Evolution vs Creation

[natepro]

look if theres nothing, then theres a big bang, ect,...nothing just made something, its impossible

Evolution and the big bang are two separate theories. Even if the big bang were false - and I've seen no reason to think it is - it would have no impact on the theory of evolution by natural selection.

how was everything created?

gravity is a law, newtons law of gravity

In science, we collect facts, or observations, we use laws to describe them, and a theory to explain them. You don't promote a theory to a law by proving it. A theory never becomes a law.

i could care less if you beleive that you evolve slowly or whatever, but tell me how did life began, how was all of this made

[Cano4prez]

Actually it isnt, a theory is just a set of assumptions that explains observations.

For instance, gravity is only a theory which explains why why we dont float away from the earth and why the earth doesnt float away from the Sun but the moon stays with us and doesnt float to the Sun.

A theory is as close to proven as anything in science can be.

its called "newtons law of gravity", not a theory

Explains how life began as single celled organisms.

Newton's law is an approximation that works for most calculations, but not all. For example, Newton's couldn't explain why there was a little discrepancy in Mercury's orbit.

The general theory of relativity explained it, and is more precise. But it is not a law.

what made those organisms in the first place

It's also a theory.

pretend there is nothing, not even light or dust,....what happened next?

I dont know, i wasnt there. But i would guess it came from an extremely dense/small collection of hydrogen that when it got hot/dense/etc enough it rapidly expanded and became different elements which when they form create different substances.

True, but technically it isnt. For instance, technically it is a theory that you cant reach your hand through a wall. There is a theoretical possibility that your hand could pass through a wall. The chances are microscopically, microscopically small that you can go through just one molecule, but they are there. So the chances are microscopically, microscopically, microscopically, microscopically, microscopically that you could reach through the tens of millions in order.

I wouldn't want to fall off the side of the Earth now

I thought this thread was about evolution?

point proven

plus hydrogen had to also be made too
