What created the first cell on Earth? God or Big Bang?

All roads lead to one.

Every culture has a different name for it.

God, Allah, Vishnu, Muhammed,

The plain fact is that something created the first living organism.

How can you disagree? Definitely way before Adam and Eve.

The tree that grew before them, means that life/growth existed before them.

Back to biology. Back to basics. The first cell, the first bacteria,the first organism, the first thing that could evolve, how did it exist? What created it??

If you believe in "Big Bang"....what created the things that create the "bang". What made the planets.

In my opinion..... It is so unimaginable.

So beyond God or any other deity.

Something, created space. Planets. Oxygen for human life.

Even if you believe in God and Adam and Eve and Jesus.... What created this planet. God, ok. Now what created all the others? And why?

In essence.....

What created the first cell on Earth?

Fundamental randomness created larger and more complex molecules over a period of a billion years in warm sunlit seas, around hydrothermal vents and wherever energy was flowing. Fundamental randomness created building blocks such as hydrocarbon rings and chains and amino acids that glommed together in random ways. These would become the ancestors of bacteria and other prokaryotes (cells without distinct nuclei).

I don't know what caused the big bang. You can name that first cause "God" if you like. But naming the first cause does not automatically get you a purpose in life, an afterlife, a being that will answer prayers, a moral order, or any of the other meaningful parts of religion.

@ElwoodBlues The big bang says a single point expanded. What created that point?? This goes beyond "God"

@HellsBelle As I said, you can name the first cause anything you like. But naming the first cause does not automatically get you a purpose in life, an afterlife, a being that will answer prayers, a moral order, or any of the other meaningful parts of religion.

@HellsBelle At the risk of repeating myself,
