I did not know that, thanks
The Noah story is being looked at more and more here lately. Some are saying that the flood was not world wide, but very isolated.They said that having two of every kind of animal was impossible. Then they found that the real story was not to have two of every animal but only selected animals. Clean animals, unclean animals, so many foul, etc. They got this information from another book or scroll that was just found. It is very ineresting how things change as "new" documents are found. I believe they said that the story of Noah was told by almost every religion. There were some differences in the stories but they all referenced a flood and an arch with animals as cargo.
...but it is impossible to ever explain it all.
BD: The primordial ooze thing is the evolution of the first bacterium, not the earth.
Didnt you ever wonder what happened to the Unicorns?
There is evidence of life before that, but it was mostly algae and bateria.The explanation for this is that when the atmosphere was first formed...while all this primordial ooze was going on, it was primarily made up of carbon-dioxide. Therefore the first organisms were those that converted or "breathed" CO2. They were around for tens of millions of years taking in carbon dioxide and converting in into a little by-product called oxygen. After a while, there was enough oxygen in the atmosphere, and enough O3 (ozone) to cool the planet a few degrees and provide for an environment that could support oxygen "breathing" organisms. Oxygen breathing organisms tend to be large, more sophisticated creatures and this is what brought on the Cambrian Explosion (primarly). There are other theories about genetic evolution during this period creating the proper road-map for larger organisms. The explosion actually lasted about 30 million years and it was during this time that the larger animals that began the lineage to todays oxygen breath ing species developed.
I just have a hard time seeing how a complex being (animal) could come from essentially bacteria. We are so complex, that it would take more than a genetic "accident" to make a man, dog, elephant, whatever
Wouldn't so much call it an accident...the first beings were single cell, simple, had very few "components." To deal with certain environmental stimuly, they formed mitochondrial, scilia, etc etc. Then it became beneficial for more than one cell to group together, thus multicellular beings. These would evolve into colonies that would work together to achieve an instinctual common goal. Later on instead of existing as groups of identical cells, it became more efficient for some cells in the group to perform one function, while others performed a different function as they shared their singular benefits with the group. Isn't too hard to imagine where it goes from there...the cells become more and more specialized and are able to support a larger number of cells within the organism. There form groups within the whole that function as organs...etc, etc, etc. 600 million years later, here we are. 8)
How would they have an instinctual common goal? How can an organism go from no brainwave function at all, to having brainwave function? especially since when brain cells die, they do not regenerate. Once dead they are gone. So how does a non existent thing (brainfunction) come into being, when once it dies, it cannot regenerate?
It seems that when it comes to life, brainwaves, etc. everyone has this mythical, magical view of how it works. We are really just complicated car engines. Break it down into the beautifully simple physical interactions that can be described by high school physics and biology, and it isn't that hard to understand how we came to be.Whether God created the universe, multiverse, yada yada, can be debated all day, but I don't have a single issue being confident in the belief the all life on earth has one, common, single celled ancestor.
The brain is just another organ. When the groups of organs in an organism get complexe enough, they require coordination, this the formation of another organ to provide this coordination. What is a good way for cells to communicate??? They exchange matter...receptors, inhibitors, etc, but a faster, more efficient way is through electricity. Wouldn't you know that being some 60% water, or whatever it is, organisms are phenomenal conductors of electricity.
You can generate brain cells out of stem cells.
