Again, brother, evolution has absolutely nothing to say about how the first cell occured. It only talks about what happened after the first cell occured.

The branch of biology dealing with the problem of the first cell is abiogenesis, bro.


Read what you wrote again and see the evolutionary dilemma.

If evolution cannot account for how the first cell occured then where is the basis of evolution since the same evolution says we all came from a single celled organism?

For your answer to this question I need to grab some popcorn and Pepsi

Do salt crystals change on their own? Does iceblock melt on its own? If the answer is no and we all came from one single celled ancestor WHAT TRIGGERED THE FIRST EVOLUTION OR CHANGE especially since no scientist know anything about the environmental conditions or atmospheric conditions millions of years ago and have always only assumed?

Yes, salt crystals do not melt on their own but they do IN RESPONSE TO THE CHANGES TO THEIR ENVIRONMENT.

It's the same with DNA. Afterall, it's still a molecule.

Geologists have studied the history of the earth coupled with astro-physicsits exploits into different planets and drew up a possible simulation and scenario of how the earth looked like.

That's how evolutionary biologists can draw up possible scenarios and go look for possible evidences.

Correction. Not possible scenarios. Probable scenarios. Continue with your story I am drinking pepsi and chewing on popcorn while I read because this will be some awesom scifi stuff.

Ok, let's branch a bit.

Physicists accept the big-bang theory as responsible for the existence of the universe- and have found evidence supporting that theory. However, when asked "what caused the big-bang", you tend to hear a lot of "err....." and assumptions.

Right now, the currently leading assumption is string theory and multiverse theorem but yet, there's still no conclusive proof.


It's exactly the same quandary physcisits find themselves in that biologists find themselves in.


They can say with fairy reasonable certainity as to what happened after the first cell evolved?; but what happened before, you get "err......."


The leading theory is abiogenesis but they're a lot of wild theories; like parspenia, Extraterrestials and the like.



And, abeg, you fit pass gala here grin

You just nailed it, bro.
A bottle of odeku for you!! That's what we are saying.
If Evolutionist couldn't account for the genesis of the first cell, how could assumption( which hasn't even been proved right) about how the Tracing of all organisms emerged from that first cell, they knew little about?
Does that make sense?

So if all you wrote above refutes evolutionary origins why then are you arguing in support of evolution when you have proof that its all erm erm erm ...a mystery still?

Similarity isnt an exact representation. I asked for LIVING PROOF of the same organism with a DNA match and not similarities. Is there any?
It's not hundred percent. The difference is what constitutes the change in the organism

@naijadeyhia please help me paraphrase and proper this question to the atheists.
1. If humans, monkeys, apes, orangs etc come from a common ancestor, how can it be possible that despite that ancestor living in the same environment, feeding on the same meal and generally having similar ways of life, the ancestor has different types of descendants. I mean, an ape or chimp should not have been satisfied at its state and should have further evolved to humans.
Please help me rephrase this question and ask on my behalf.
Modified: how did scientists come about the age of the earth and those fossils....or rather the sedimentary rocks that housed the fossils.

Really? Yet those of you who have known it for years cannot offer me proof or convincingly counter my points?

If truly I am a first timer and can take you old timers on and whip your behinds then that says a lot of the theory of evolution doesn't it?

Thanks for the correction.
Nice answer, though.
But, don't you think, the source of a fact should be well grounded, before its branches or the other way round?

My point!
Evolution central idea comes from the single cell.
Now if the source isn't grounded properly, is it safe to rely on that theory

Exactly! So if DNA in the fossil was once responsible for that living creature that became fossilised and yet unknown because they had not seen a living kind of that fossil, where then did the DNA comparison in perfection come from?

The summary is that science has no comparative analysis in perfection to evolution so is all based on assumptions and probable theories.

That's because evolution never presumes that it knew the origin of the first cell.......

A physicists does not know what caused the big bang; yet he can still tell you, with reasonable certainity, how the universe "evolved" to what it is today.



A grammarian does no know what the first language was, yet he can still tell you how english ebolved.



A mathematican cannot tell you where numbers came from; but still uses it to perform operations.



Nigeria cannot tell you how the first Political party in the world was formed; yet shout APC/PDP. grin

Yet evolution is supposed to explain language, intelligence and consciousness right? Same evolution that cannot trace its source?

Its not true.. The facts are obvious!!
The fact that you can put grammars together, speak confusingly and not convincingly doesn't mean you are speaking the truth or you are honest.

Am interested in evolution,( am not saying I just want to start learning about it, I want to believe) but before I venture in it, is it reasonable not to know the basics that formed it?
You are the uniformed, here... You only lay claims to theories that has been proven wrong.
Even SirWere was kinda honest than you are.

@Naijaheydia,

For 2 million Naira!!! The GULO gene(and please, don't tell me that you don't know what the GULO gene is), is the reason why humans squeeze lemon on top of fish in all those fancy restaurants!!! The GULO gene is what is supposed to assist we primates in synthesizing Vitamin C, but due to the fact that it is no longer functioning, we humans and apes, must get it from outside sources!!! HOW COME, THE GULO GENE IN BOTH APES AND HUMANS IS BROKEN IN THE EXACT SAME PLACES?!!!
