Which came first? plants or animals?

[AV1611VET]

Hi there.

So I got to thinking. If abiogenesis kick-started life on this planet, which did it kick-start first? plants or animals?

If it kick-started plants, are we plants?

If it kick-started animals, are plants animals?

How then did plants transition to animals, or animals transition to plants?

Maybe there were two abiogeneses: one for plants and one for animals?

Thoughts?

Yes. Will everyone please ignore this insipid garbage and just let this thread die a lonely death?

Please.

Your lack of scientific knowledge is amazing.

According to scientific guessing, plants evolved first and were around long before animals. The first animals are said to have evolved as marine animals during the Cambrian explosion so yes, it appears there were two abiogenesis events.

Thank you, sir; you are a gentleman and a scholar!

Thank you, sir; you are a gentleman and a scholar!

Just to correct ED, the scientific view is not that two different abiogenesis events occurred to produce plants and animals, rather we both evolved from a common ancestor, but the divergence occurred before multicellular life evolved. I know you don't like to be bothered with science, I just wanted to correct ED's misrepresentation. "Scholar" might have been a bit hyperbolic.

So what was this common ancestor? half-plant and half-animal?

The existence of animals and plants does not require two abiogenesis events. They share a common ancestor, as any biologist will tell you.

 

[AV1611VET]

They share a common ancestor,

Which is?

 

[evoeth]

A bacteria.

 

[AV1611VET]

A bacteria.

Then what's with this stuff?

Yes. Will everyone please ignore this insipid garbage and just let this thread die a lonely death?

Please.

If bacteria is the answer, why is my question garbage?

And for the record, if I'm supposed to believe I'm a mammal ... does that mean I'm bacteria as well?

Agreed.....I felt my brain shrinking just reading the OP......

 

[AV1611VET]

Then how is it evoeth has an answer?

I take it he's more informed than you guys are?

The most scientific theory I like is that the globe was one, very complex organism. Over time the organism has deteriorated into various less complex organisms and the trend has continued. "Twitter" is the latest example of the current intelligence of man.
140 text characters, max.

I must admit, it is pretty weak, even for him.

Still, I am sure Eternal Dragon will be on here to defend it.

And Dad of course. Mustn't forget Dad.

I take it evoeth knows something you guys don't?

As I understand it from my brief reading up about it, plants and animals diverged from a common ancestor form of eukaryote life, which would have been ancestral to both groups but a member of neither one.

Then why is my question considered "garbage," among other things?

Do they know something that you don't?

I personally think the question is a very good one, and I like your and evoeth's answers.

But others apparently don't see it that way.

Dear AV, Here's the chronology:

Day 3 The first human, Adam, is formed from the dust of the ground. Gen 2:7 This was about the same time as the Big Bang of our cosmos.
Day 3 The LORD puts Adam into the garden to dress it and keep it. Gen 2:8 Our Cosmos was dark for the first Stars were not made until hundreds of millions of years after the Big Bang
Day 3 The LORD makes every Tree, plant, herb for the Garden. Gen 2:9 As of this time, there was NO Galaxie, Planet, nor Star in our Cosmos. The first stars put forth their Light on the 4th Day, Gen 1:16 which was some 13.7 Billion years ago, in man's time. Gen 1:21

On our Planet Earth, plants were first and Humans did not arrive until some 10k years ago. They arrived in an Ark. There is NO such thing as Magical Chemical Generation or Abiogenesis involved. Prehistoric man, was created on our Earth, from the water, on Day 5, Gen 1:21 and changed from animal to Human intelligence when they married Noah's descendants, and passed Adam's Human intelligence to all Humans today. Gen 10:8

Abiogenesis was dreamed up in Fantasy Land, by Evols who are "willingly ignorant" of God's Truth. ll Peter 3:3-7 God Bless you.

In Love,
Aman
