How do you explain how we evolved from the periodic table?

Question

Our world started with atoms. at some point these linked together to create living things.
so if this was a natural thing, how come scientist can not create a replicating cell with chromosomes.
Note: not talking about taking an already live cells, just the atomic elements.

Answer 1

You do know that the periodic table is a very basic understanding of the elements.

The problem here isn't that we can't , we just don't know how yet.

We've only barely crawled out of our shells.

What you're dissing there is our most recent step towards what you propose

Answer 2

J. Craig Venter DID create a self-replicating cell completely from scratch- base pair by base pair. It's quite a phenomenal achievement, and really puts the smackdown on the already pathetic claims of creationists.



Besides, the Miller experiments in 1957 showed the abiogenesis is certainly possible.

EDIT- You don't understand the whole term "living", do you? Organic compound does NOT EQUAL ALIVE or "living". The project I listed in no way used a living cell. Like I said, the DNA was programmed base pair by base pair- meaning one amino acid at a time. Amino acids are not in fact alive. Clearly your knowledge of science is lacking. We have now as a species synthesized life from non-living components, whether you understand the procedure or not. Check and mate, kid.

Answer 3

It happened. Take it on faith.



Edit: DNA is information; instructions on how to make proteins. DNA is not alive. To insert man made instructions on how to make proteins into a cell is not artificially creating life. It would be like saying because we can write a computer program for a computer, we know that the computer came about naturally(i know this analogy has limits). If amino acids formed RNA and that in turn somehow made the first replicating cell, why is it impossible to verify with experiments and observation? Does it really take millions upon millions of years to occur under conditions which are unknown and therefore not reproducible? If so, then that is called PSEUDOSCIENCE. It's been masquerading as fact for far too long.

Answer 4

Takes more than faith, more like science of the "unknown" when it becomes "known" and we all yell "eureka"! Perhaps the He/She Creator, out of the Light of Pure Energy--created the void that mixed all the "colors" into the "black" hole we always thought was empty --- only to discover it has been filled with every wavelength of color from all the atoms, nanos, etc. into the gravity that propelled the various universes, parallel universes & galaxies to trillion of light years we are still hoping to find the link we need to complete the color wheel of creation we came out of.

Answer 5

The origin of life took place over millions of years. Scientists have been around only a few.

Answer 6

We've been there and we've done that. You need to keep up with the news. No, it doesn't involve atomic elements.

Answer 7

Why not try asking these questions in the biology section? Because you know those people would eat you alive and your question.

Answer 8

well millions of dollars have gone into the smoke and lights that are suggested to explain that. However, it is all crap. If you went to the biology section they would just give you more smoke and lights but oddly enough, no evidence. they would have to eat you alive because that is the only way they could stop you from pointing out the obvious flaws of their assertions.

Answer 9

If you want to learn about evolution, then you ned to start asking the right questions. This question is the wrong question.
