    Darwin already did.

    Seriously though, I'm an affiliate marketer and not really qualified to give such answers... but if someone were to look at how a human grows from a single sperm and egg, and then develops into a fetus, human... it's kind of like a super-speed example of evolution, one cell organism evolves into something more complex.

    But seriously, I'm just an affiliate marketer... :)

    Just like you can't explain the origination of a "god" which started it all ;)

    Yeah, but according to the Bible "God is a spirit". Not something you can touch. A spirit is a lot less of a mass than a cell weight wise (do I make sense?)

    So where does a spirit come from, where do emotions come from?

    If you are talking about this from a scientific point of view, then you have to realize that the concept of a spirit is not scientific. There is no way to prove or disprove the concept of a spirit, at least not with current technology.

    Any reason is good to blabber about governments, hey? :p

    (I will never give the attribute "God" to a government, even "lower God" ;p)

    A spirit has zero mass, gas has weight, a spirit has none.

    but look at China or North Korea etc.. People believe in their commie governments, very few believe in gods. I respect that belief more than yours, atleast we know that governments exist.

    Asian people have a stong tradition about spirits and Gods. They believed (in the ancient times) something like the Egyptians; the Emperor was a divine messenger. That's why they follow the leaders, although there is a lot of controversy in China about the govs (remember Tien-an Men).

    Of course, they, now, don't believe that the govs are Divine messengers but the tradition of obedience is strong in most Asian countries.

    I suppose Santa and elves are in the north pole, and a tooth fairy flies around collecting teeth too.

    The simple fact is there's no evidence of a god and no reason to believe in it other than fear of the unknown.

    Most of those people believed in polytheism. So they believed in gods and goddesses.
