so they’re going with Aliens created life on Earth


I used to hear this one, a lot. The counter argument is “Fine, where did the alien come from?”

I find the easiest way to end arguments over the existence of a higher power (of which evolution is a subtopic) is to simply remove life, species, etc from the equation.

Where did carbon come from? Who created it?

Thanks for playing. Next!

Carbon Creation

One day, after millions of years, the hydrogen fuel in a stellar core will get exhausted, by its conversion into helium. Then, the star, which has till then maintained a hydrostatic equilibrium, by balancing thermal pressure generated through fusion, against the crunch of gravity, gives in again to gravitational collapse. 

The core starts heating up again until it reaches a temperature, where three helium nuclei start fusing into carbon. In this process, carbon, the element on which all of our organic life is based, is created. Through a separate pathway, some oxygen is also created through helium fusion. Thus, two of the life-supporting elements on Earth are created through fusion.

That Carbon?

Like the one about the scientist declaring to God that he too can create life, so he challenges God to a race.

God picks up a clump of dirt.
The scientist picks up a clump of dirt.
God looks over and says “Hey - get your own dirt!”

I enjoy asking the questions that since living things are 80%-90% water, then how did water evolve?

Good point. I always say ‘why did it stop?’ re evolution. If humans evolved from apes why are there still apes?And,lastly,if the Big Bang theory is true WHAT went bang and where was it if there was nothing before it?

Stars. Fusion reaction.
