Sterling,
Okay.
I have some real  questions for you.
What came first. The chicken or the egg?
Seriously!
Also, Even if your statements are true.
Isn't there a missing link between not alive and alive?
And couldn't man have arrived here as a man and not an ape? 
Why did it take man soooo long to develop if it derived from the soup already here? 
Thanks,
Carl
