The water came from when the earth was made a couple of billion years ago...

I recommend you get the doco, wild europe...Europe was frozen, the meditterenean was empty with rivers and forrests...not once but many times...all the continents were stuck together as a one large land mass, and split up many times...Africa as we speak is on a north bound move...It will join europe in under a million years...The reason Europe defrosted is because Nth America and Sth America joined, forcing warm currents to come to europe...Then Europe defrosted and filled the mediterenean...

Get the doco from BBC...


boomers you speak as though i`m stupid, do you think i havnt read the books and watched the telly?

i am not disputing any of this last post you made what i am asking is how was the earth made? and then how was the sea put there and then how did this single cell organism find itself in the sea?

All Life on Earth (plants included), consists of the same Genetic substance DNA (a few viruses have a related molecule RNA).

If you sequence enough of the DNA of any living species on Earth, and also all the DNA that we can find in fossils, then compare them for sequence similarities, you build up a "tree" or dendrogram which shows you exactly how each species is related to the other, and which ones have older ancestors, and when they arose in time.

There are no real "missing links" just a flow of relatedness . . . but of course not every species that has ever lived will be represented.

But it is a foolproof theory to date, because as we discover more and more fossils, we find they all fit in perfectly as predicted.

You can even reproduce "Evolution" and see how survival of the fittest by natural selection works by doing experiments in the test-tube with bacteria and introducing an antibiotic that they are sensitive to. Pretty soon you evolve a mutant which is resistant and then after time it is the predominant variant.

That is the power and beauty of science over religion. 8)

so does the dna of all these different species contain the same chromosomes? because what you just said is a very very broad generalisation its like me saying for example that the dna or life source of a car engine is its oil, so because "oil" is present in the engine of a skoda and the engine of a mercedes does that then mean that the mercedes engine is related to the skoda engine? people are nowadays found guilty of their crimes by the tiniest molecules of dna sometimes microscopic, so if every single human being has different dna how can you tell me that every living thing that has ever lived on earth has "common" dna?

and if there are no missing links as you say then why do the best scientists, even those who created the various theorys call things "missing links" perhaps darwin needed you back then phoenix cos you seem to know more about his theory than even he knew :lol:

when you can even begin to comprehend the answers to the questions i`m asking then go back and answer the ones i asked a few posts back, until then dont even bother to come back to me as i reckon you could spend your time more wisely than trying to answer questions that have no answer in science :!:

DNA is what makes up chromosomes, it is their building-block. Smaller molecules make up the DNA. It is the sequence of these that is both unique and conserved. Short segments of DNA make up genes. They control who you are and how you develop. There are so few differences between individuals and that is why we have different coloured eyes etc. But we are still related as Humans despite these few differences which make us unique.

DNA fingerprinting exploits sites in the DNA which can be recognised by different "cutting" proteins and that is how you get an individual profile.

"Missing link" is popular science and has no scientific merit.

If you are still asking about where the first cell came from . . . well you can cause the synthesis of DNA in a test tube and mimic pre-biotic life. With the naturally occurring chemicals found throughout the universe you can make the precursors to DNA, then the membrane surrounding it.

The most beautiful thing of all is that DNA can replicate itself. So from the first cell, you get many more and so on.

As for the beginnings of the Universe, well I am not a physicist, but I do know they have enough information already that there is an ongoing project which will create a mini-universe in a test-tube. That should answer that hole in time.

Do not worry . . . not in our lifetime, but at the rate we are going, we do have the capacity to fill all the holes.

God is superfluous. Otherwise who created God? (The Human Mind 8) )

raj the bible is still correct in its original content, we know this to be true cos it has been compared to many original manuscripts a good example would be the dead sea scrolls at the london museum which have been carbon dated by scientists to make sure they are not a hoax! now some charlatans tried to remove gods name from the bible and replace it with the title of god or "lord" but do you not think that despite all the crusades etc in the middle ages when people would be burned at the stake just for being caught owning a bible that this book remains is some kind of coincidence? or could it be cos it is inspired of the 1 true god and like he said he would not allow his word to be lost, along with all the prophesies in the bible that he has provided , things which have and continue to come true even today lead me to deduce that this book cannot be too far from the original

the list you have provided there is quite a long list tbh, and i dont profess to know everything about the bible but i will tell you what there is an awfull lot in the bible which i wasnt expecting to find, and i dont know if all on your list but certainly most of those things are covered! pretty clever for a book written over 2000 years ago i think most sane people would agree

If the Quran cannot prevent people behaving this way, then Science might be able to educate them to accept how similar we all are.
