Several million years ago, there existed a species. This species split into four distinct groups, and those groups grew apart. Each group grew so far apart that they evolved into distinct species - humans, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orang-outangs.
Creationists, believe it or not. They are the ones who parrot this 'men from apes' nonsense, despite it never being espoused by science.
I've already explained what the Big Bang is, and it's not what you keep making it out to be...
No, it is not.
That is unknown to humanity.
Perhaps. Nothingness is as alien a concept as you can get.
There is no evidence to tell us what, if anything, happened prior to 13.5 billion years ago, so science says nothing.
I find that to be an appalling sentiment, but you have the right to believe what you wish.
Who turns Lot's wife into a pillar of salt for looking at her home - yet Lot himself, who offered his daughters up for mass rape, walks free. I do not consider that being to be of love or of mercy.
Do elaborate. I don't doubt you believe you serve Jesus, but how does that mean you know that your particular deity is real? Many people serve many things, not all of which are compatible with your personal worldview.
I disagree. God, having created us in the full knowledge we would Fall, decided after some arbitrary time to manifest in an illiterate part of the world and sacrifice himself to himself in order to appease himself and thus life the punishment he himself levelled upon us - so long as we choose to love him.
Pretty much. Time is linked to space, so if space exists, time will propagate. But, theoretically, barring any major hiccup in our understanding of entropy, the universe will die a cold death as entropy hits a maximum and the universe is a horribly thin, cold, plasma.
No. Well, maybe. We don't know
.
Presumably, they're as old as the universe. They're just the rules by which particles interact - an electron is repelled by other electrons because that's just how electrons are, not because of some big equation in the sky. We can describe electrons' behaviour in terms of equations, but it's just that: descriptive. What we're describing is electron behaviour - and electrons just sit in their own part of space, interacting with whatever they can, however they can. They have no concept of currents and voltage and suchlike.
It was originally based on similiarities of form and function, but that gross observation has now been supported by developmental biology, genetics and biochemistry.
Perhaps it is because it is due to your "Lack" of knowledge on the subject that brings you to the false conclusion.
