Time and the first living "thing"

[HTacianas]

When the first "thing" came to life, was it destined to die, or is it still alive? Is the first living thing still alive among us somewhere?

If the first thing died, how much time elapsed between the first thing and the second thing? Then there's the third, fourth, fifth, etc. Seems like all of that would have taken an extraordinary amount of time before a thing then came along that could reproduce. Are the offspring of the first reproductive thing still alive or were they programmed to die?

Fast forward to today. I saw a video last night of a salamander yawning underwater. So, salamanders apparently yawn. People yawn. If both salamanders and people yawn, how far back do we need to go to find the first yawning thing that would be the common ancestor of man and salamanders? Or did yawning develop later in parallel?

Then, how much time passed between the first reproducing thing and the first yawning thing?

Yawning is sometimes a physiological response to low oxygen . Since lungs evolved from a pocket on the gut , it makes evolutionary sense that vertebrate animals with lungs would yawn to get more air into their lungs to get more oxygen .

Or does it make more sense that God created all beings on his earth?

And in his design he created them very similar?

that’s not what the verifiable evidence shows . You’d first have to demonstrate with verifiable evidence that God exists. You’d have to demonstrate again with verifiable evidence that God Creates and you’d have to demonstrate that God created animals plants etc. That’s the high standard this would have to pass to be considered scientific . ( before you start screaming, I’m a Christian and I’m also scientifically literate). That God created is a unverified and unverifiable scientific hypothesis and how you feel about your faith doesn’t come in to it

 

[Danielwright2311]

Your evidence or the fake man made evidence?

What I see is a bunch of lies and men who think they found some type of invisible evidence to 100 percent prove there is no god.

There was no common ancestor of humans and salamanders.

. That’s your unverified opinion

There was no common ancestor of humans and salamanders.

. All land vertebrates ( reptiles mammals birds etc ) evolved from amphibian ancestors

Er... no. You can read about how God created things in Genesis.

 

[Brightmoon]

Er... no. You can read about how God created things in Genesis.

. I prefer to look at God’s Creation directly . That’s what scientists do

You mean biological life or non-biological life?

Biological/material life is temporal, because material bodies are being destroyed in time.

I yawn when I'm bored....
hardly ever.

Do salamanders get bored?

I'm with you.

Is looking out the window considered "scientific"...why/why not?

. That’s your unverified opinion

And also your own opinion if there lies or not.

If bacteria reproduce by dividing, does the old bacterium die, when it divides? If you know that, you have your answer.

You're confusing analogy with homology. "Looks like" isn't homology.

if you see deities I’d probably assume you were schizophrenic . If you ask a scientist you get a scientific answer

I prefer to consult Genesis for the right answer. That's what Christians should do.

. I wouldn’t consult the Bible if I was looking for a new peach cobbler recipe . I wouldn’t consult the Bible if I wanted architectural plans. I don’t consult the Bible if I want accurate dependable scientific results . That’s not what the Bible is for.

I consult the Bible when I want to learn how God did such a significant action as creating all that exists.
