Why does evolution happen?

Question

So, far as i understand, evolution is basicly atoms (such as, nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon) interacting with each other and forming proteins in a low-gravity environment, right? Then these amino acid molecules form DNA chains, then cells.

Ok, my question is,

These cells tend to become complex life forms that are male and female, after a billion years. So what's happening here, is actually protons turning into male and female, walking, talking sexual organisms. Right?

And living beings are more complex than stars or the nebulae right? Because we're stardust and stars are not humandust. Stars are evolving into humans.

In this case, why would protons (insentient beings?) want/need/tend to create living beings? Could we say that atoms are intelligent entities? If not, why would they create life? And literally, once they find an habitable zone around a star, they will create life no matter what. They're like programmed to it. The question is why.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It doesn't because the evidences for Evolution is obtained through an / a philosophical & Ideological bias, One just has to see the answers posted here by Atheist to see that with their lying Evolution Web sites and pseudo-Science they employ.



What is tragic is that many Christians (and I use that word Christian loosely) are succumbing to worldly pressure to adjust their theology to “Make it Fit”

For it is Written “ 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NKJV) For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, [because] they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn [their] ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.



These Christians do not know just HOW That effects Their theology

How a Christian views Creation has a profound effect on that.

How do beliefs about creation impact the rest of theology?

Answer 2

Vicky, your understanding of evolution is so extremely screwed up. I mean no offence, seriously. I just want to inform you that pretty much everything you have said here is false. Evolution is not basically atoms forming proteins in a low gravity environment. The first cells did not start becoming complex life forms that were male and female after a billion years. Stars and nebulae are not evolving into living things. The atoms that make the molecules that make our bodies were originally synthesized by stars by nuclear fusion, but that does not make us star dust any more than coffee being made with water makes coffee just water. I cannot possibly correct your warped understanding of science and evolution here. If you're genuinely interested in understanding evolution and how biology works, then rather than asking questions on Yahoo, you'd do well to go to the library and find a good introductory book on biology or evolution and begin reading.

Answer 3

"So, far as i understand, evolution is basicly atoms (such as, nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon) interacting with each other and forming proteins in a low-gravity environment, right?"

No. Not even close. Go back to biology class, sparky.



"protons turning into male and female, walking, talking sexual organisms. Right? "

Again, you're confusing your physics with your biology. Common mistake for someone who gets his science from a science denying church.



"And living beings are more complex than stars or the nebulae right? Because we're stardust and stars are not humandust. Stars are evolving into humans. "

This makes me wonder what type of drugs you're using right now. No judgment. We're all friends here.



The last paragraph assures me that you're using drugs. This will all be hilarious in the morning, won't it? I can't wait. Please take a picture of your face as you read what you wrote.

The mystery's of faith an GOD are beyond human comprehension

Faith concerns questions which cannot be settled by evidence.





I think it's very sad that if someone does not have faith they would want others to agree with them!



How can the universe create itself out of nothingness? Given the fact that the universe began to exist, it must have had a “cause” that originated it.Doesn't it make more sense to assume the existence of a Creation. The question is tricky because it sneaks in the false assumption that GOD came from somewhere and then asks where that might be. The answer is that the question does not even make sense. It is like asking, “What does blue smell like?” Blue is not in the category of things that have a smell, so the question itself is flawed. In the same way, GOD is not in the category of things that are created or caused. GOD is uncaused and uncreated—He simply exists.

We know that from nothing, nothing comes. So, if there were ever a time when there was absolutely nothing in existence, then nothing would have ever come into existence. But things do exist. Therefore, since there could never have been absolutely nothing, something had to have always been in existence. That ever-existing being is what we call GOD ,GOD is the un-caused Being that caused everything else to come into existence. God is the uncreated Creator who created the universe and everything in it.



The universe requires a cause because it had a beginning, GOD unlike the universe, had no beginning, so he doesn’t need a cause. Einstein’s theory of general relativity, which has much experimental support, shows that time is linked to matter and space. So time itself would have begun along with matter and space. Since GOD is the creator of the whole universe, he is the creator of time. Therefore He is not limited by the time dimension He created..@





Life without GOD is like an un- sharpened pencil it has no point..

You can't see the wind, but you know it is there because you can see what the wind is doing. You can know that the wind is there because you can feel it.GOD is like the wind, you can't see him

Answer 5

Nothing is "programmed" to do anything. Evolution happens because it can. Everything in existence -- including us -- is merely plodding along to the tune of the laws of physics, playing out in the only way possible.



Imagine a series of strainers stacked in a tower-like formation. The uppermost strainers have the largest holes, and each strainer below has slightly smaller holes for material to sleuth through. Now pour a heterogeneous mixture into the top of this tower: what happens? Some material gets caught in the first strainer while the rest slides through. Each layer captures what can't fit through the holes. At the bottom you'll find the smallest bits -- whatever "survived" the full descent. All of the material that was best suited for the descent made it to the bottom.



Life as we know it is the product of this process occurring countless times over billions of years.

Answer 6

1st paragraph- that is not evolution. That's abiogenesis. So far as you understood, you understood it wrong.



2nd paragraph- cells do not "tend to become complex". Random mutations are added to cells and the complex cells just HAPPEN to survive in the environment.



3rd paragraph- just what do you think stardust is?? Literally dust from the stars? I really have to question your mental age here.



4th paragraph- so where did protons come from again. I though we were talking about nitrogen forming amino acids forming proteins. Not of these are just protons. And it happened by chance. The atoms did not tend/need/want to create life.

Answer 7

It may be that the connection the less complex-looking organisms are more advanced than what we as humans now could grasp. Same goes macro-wise, because as some could see it, we are nothing more than fleshbags of nutrients(mostly waste by today's standards) that travel to feed the world and feed from it, which is a body-like system. However, we haven`t been able to connect with those two extremities, at least for a long time.



I tend to mix my spiritual beliefs with my scientific understanding that is gained through reading and whatnot, making it more like a metaphysical system in mind. .3. I also sometimes get more to the addition to my spiritual beliefs, so I now believe that all things hold a spirit, at least on various levels of being/connection.



My guess is more scientific here, when I say that I believe they mend to create more complex entities is because everything is more drawn, connected by love(philosophical) and at that point, singularity can occur.

Answer 8

I think it could be Morphic Evolution. That is a concept in which lifeforms (and all things) undergo changes over time in the greater population. Fields of an organism tend to align with the fields of other organisms in the collective, and that collective is a field, and that field is part of a greater field. And, of course, the organism itself is a series of lesser fields combined to make its field.



The question then becomes: Do fields produce the forces which produce the matter and energy, or do the fields form only after the matter and energy?



Do fields exist prior to the manifestation of this universe and its parts in another... multiverse? Is this universe just a three dimensional projection of what is happening in higher dimensions?

Answer 9

Living organisms adapt to their surroundings to survive. If your environment changes then over time you (meaning you and your descendents) adapt to it. We started wearing clothes and we lost most of our body hair. I can guarantee you 100% if we all start walking around naked, after a few generations, maybe even one or two, we will become more hairy.



You can enact evolution right now. Start lifting weights and your muscles and bones will adapt to the extra stress you put on it and you will grow stronger. You will even develop new "abilities". Men with strong pecs can move their pecs without outside assistance. I don't lift weights so I cannot control my pecs.



Non-living organisms are affected by outside forces, like stone by water and wind, i.e. evolution in all its forms have something driving it. No. I don't mean god. I mean adaptation.

Answer 10

This is a very complex question and should be in the biology section. From my very basic understanding of evolution and physics no atoms are not intelligent.

Answer 11

I think you may be a little confused friend. The earth is made from elements found in the sun, and we come from elements found on earth. There was no intelligence behind it, no more than there is intelligence behind a lightning strike, it just happened, a random event, nothing more, nothing less.

Answer 12

There's no reason why. It's just a process that naturally occurs. Hopefully you learned how evolution works if you went to school.

Answer 13

well most of it i cant make sense of , but the first paragraph your wrong .. dna has never been shown to spontaneously form much less form with any sort of usable code and thats one of the problems with evolutionary theory .. another problem is no mutation has ever been shown to create new or more code .. it only rearranges or damages existing code ..

Answer 14

Genetic mutations

http://necsi.edu/projects/evolution/evolution/5parts/evolution_5parts.html ''How Does Evolution Occur? Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection has been divided into five parts to explain clearly how evolution happens in nature''. http://animals.about.com/od/e/g/evolution.htm ''Definition: Evolution is change over time. Under this broad definition, evolution can refer to a variety of changes that occur over time—the uplifting of mountains, the erosion of riverbeds, or the creation of new species. Biological evolution is a more specific type of evolution. Biological evolution refers to the changes over time that occur in living organisms. Biological evolution is defined as descent with modification. Biological evolution occurs at different scales. These include small-scale evolution & broad-scale evolution. Small-scale evolution, also referred to as microevolution, is the change in gene frequencies within a population of organisms changes from one generation to the next. Broad-scale evolution, also referred to as macroevolution, refers to evolution at a grander scale. It focuses on the progression of species or entire clades from a common ancestor to descendent clades over the course of numerous generations.''

http://education.jlab.org/qa/atom.html ''Atoms are the basic building blocks of ordinary matter. Atoms can join together to form molecules, which in turn form most of the objects around you. Atoms are composed of particles called protons, electrons, neutrons. Protons carry a positive electrical charge, electrons carry a negative electrical charge and neutrons carry no electrical charge at all. Protons & neutrons cluster together in the central part of the atom, called the nucleus, and the electrons 'orbit' the nucleus. A particular atom will have the same number of protons & electrons & most atoms have at least as many neutrons as protons.Protons & neutrons are both composed of other particles called quarks and gluons. Protons contain two 'up' quarks and one 'down' quark while neutrons contain one 'up' quark and two 'down' quarks. Gluons are responsible for binding the quarks to one another.'' http://www.livescience.com/37206-atom-definition.html ''Atoms are the basic units of matter and the defining structure of elements. Atoms are made up of three particles: protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons are heavier than electrons and reside in the center of the atom, which is called the nucleus. Electrons are extremely lightweight and exist in a cloud orbiting the nucleus. The electron cloud has a radius 10,000 times greater than the nucleus. Protons and neutrons have approximately the same mass. However, one proton weighs more than 1,800 electrons. Atoms always have an equal number of protons and electrons, and the number of protons and neutrons is usually the same as well. Adding a proton to an atom makes a new element, while adding a neutron makes an isotope, or heavier version, of that atom.'' http://chemistry.about.com/od/atomicstructure/f/What-Is-An-Atom.htm ''Building blocks of matter are called atoms.An atom is the basic unit of an element. An atom is a form of matter which may not be further broken down using any chemical means. A typical atom consists of protons, neutrons, electrons. Examples of Atoms-Any element listed on the periodic table consists of atoms. Hydrogen, helium, oxygen, uranium are examples of types of atoms. What Are Not Atoms? Some matter is either smaller or larger than an atom. Examples of chemical species that are not typically considered atoms includes particles that are components of atoms: protons, neutrons and electrons. Molecules & compounds consists of atoms but are not themselves atoms. Examples of molecules & compounds include salt (NaCl), water (H2O) and ethanol (CH2OH). Electrically charged atoms are called ions. They are still types of atoms. Monoatomic ions include H+ and O2-. There are also molecular ions, which are not atoms (e.g., ozone, O3-). Gray Area- Would you consider a single unit of hydrogen to be an example of an atom? most hydrogen "atoms" do not have a proton, neutron and electron. Given that the number of protons determines the identity of an element, many scientists consider a single proton to be an atom of the element hydrogen. http://www.qrg.northwestern.edu/projects/vss/docs/propulsion/1-what-is-an-atom.html ''What is an atom?
