i'm a huge supporter of evolution. as far as i'm concerned, it's a fact. people that think it's a fact right now are ahead of their time.
although i do believe in the evolution process, i still don't understand how the very first living things on earth came to be. i have 2 ideas:
-the basic building blocks of life came to earth from somewhere else in the universe (which came from?).
-as a human, my scale/scope is not at first glance set up for me to understand early evolution easily. maybe the first life forms on earth were so basic, i can not even comprehend them without a lot of thought.
as a human, what i consider to be life is probably very far down the tree from the initial forms of life that started on earth. <---- this is my best guess.
i'm going to reword my second explanation again....
the first steps in the evolution process were probably so basic, we do not consider it to be life as we know it. however, as it progresses, it does start to resemble life as we know it. so what i'm saying is...... if life on earth started at 0, we probably start to recognize it as life around step 10000, although it really did start many steps before we recognize it.
humans tend to think of living things as, what was the first creature with an eyeball or something. but really, the eyeball was a great evolution advancement. evolution was taking place way before eyeballs were around. we just don't recognize it easily because we don't think of living things as things without eyes, etc.
LongShot,
i know we both accept evolution, but what is your best guess at how the first "life" on earth came to be?
