Another Bible site? Umm, no. I picked that out of Biology class myself. Seems to kinda stand out when the teacher teaches two contradicting things. The cell theory excludes the first cell. That should be obvious. That's just as stupid as asking, 'Can God create a rock so heavy he cannot lift it?' - The answer is no, because God would always be able to lift the rock. The same applies for the origination of cells, you can't create an insurp!@#$%^&*able paradox and expect us to give you a reasonable answer. That's lying to yourself, IMHO. I am talking about before the Earth, before the universe, before the Big Bang. Before the Big Bang, nothing existed, correct? How could life come from nothing, if a scientific law says that life must come from life?No, matter has always existed, however perhaps not in the forms we know it as? The Big Bang provides us with something to investigate the formation of organic molecules (and then into stable and self-replicating, larger organic molecules.) Why would we say that matter did not exist before the Big Bang and t hen continue to say that matter cannot be created or destroyed? Again, don't attempt to use an insurp!@#$%^&*ible paradox to prove someone wrong. It's illogical.
