I read once that the first indications of cellular life come about 1 billion years ago. And that cellular life came about and died off at least twice before it took hold. What I never have heard is a good reason why free-floating protiens formed cellular life. I've heard the evolutionist theory about parasitic, and para-sympathetic protiens, working togethor. But that just doesn't click with me. It really is a "black box" as how this happened, and IMO one of the best indicators of divine existance.

RRaney,evolution is not simply a matter of a gene changing into another. There is a tremendous complexity in creation not just morphological but also biochemical. The true question that must be answered by evolutionists is whether evolution was a G U I D E D or simply a RANDOM process. Nobody can prove that so far with mathematical precision similar to physics or chemistry or math. TA Message #615 from RRanney at Sep 16 1999 10:11AM <Evolution means that things spontaneously happen without a Higher Power guiding the process. Correct?> Thre is nothing magical or spontaneous about evolution. It is a very matter of fact process. One little gene change after another, built up over many many generations, gradually makes a different creature from what lived many millions of years before. <where and when and how did the first living being appear?.> Good question. Evolution itself says nothing about this. Evolution says what happens to living creatures, populations, and species, after the first living and reproducing thing is in existence. The origin of life is a different problem. And a very difficult one. No one knows the answer to that question. Maybe we will never know, though I believe that even this problem will one day find a scientific solution. There are a lot of "theories" for this one, but no consensus of opinion among scientists or anyone else.
