Here is a rough depiction of evolution.



- The video is wrong.

Lightening strike, magic happens. Heres where I'm struggling. That accounts for one life form.

- No, many may be created or none. Most aren’t life but instead complex molecules like viruses. Actually less than virus.

How do you account for all the varients of life and trees and plants?

- That’s the whole thing about evolution, you give a creature a drier climate it adapts or it dies. Give one species that can reproduce at a high rate enough time and some will survive in almost any climate. You have to look at the whole planet and the changes going on, like mountain formation, erosion, and ice ages.

Were they all created by individual lightening strikes to create their own variation of what evolution leads them to become in something like present day?

- No, this is not evolution. Evolution is not (pouph) magic. The lightning strike may create several different viable forms of reproducible proteins. Those evolve into more complex proteins and after a very long time some change into life as we know it.

What was different about all these lightening strikes to create the variations we see now in forms of life?

- This is not evolution. It’s absurd.

What about the water?

- Water is good. -? Life on earth requires water, on other planets there may be life from silicon or methane.

Where did that come from?

- Water came from comets and early atmosphere creation.

Am I to believe earth was bombarded with ice meteors or something to that effect?

- No you don’t have to believe anything at all, but the earth is covered in craters and is covered in water. Look up solar system creation to help.

That's quite a strike given the volume of water?

- No lots of little strikes filled the oceans.

The lightening strikes that caused life to form and the ice meteors - how come we dont see this phenomenon occur now?

- We do. Mostly they are undersea or in hot springs around volcanoes. Also, the simpler forms of life are already here, so if a lightning bolt hits a warm sea full of minerals it creates life that already exists.

Birth, healing, every resource to sustain each life form, carefully working in balance. So we were created by aliens?

- No evidence of alien interaction.

Who created them?

- No evidence of aliens.

How did there fluke of evolution occur?

- Evolution is not a fluke, it was inevitable.

Same lightening strike as earth?

- Yes it can happen on other planets in other places at other times.

This fluke phenomenon seems wide spread if it created life else where?

- Yes, the universe is rather large.

Doesnt seem such a fluke if its wide spread on other planets?

- We don’t know if it is widespread on other planets. There are an abundance of organic molecules on other planets which points towards life of some kind.

What am I missing. Do we take for granted what we see and not realise the marvel that is in front of us? Life.

- Life is a marvel whether you believe in evolution, Christian creation, or any of the other thousand creation myths.

If you put earth life outside the atmosphere most of it will die. Some life forms may stay viable for very long time and may ‘pollute’ nearby planets with life.

The opposite is true as well.

It’s late … sleepy …
