Which evolved first (how, and how long, did it work without the the others)? a)The digestive system, the food to be digested, the appetite, the ability to find and eat the food, the digestive juices, or the body's resistance to its own digestive juice (stomach, intestines, etc.)?
b) The drive to reproduce or the ability to reproduce?
c) The lungs, the mucus lining to protect them, the throat, or the perfect mixture of gases to be breathed into the lungs?
d)DNA or RNA to carry the DNA message to cell parts?
e) The termite or the flagella in its intestines that actually digest the cellulose?
f) The plants or the insects that live on and pollinate plants?
g) The immune system or the need for it?
Please, enlighten me...

Ok,now that you have all that...When, where, why and how did life learn to reproduce itself?

How did the flagella know to do specifically what it does? Wouldn't evolution require lots of trial and error? How would the species survive long enough to learn how to perform the said work?

Re: Others will, I'm sure enlighten
I understand knowledge is power and through study you gain knowledge. I am just curious about the thoughts from other brainpans... This is a deep subject EvC...there is so much to be learned from books, studying, and other powerful minds...This forum is a wonderful place to gain experience and knowledge in science based discussions.
I love science in all aspects. I also love to learn. If I don't get anything else from this, I am least getting a lesson in the advanced sciences.

Re: reproduction question
But when was the "right at the start thing?" How did life learn to be life?

Mutations
The ToE implies that new creatures come from the start of one creature. How can mutations (recombining of the gentetic code) create any new, improved varieties? (Recombining English letters will never produce a Chinese book)

Re: New books
That was not an analogy, it was a statement. Recombining ENGLISH letters WILL NEVER produce a CHINESE book. Now, when you begin to move around genetic code. The basic structure stays the same. All that will change is the variations in height, weight, muscle biuld, etc.. All that comes from the recombination is mutation not new creation. The monkey will stay a monkey and the man will stay a man.
