How Did Life Begin?

How would you complete the follow sentence? LIFE IS A RESULT OF ____

A.EVOLUTION
B. CREATION




SOME might assume that a scientifically-minded person would pick "evolution" and that a religious person would pick "creation." But not always.  Rama Singh, professor of biology at Canada's McMaster University, says: "The opposition to evolution goes way beyond religious fundamentalism and includes a great many people from educated sections of the population." Consider Gerard, a professor of entomology who was taught evolution at college.  "When I took tests," he says, "I would give the professors the answers they wanted-but I did not believe it." 

Why is it that even some Scientifically-minded people have trouble accepting evolution as the origin of life? to answer that, consider two questions that baffle many researchers:  (1)How did life get its start? and (2) How did living things develop? 

Next time: 1. How Did Life Get Its Start?
