Explain Evolution - May 2nd, 2012, 02:39 PM

Our brain is made up of individual cells individually incapable of thought but collectively thought happens / in the same way many life forms and inventions cannot function if they are dissected into smaller pieces – so what is life in its smallest form and exactly how did it evolve into us?

I tend to believe in devolution.. not evolution.

You can call that adaptation to ones environment or whatever, but I don't see the human species improving at all.. as a matter of fact, I see our species becoming less adaptable and more dependent on medicine and technology with each successive generation.

We are just one super bug away from extinction.

That's a long story, with many of the pieces missing.

The answer is evolving too. Go back and read Darwin then scientists about 25 years ago, and then scientists today.
I think its revealing - like a hypothesis still being fervently tested w/o conclusive results.





A brief overview of Arminian/Calvinist distinctions

Now to Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, forever. Amen. -Ephesians 3:20 & 21

1Co 13:11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. But when I became an adult, I set aside childish ways. - Let's at least work at it?
*************************************

Separation of church and State is not atheism "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights..."

Clouds don't really self-replicate, and they don't really have much of a pattern. Though I admit, it's a pretty liberal definition. But I think it's appropriate for the fundamental purpose of the question.

The real definition of life - everything descended from those things created by God including and after the plants.

Most of ours are. Yours, however, is made up of wood shavings.

This requires a book length answer. A proper answer can't be posted in a few words.
Buy a good biology text book and read it. After that ask what questions you still have and we will try to answer them. We are not responsible for your basic education.
