If you look at and compare DNA structures, the DNA of humans and other apes are all very similar. It's pretty interesting how a few small tweaks here and there can make such a difference.

The beginning of a life form is complex, delicate and immediate,You have absolutely no idea what types of organism preceded the cell. Nor does anyone else. All of the evidence was microscopic and existed a billion years ago. So there are no fossils at that size level.
no long, slow, gradual process of natural selection can ever explain it.
Even the simplest living cell has a complexity that is on a grand scale.
We're talking about a living cell with complex structures, components,
and processes that all have to be in place, in order, and functioning
exactly as they are suppose to for the cell even to exist. Originally Posted by bojulay

Viruses are far less complex than cells. So there are simpler structures that can exist below cell level.
So, you don't know what came before the cell and cannot make broad statements about the requirements for the "first" cell to exist. Originally Posted by ExNYer

Sure I do, organisms that consisted of at least RNA.
A virus consists of RNA and most agree that cells came first
because a virus needs a cell to replicate its self.
No cell, no replication. Cells do not replicate from viruses and
viruses do not replicate on their own.
I never said they did. I only pointed out that there are smaller, simpler structures than cells that can replicate. So it is entirely possilbe that other simpler protein structures that we don't know about eventually because more complex over time and many replications - until the first "cell" was formed. However you determine that.
There is no organism that cells could come from that would not consist of RNA
and you also have to have proteins for RNA to work.
Refer to my earlier post about the complexity of RNA and the nucleotides
that it consists of.
Just saying there might be some organism no one knows about doesn't cut it
when there is no conceivable way to fit it into the equation.
Why not? You don't know that there is no conceivable way to "fit it into the equation" Because mankind does not have complete knowledge yet. Not even close. Originally Posted by bojulay

bojulay since you are so intent on converting all us non-believing sinners, how exactly are you going to be judged as a hooktard yourself? doesn't the bible forbid consorting with prostitutes?Mary Magdalene was said to be a prostitute. Jesus and she were seen together quite a bit.
http://www.gotquestions.org/prostitution.html
God forbids involvement with prostitutes because He knows such involvement is detrimental to both men and women. "For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil; But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword. Her feet go down to death, Her steps lay hold of hell" (Proverbs 5:3-5 NKJV).
i mean, you do see hookers, don't you? of course you can claim your 8 reviews are fiction, right? that'll fix things with the Almighty and get ya in the Pearly Gates!
oh snap! i get it now, you'll just say ten Hail Mary's after each session and you good to go! Originally Posted by The_Waco_Kid
