As pointed out in the following post, what are the implications of each of these possible origins with regard to the theory of evolution, that is, the change since origin?
From a post by Dimensio:
I submit five hypothesis regarding the origin of the first life forms.From a post by Dimensio here.
a) Natural processes occuring entirely upon earth resulted in chains of self-replicating molecular strands that eventually became the first life forms.
b) Aliens from another planet and/or dimension travelled to this planet and -- deliberately or accidentally -- seeded the planet with the first life forms.
c) In the future, humans will develop a means to travel back in time. They will use this technology to plant the first life forms in Earth's past, making the existence of life a causality loop.
d) A divine agent of unspecified nature zap-poofed the first life forms into existence.
e) Any method other than the four described above led to the existence of the first life forms.
In each case, evolution could proceed just fine. Your argument in the previous post is thus false.
BTW, I haven't been arguing about the change since origin... I'm talking about the origin itself. These hypotheses are silly.
a) Natural processes occuring entirely upon earth resulted in chains of self-replicating molecular strands that eventually became the first life forms.
It takes a lot of faith to believe this came about by its own fiat.
b) Aliens from another planet and/or dimension travelled to this planet and -- deliberately or accidentally -- seeded the planet with the first life forms.
So where did they come from? There has to be a beginning somewhere. Oh yeah... BANG!
c) In the future, humans will develop a means to travel back in time. They will use this technology to plant the first life forms in Earth's past, making the existence of life a causality loop.
Sorry. This displays a surface-only thinking process. Before man can get far enough to seed his own race, he had to have his own origins. It's a nice sci-fi canard, though.
d) A divine agent of unspecified nature zap-poofed the first life forms into existence.
Did I happen to mention that this divine agent nurtured a family of people, to a race of people, to a nation of people, to the world to reveal Himself? Historians record how He rescued His chosen people from bondage in Egypt and then chastised them repeatedly for their unfaithfulness. Centuries before He Himself came into the world, He told us what would be and it was all fulfilled to the letter. The people of his day were convinced by the miracles He performed to prove His identity. Just because you don't know Him doesn't mean He didn't do all He said He did.
e) Any method other than the four described above led to the existence of the first life forms.
Right. Like the one in the link above that scientists would have us believe.
Your argument in the previous post is thus false.
It must be so if you say so!
