direct her to abiogenesis.

big bang. because theres so much evidence of it. yet not a single picture of a man healing someone or anything to do with what "jesus" did
