I thought there was a thread exactly like this not too long ago...

I agree with Mini Moose. Why do people worry about where they came from anyways? Now that I think about it, it makes no sense why anyone would care. Same with the universe. who cares how big it is? We will never explore all of it because it is infinity...
Because people are insecure, people feel lost without some sort of anchor no matter what it may be. We want to know where we cam from because they want to confirm or deny what really happened way back then. Then its simple human curiosity, I think the most exciting thing to ever know would be to know how "everything" all of this began where it all came from...

Does it really matter? I don't think we're here to contemplate our origins, we're here to live. :/
If we dont know our orgins we can not move ahead.

I guess it's human nature to desire security.
Exactly thats why humans are naturally sociall creatures.

Intelligent Design makes more sense to me then the "Big Bang" theory which ironically violates many laws of science.
which laws does this violate, note most of these "broken laws" have already been explained. Besides the Big bang is probaly the most commonly accepted theory among scientist next to string theory.

You all should consider yourselves lucky, we are on the ONE planet that has life, not too cold or hot, we live in AMERICA, not China where people are oppressed, and we all have computers where some people don't.
you nor does anyone else on this planet know that we are the only planet with life. According to the law of big numbers there has to be at least one other planet out there in the trillions upon trillions of them with life on it.
To the 1million degree thing, no matter how adaptive carbon based life here on earth could
never survive. Its quite simple when an atom or cell gets energy (heat) it can only hold so much and the rest is expelled even if evolution was pushed to its peak in this case the cell could still only take in so much energy. After that the cell would explode under the tremendous amounts of energy.
Single cell life has been around since the first geologic activity (ie the first rocks). After that for maybe a billion more likely less years life exploded. We went from multicellular life to sponges in an incredibly short time.
