Big bang and evolution theory can be compatible?

Question

The core of evolution theory is the premise that all living things
have their own predesessors.

Before me there were my father and my mother,
before my father there were my grandfa. and mom

before human there were chimpanges, evolution theory goes sometrhing like this.

All living things can not exist without predecessors, they are not born like popup.

But according to the another great theory to which all scientists agree , the big bang theory

Universe came to exist through big bang ,the great great explosion.

But at the big bang time no life form could not exist because it was so hot.

there was not any life form to evolve at the beginning of the universe.

So we explain the universe cooled down and finally life form happened.
it is very poor explanation because if we explain like this the first life form lost its predecessor it was a really popup .
explain to me please!

Answer 1

the theory goes that there was no life prior to the big bang.. but after the big bang stars started to form and planets formed around the stars which made conditions compatible for life.. then through some freak cosmic accident, lightning struck a puddle of premordial ooze which created the fundamental building blocks of life.. those pieces "evolved" over millions of years into the life we have today..



that's the theory anyway.. personally I don't buy it because the natural way of things is to go from order to chaos, not the other way around.. I don't see how it could be possible without some divine intervention..

Answer 2

the missing piece of information you need to understand how the big bang and evolution are related comes from the miller-urey experiments. Here's a link to the wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller-Urey_experiment

Answer 3

Oh ye of little understanding of theories. The Theory of Evolution says that humans and apes had a common ancestor, not that humans evolved from chimps. It explains how primitive life developed into more complicated life due to mutations. The Big Bang Theory talks about the formation of the universe some 15 billion years ago. These two theories have nothing to do with each other, with the Big Bang Theory dealing with Cosmology as seen through Astronomy and the Evolution Theory dealing with Biology as seen through Geology.

Answer 4

Obviously you wanted to answer your own question. Regardless the answer is not god. Becuase if you follow that logic then you would have to say that god also had a begining therefore he would also have an end.



The problem is your own humanity. You think you are better than our specises. We might think we have stopped evolving but the future is much different. Just think about it a hundred years ago we where living into our 50's now we are living into our 80's. Is this not a part of evolution?



We are able to split an atom into it's 100 or so compoments. We are able to see the basic structure of life. This has happened in the last 100 year. We can see to 300,000 million years after the birth of the universe, this has happened in the last 15 years. Just wait how much more proof we will have for evolution and the Big Bang in a few more year.



God died a long time ago, only ignorant people will still believe that there is someone who controls the universe.

Answer 5

You are unfortunately asking the wrong question. The theory of evolution was never intended to explain the orgins of life, only the orgin of lifes variations. Remember, the orgininal title of Darwin's seminal work was "On the Origin of Species", not "On the Origin of Life".

Answer 6

In all the vastness of the universe, it just had to happen once. Somewhere, a self replicating molecule that led to life formed. Why not here? As for your phrase, "popup", I hardly consider hundreds of millions of years popping up.

Answer 7

First off - before humans was NOT Chimps...(share a common ancestor).



This is going back to eons of evolution to the genesis of a 'living' amoeba.



At some point in our planet's history there was a huge mix of organic chemicals in what was called the primordial soup. it is postulated that electrical discharges sparked the creation of complex moleucles that would go on to create macro-molecules, which would have an affinity for each other, interacting in a proactive manner -



evetually leading to organic complex molecules that were isolated from the medium in which they were floating - becoming more and more distinct, replicating and consuming other mixer chemicals in the soup. this eventually lead to amoeba's and simple prokaryotic cells that started the whole evolution thing off...



read the Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins - helps you to understand the context a lot better than me!

Answer 8

The big bang is not necessarily the beginning. The big bang occured after all the matter in the universe had been compacted to a near infinitely dense point, and reached a limit resulting in a massive explosion which spread that infinitely dense material accross the universe. We see evidence of this by measuring (red light shift vs. blue light shift as light is not differentiable by speed but by light shift) and this evidence suggests that the universe is expanding which suggests that at one time there was a central origin. It is highly theorized however that the big bang was not the beginning, because the gravitational pull of all things is constantly decelerating all the matter in the universe (the expansion) and as such, there will eventually be a point at which the expansion reverts to contraction and all matter will begin to recenter (as matter condenses it increases gravity)... eventually all matter will continue to conglomerate until we have another infinitely dense point near identical to the one before. The hardest thing to grasp about this whole idea is that essentially, there is no beginning and no end, the universe has always existed and always will, I know... I know... its hard to wrap the mind around but essentially it works under the same pretense as creationists believe (that a god has always existed, and was not made)

But, regardless whether this was the first big bang or just the most recent by our perspective, it is important to realize that all matter (therefore every proton, neutron and electron) existed at that infinitely dense point and upon explosion, all of those particles were ejected into "space" and due to the lack of HIGHLY dense gravity, were able to attract and create atoms which then attracted to create elements... which became molecules such as gases and solids... thus chemistry began to take shape and whole stars were formed by mutual attraction of elements. Planets were also formed as elements from these stars were either ejected due to chemical reactions or matter was "broken off" due to collisions with other matter (think comets or asteroids grazing a star and pulling matter out in a line) thus whole solar systems were born. These smaller forms of matter congrued to one another and planets seperated under their own gravity. As all these materials interacted over billions of years, eventually complex chemicals were formed due to reactions of elemental attractions, and so on until a cell was formed which gathered chemical reactions to produce an ideal environment and at that moment, life was born. Evolution continues and exists from here on, continually changing that single cell as it replecates... becoming a multi-celled organism which in turn continues to replicate. Phew... my hand is tired, its tough trying to account for billions upon billions of years of time in one or two paragraphs. But essentially the big bang is the best evidence we have for the expansion of matter in our universe, which allowed particles to attract and shape the universe as we know it. There was a process of ideal situations resulting in a specific product, Life.



*By the way, I am not discounting the possibility of higher life forms or "gods" as it is a possibility, however I do not believe it a necessity and it is unprovable regardless, these two ideas do have the capacity to exist in unity.

Answer 9

Not everything needs a predecessor, the evolution theory says that WE evolved from monkeys, that was the original theory which people didn't accept. And not everything must have a predecessor. Your computer, the first one didn't have a predecessor, it was new.



I think that the laws of evelution say that everything evolved from single celled organisms like bacteria so they are where the chain begins.

Answer 10

the present theory, of the creation of life on earth, claims that under certain conditions, non organic matter turns into complicated organic compounds, this process can be demonstrated in the lab.

since this process is ongoing for eons, the theory claims that some organic compounds eventually achieved some very basic form of "life". that is copy itself, feed, etc.

once that happened, evolution caught on to make these "live" compounds into more advanced forms of life, single cell beings, and multi-cellular beings.

this process took less than 4,000,000,000 years, out of the 4,500,000,000 years since the sun and earth formed. but only 800,000,000 years ago these life forms reached a state were some remains can be observed today.

So there was your predecessors, some complicated organic molecules, and that was all it took to ignite the flame of life.

Answer 11

How so?



Ok, we are all descents of our ancestors but how come some of us have not "branched-out" or evolved into something else? Anybody slowly growing an aperture for gills? Why did some "chimps" evolved while others did not? Ok, we all had to come from somewhere right? We started off as minute one-cell organisms at the bottom of the ocean and now, millions and millions of years later, we are wonderful human beings right?

There might be some explanation there somewhere that we can all agree on somehow but how do you explain the "Big Bang Theory?"



Ok, there was a "BIG BANG" and the whole universed exploded out with tremodous force and here we are now. But I have a question for you. Where did the gases and other "materials" come from to form a "big ban?" Since the premise that all living things have predesessors then all-non living things should have predesessors? Compouds break down and become other form of materials which in turned are "recycled" and so on.



If the "big bang" had all these gases and so on ready to explode, where did those gases come from? What about the gases before the gases, before the gases? I mean, there had to be a start or a beginning somewhere right? Where did the "space" to create the never-ending universe come from? What was there before? "Non-space?" and where did that "non-space" come from?



I do not think anyone can explain it, that is why they are called "theories." The Theory of Evoluton" and the "Big Bang Theory." You can go crazy trying to figure it out!

Answer 12

maybe this can help:

In physical cosmology, the Big Bang is the scientific theory that the universe emerged from a tremendously dense and hot state about 13.7 billion years ago. The theory is based on the observations indicating the expansion of space (in accord with the Robertson-Walker model of general relativity) as indicated by the Hubble redshift of distant galaxies taken together with the cosmological principle.



Extrapolated into the past, these observations show that the universe has expanded from a state in which all the matter and energy in the universe was at an immense temperature and density. Physicists do not widely agree on what happened before this, although general relativity predicts a gravitational singularity (for reporting on some of the more notable speculation on this issue, see cosmogony).

Answer 13

your asking the wrong question the whole premise behind it is supost to be science and evolution or god and creation the big bang theory is what started the evolution process saying that we started as singled celled orgganisms and have evolved from the primordial ooze as for creation god made the world and said merry xmas love me if your gunna ask dont ask if evolution and evolution are compatable

Answer 14

what if God said "let there be light" and then the first cell divided and the big bang happened. and over time gas and matter condensed and became planets and stars. ...and God created man in his own image....... life on earth developed over a period of time and as life evolved to adapt to an ever changing environment eventually man came along. Evolution became self aware.

Its easier to imagine it that way if you think in terms of millions of years as apposed to immediate time.

Answer 15

Yes, there has to be something in the beginning to start something. Why did only one planet formed life on it? If there are many more out there, how come we are still searching. If there is, we are taking too long........it's been so many millions of years, and still no other "Earth" like planets.

Answer 16

I'd love to have the time to explain it to you, but I do not. I'm so sorry, because it would demand lots of time, as it seems one should start the explaining process from scratch so to speak.
