Well, I guess I'm wierd then. I really haven't a clue as to where life came from. God may certianly have zapped it into place. Or perhaps He took a longer route like He did with Evolutionary species development.
The bottom line there is no real evidence to say where life came from, but there is plenty of evidence of Evolution.
Since I think God's creation is as important to study as God's Word. And since pictures, (and fossils, and DNA, and experiments) tell far more than words, I think that some people's translation of Genesis is just not correct.
I don't think there is a conflict between God's Creation and God's Word. I just think that some mortal humans don't read the words right.
