Spoiler: Molecules Do Not Become Humans[edit]

It's neither necessary nor a component of evolutionary theory that "a molecule becomes a human".

I don't know who taught you how genetics work, but you seem to be regurgitating a creationist talking point without understanding it. Here are some related statements that are true.

  1. A group of 46 gigantic molecules called "chromosomes" contain all the information necessary to create a human, but lacking a bunch of related cellular (and developmental) support structures that process that information, are nothing more than data.
  2. The earliest processes where small groups of naturally occurring molecules(more than one) became self-replicating systems that we call life(and far far far far far far simpler than humans) is called abiogenesis and is a topic still under research with several competing theories.
  3. Of the 27,000 protein molecules that your body's cells produce, about 26,500 are identical to those produced in chimpanzees' bodies. ikanreed 🐐Bleat at me 19:53, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
Absolute rubbish. An invisible wizard magicked us all into being in October 4004 BC. We know this because a bunch of shepherds said so. Nudescendant (talk) 20:01, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
