Quote by: Dirty Name So now what is required is that over the next billion or so years, various elements floated about as flotsam and jetsam, too and fro, until all of a sudden a few key chemicals came into contact with one another and combined in such a way - perhaps with the help of an electrical discharge or something - and a microscopic living organism is produced. And that this organism then began multiplying and evolving and growing until viola! It becomes a single-cell animal, a paramecium. Then, this paramecium evolves into a more advanced, multi-celled creature, until the point at which these life forms become "intelligent." And then, they evolve further until fish becomes reptile, reptile becomes mammal, mammal becomes monkey, and monkey becomes man. |
I guess you'd be surprised at what can happen in 4.5 billion years. Humans have been around for about 200,000 years. Now multiply that by 22500 years. If the Earth's time since its existence was a clock starting at 12 a.m. and going all the way around to 12 a.m. again, modern day humans would be around 11:59:50. People just don't understand how much time has actually passed.
