species don't really 'change' over time. What happens is that organisms which already have the favourable characteristics adapt, and live on. Organisms don't change themselves when they're living to adapt to the environment. There's no physical evolution and there's no Lamarckianism.
Generally speaking, there are only three common theories for how life evolved from non-life.
you're making the assumption that life came from non-life in the first place.
The problem with supernatural intervention is that causality governs the entire universe, and because causality implies predictable and determinedly governed laws that function the same always, then this theory is easily refutable. This is why I can easily refute the story of Moses receiving the Ten Commandments from God because causality prevents a portal from just opening up in midair.
now this is just hilarious. I don't believe in supernatural, but there's nothing about supernatural that defies causality. A portal opening from midair can certainly be caused. Infact, the whole of existence defies causality. What's the cause that matter came into existence? Did causality precede existence and matter?
Scientists agree that life moved on land from the ocean, so it is common knowledge in the scientific community that the first life probably originated from the depths of the ocean.
hahaha, oh boy!!! Just because they agree doesn't mean it's true....... It's common knowledge? No, it's religion and comforting 'paradigm shifts.'
And the common theory is that it took place on the surface of a hot-magma vent that spews all sorts of gases essential for life – so the combination of extreme heat, water, and the necessary gases created the right window of opportunity for the first amino acids to form, and from there, other essential molecules formed, which resulted in a super hot chuck of gunk on the surface of the magma vent.
hahaha, this is hilarious!!!! Yes, it's nothing but a theory, atleast you got that right. Just because some crude and non-living amino acids could have been formed doesn't at all prove that 'from there other essential molecules' formed, this is the exact same rubbish spewed by these zealots.
However, through some natural process, these molecules arranged themselves in such a way to form the first rudimentary type of life – it was probably something even cruder than the most rudimentary type of single-celled bacteria we have now
there's no such proven natural process that would do this. Natural selection REQUIRES life in the first place, natural selection does not MAKE life. It's pure rubbish that molecules just arranged themselves so perfectly and marvelously in a blind process with no goal or design. Rudimentary types of life? what a joke. There's no such thing as 'cruder than the most rudimentary type of single-celled bacteria we have now.' Single-celled organisms are infinitely complex and we don't even understand how they fully work yet. They aren't simple whatsoever, if they were we would have been able to make them by now, but we can't. It takes an imbecile imagination to think that through some random process complex life and all its spectacular organs and goals and intentions would arise from no goal or intention or design or reason whatsoever. This I think, defies causality.
