For creation to be false, dead matter came to life with genetic information, and instruction for growth! [Spirituality & Religion]

It's a bit more complex than that, so no, that implication not only isn't probably true (and we'd both agree with it), but definitely not the only option either.

The first forms of life were potentially several order of magnitude simpler than the lifeforms you can see around now. Perhaps not even involving genetics altogether.

@Elessar Ok so how did the genetic information and the instruction get in the little life?

Elessar · 26-30, M

@Carazaa How did complex software/programs/instructions get in our technology? Genetics probably hadn't started much differently, from simple organisms with very simple instructions to the level of complexity we have now.

@Elessar Glad you asked! By people! It didn’t get there by itself that would be a stupid answer!

Elessar · 26-30, M

@Carazaa In the case of technology, yeah. However, I've taken that as a parallel just to point out how codebases evolved over time. For life it probably was something similar, extremely simple "machines" that ran extremely simple instructions (or didn't even "execute" instructions at all, similarly to automatons) compared to the organisms and genomes that are around right now.

@Elessar Probably similar? How did matter become genetic with instruction?

Elessar · 26-30, M

@Carazaa As I explained, simple self-replicating machines getting more and more advanced over a pretty big slice of time.

@Elessar
Machines start by themselves? Wow my car doesn’t I have to turn the key!

Elessar · 26-30, M

@Carazaa Your car doesn't self-replicate. Poor example.

Carazaa · F

@Elessar Give me an example of a self replicated machine?

Elessar · 26-30, M

@Carazaa Yourself.

@Elessar I am not a machine! I am a human being and not self replicating. My kids are not a replication of me they are unique human beings. But I asked about the first life on earth how did life get information and instruction?

Elessar · 26-30, M

@Carazaa Ha, the definition of machine is broad. And yes, we're self-replicating, unless you've bought parts and assembled your children like a computer. Just like everyone else, they started as self-replicating cells of yours.

I told you, could've been simpler lifeforms getting more and more complex over time, the current complexity came with it.

@Elessar Basically didn’t tell me a thing about where the first cell got its DNA from. And the first humans came out of Africa just as the Bible said compared to evolution that said were from fish!

Elessar · 26-30, M

@Carazaa Hmm no, I actually explained what I think, I don't think the first cell or precursor of cell necessarily have to have had DNA altogether.

Carazaa · F

@Elessar all life has instruction in its cell!

Elessar · 26-30, M

@Carazaa Current life.

@Elessar
Answer the post please!

Elessar · 26-30, M

@Carazaa I did.

Carazaa · F

@Elessar It looks like you avoided my question how did the first cell get it’s instruction? Or did you not have biology in school?

Elessar · 26-30, M

@Carazaa I'm not avoiding any question, I've given a possible explanation already. Go up and re-read my replies.

Carazaa · F

@Elessar You have no answer except the obvious one that there had to be a creator!

Elessar · 26-30, M

@Carazaa Except it is neither obvious, nor anywhere more likely than the example I gave.

@Elessar ok well thanks for trying and for responding to my post 🙂💞
