The Chicken or the Egg?

I'm normally very respectful of other's views when they are based on either their true belief system or a logical framework, even if I don't agree with it. Your response Destiny007, on the other hand, displays an attempt at logic based on belief without achieving it. First, if you trace back all the life on earth, it is plausible that conditions arose naturally in which chemical reactions formed the basis for life as very simple single-celled organisms. Those single-celled organisms evolved into more complex single-celled organisms, and made the leap to multi-cellular physical structures after random acts of mutation found this to be more sustainable, etc. Follow that to the current day and you've got the theory of evolution. You obviously do not understand the concept of mutation since you seem to assert another species is required for it. You are thinking of cross-breeding. Cross-breeding is not mutation. You help confirm my suspicions that theism is necessary for many theists because of an inability to have the humility to acknowledge a lack of understanding. This results in the natural consequence of assuming a higher power had something to do with it. Things are so much simpler for you answering "God" for all questions and not really think about them or admit you just don't know for sure. If you want to get really mad, check out my website. Please leave comments, I could really use them to help back up my views. It's at http://dravenwriter.blogspot.com My "not as respectful as usual" opinion.

The beginning of life can be found in the Book of Genesis. That is also where you will find the answer to whether the chicken came first or the egg came first. Cancer is a mutation, therefore would you claim that mutation to be the evolution that you hold as your god? Furthermore, your initial statement says that your hypothetical chicken egg came from something that mutated from something other than a chicken. Well, if it wasn't a chicken, then it was another species of some sort. Since the gestation period of a chicken is very short, and you go from fertilized egg to chick in something like 21 days, then that blows the whole evolution theory right out of the water. Evolution as it was taught when I went to school was a gradual process requiring thousands to millions of years for the changes to take place. Did they now start teaching a microwavable, more convenient and faster form of evolution? Instead of thousands or millions of years, we can now go from ape to man in days? They have been indoctrinating children into the theory of evolution for years, and you know what? Half the crap they taught us has now been decided that it was just crap. They keep teaching it because if they didn't, then what is left? That's right...Creationism. We were created, and we even came with a users manual. It's called the Bible. Science has for many years been trying to prove that there is no God, yet they have always failed because you cannot prove the unprovable. Either you believe or you don't.

With respect to your views although I disagree: Evolution is scientifically based. It's not fact, but neither is anything else. There are no absolute truths. The scientific process: Hypothesis--Experiment--Discard or Promote to Theory--Find New Evidence--Improve Theory Creationism is faith based. It's not a fact, although proponents assert it as such. The faith process: Hypothesis--Acceptance--Ignore Contradicting Evidence--Keep It Forever See more in my article here that is sure to get your blood boiling: http://www.helium.com/tm/192340 Draven the Respectful Atheist http://dravenwriter.blogspot.com

Erm...disregard about half of those questions marks. I'm wasn't wearing my reading glasses, so I didn't catch the typos.
