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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Of the 27,000 protein molecules that your body's cells produce, about 26,500 are identical to those produced in chimpanzees' bodies. ikanreed đBleat 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)
