Quote by: HelioPrime Not sure if this is the best place for the topic but the question is: How did rocks and gas from early earth evolve into simple forms of life? So to answer we have 3 possible answers people might agree on: A) Some deity (we'll use god for now) created the basic life. B) Rock and gas simply became life thru some process perhaps devolping into a virus or some other non-life form. C) Aliens seeded the earth. Well the answer? Not sure, I'll use an arguement assuming the atheist position: -Rule out A because god has already been disproven. -Rule out aliens because we have no evidence to support their existance -So the answer is B? Is it B because there is no other possible senario? Or is the life question something we just plain don't know?

Rule out A because it doesn't answer the question being asked. Saying "God did it" doesn't explain how god did it. If you can't explain how god did it, then how do you know god did it? It is looking in the totally wrong direction.

And if we are going to discuss how life began, then let's use the actual terms. Who said life came from rock and gas?

If you want to suggest that life was created intentionally with a designed purpose, then you better support that claim. Also, even if life was created with a designed intention does that mean life can't be created naturally without a designer?
