  1. These musings have been sent to the New Scientist magazine, as well as, a number of eminent scientists over the past year. To date I have received no responses. I was hoping that some one on this forum may feel able to discuss and contribute to this. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** For the last thirty years I have woken up at night wondering how life began. why this should happen I don’t know. As a layman I do not have the knowledge or information afforded to yourselves, and unable to go any further than my thoughts. If you could give me some answers I would be most grateful. THE BIG BANG THEORY ------------------------------ We are told an explosion in space released chemicals that fell to Earth and completed its journey in a deep-sea hypothermal vent. Some scientists say these chemicals formed a soup from which one-cell creatures came into being. Such an explosion would spread residue from one end of the Earth to the other. This for me is a problem, falling from different heights weighing various amounts into a tidal salty sea ending up together, undiluted and uncontaminated. The odds this coming together must be astronomical, in my humble opinion can Only be accepted if you believe in miracles. This hypothesis goes further these one-cell creatures came on land and were responsible for all life. It is hard to believe those one- cell creatures were so diverse they eventually changed into millions of different species. Another aspect to consider, this life created by chemicals cannot be copied in clinical laborites. What abilities would a one –cell creature have? compared with a common fly that is multi-cell creature. Lord Kelvin [William Thomson} Said: “ I confess to being deeply impressed by the evidence put before us by professor Huxley, and I am ready to adopt, as an article of scientific faith, true through all Space and through all time, that life proceeds from life, and from nothing but life.” Two such redoubtable minds of their time almost unsurpassed in achievement say, indirectly, the big bang is not possible. ANIMALS, PLANTS AND MAN --------------------------------------- Webster dictionary puts vascular plants, such as ferns, began life 390 million years ago; Insects, reptiles plus amphibians 230 million years ago, flowering plants 160 million years ago and birds 100 million hundred years ago life of man estimated to have begun 70 million years ago. Plants are very interesting since it could be argued they were the first life. How did plants get to Earth? The only theory I have heard is that meteorites from another world crashed on this Planet-exposing seeds trapped inside. To travel millions of light years with the harmful rays in the cosmos and the longevity of the journey make this theory unlikely. Ferns and flowering plants were separated by two hundred million years so it would have to have happened twice If however this feat was managed it evokes another thought, whatever time it took to reach Earth, for instance, a million light years, where it came from would have been at least that amount of time ahead of life on Earth. Darwin wrote his famous theory on evolution, but evidence shows us it might be true, or might not. If you can imagine millions of one-cell creatures emerging from the sea, subject to the same environment changed into billions of different species. Taking this a step further, there would have been thousands of these creatures that chose exactly the same place to live and became so different as an Elephant is to a Ant. Man gave many other species millions of years start in their Evolution and achieved wonders. They built cities, wrote music, great works of art and most of all complicated languages to communicate. Other species, in millions of years, have achieved nothing in comparison. We tend to be amazed when an animal uses a stick or a stone as a tool, we are dumbfounded when animals are taught to do complicated tricks, it took them millions of years to reach this state. If it is accepted that man came from apes, then why do these ape still exist? In 70 millions years they should have all have changed. If the same species of ape lives today all it says is that environment may or may not change appearances. In billions of different species it is most likely that many will have related features. One can surmise man was never an ape but ape like. He would have been hairy to protect him from the climate but as time elapsed things would change. Wearing animal skins for protection, discovering fire to keep warm, and living in caves all of these elements over time would eliminate the need for hair. This cannot be claimed as environmental change, this is progress. GOD AND RELIGION --------------------------- If you can believe in God then nothing is impossible. To accept the abilities attached to such a being creating life would be a simple task. One might ask one self,” how can there be a God when so many evil people are allowed to prey on the innocent unhindered? Why are people starving ? Including children that could hardly be classed as sinners”. These thoughts are further mudded by religion. Often people are told ”IT IS THE WILL OF GOD” you must not question. A more intelligent thought might be why is it God’s will? If man never questioned he would still be living in caves, wearing animal skins and using flints to make fires. The bible is so contradictory almost impossible to take seriously. Tells of life beginning with Adam and Eve, does this mean sexual interaction between brothers sisters, mothers and fathers? We know that medically this is unsound and hardly likely to produce a healthy race, which by survival to modern times it must have been. The bible then condemns such sexual interaction between direct families as a terrible sin and should not be tolerated. How do intellectual Scientists who are also devout Christians gather their thoughts? The bible says life began with Adam and Eve yet fossils gathered prove life began millions of years before. There are so many contradictions in religion too numerous to comment on, except one, if you truly believe in God religious leaders were meant to help people and not rule them and certainly not to live in luxury while millions starve.
