Evolution in the VERY beginning

The study of evolution is focussed so much on going from the bacteria to the human being. A question, that I find unable to answer, is how did those first components arrive? I am not very educated in the mixture of gases and materials to form different substances under energy or whatever it is. I just want to know how an evolutionist can explain the beginning. How would there just "be" something if it was not made? If possible(which seems unlikely on this forum) i would like strict answers to the question rather than tangents. Thanks.This message has been edited by david12, 09-28-2005 10:58 PM

if you could post it under abiogenisis then, i edited it as well

Im asking for someone to explain to me how evolution could start. So lets just say hypothetically that evolution is true, how did it start? how did the first bacterias get there? If they were somehow formed by certain matter, how did that matter get there? At some point in time if you go back far enough there had to be a creation. Im using general terms (certain matter, first bacterias) because I am not well versed in scientific reactions and early life forms. Because as far as I know, it is not possible for something, to come out of NOTHING, if it was not created

well, i pretty much heard what I thought I would hear. But as far as the comment why would you choose nothing as the starting point... When counting, you start at 0. When building anything you start with nothing but an idea. Before birth you were nothing. The very word start is beginning, your progress is nothing, and your are starting. If you can find the starting point of life besides nothing, how did you come up with it? This seems more rational than just saying, "Lets start with an earth. And some stars. And wait, dont forget the bacteria."

thank you Jacen, you have greatly influenced the debate.This message has been edited by david12, 09-29-2005 12:06 AM
