As I said before, I do NOT believe that the Earth was created in 6 days. But I won't say it is impossible for that to happen.

BTW, your stupid little insults don't make you or your agruments sound more intelligent.
I'm going with "life" began as a single-celled organism... millions of years ago, the chemistry was just right on earth, so that the building blocks of life (amino acids, nucleic acids, etc) were formed- eventually associating with each other in away that information was preserved and the organism could replicate... fast forward years and years and YEARS later, and more advanced organisms evolved, such as those that could use sunlight for energy.... fast forward more and primitive marine life evolves which eventually spreads on to land (some staying in the oceans)...

we would not be here if there was no water on our planet. Like in college chemistry- when you want a reaction to take place between two substances, you facilitate this by dissolving them in a solvent so the molecules can interact with each other freely. Over the span of millions of years, the same chemistry took place in the oceans of earth, eventually resulting in life.

to me, this seems more sound than creation in 6 days.

whats missing from the picture is the fact that we cannot "engineer" life in the lab. there is a certain essence that allows things to be alive- its the difference between a bundle of proteins with DNA and an actual living organism. who knows- i hope we get there.
