Who said that my beliefs could explain everything?

No, I don't think reproduction happens accidentally.

Yes, I think there is no outside intelligence guiding this.

What do you imagine is "the first living organism"?

Hi Great King Rat

You ask, "What do you imagine is "the first living organism"?"

All I can say for sure on this is that the Holy Bible reveals it is from the plant kinds.

Which of course is totally bogus, since the bible was written by men with no guidance from some kind of god, since a real god would have known full well the first life forms were single cell bacteria like things. Having not said that in your so-called bible proves they didn't know their ass from a hole in the ground and CERTAINLY didn't get that BS from a god.

Why isn't that obvious to you? Oh, yeah, I forgot, you self lobotomized your brain 60 years ago.

Science is still learning, but they know that bacteria cells were necessary for plant life and are included as part of any plant as we see below:

Science News

June 19, 2013 — Long before Earth became lush, when life consisted of single-celled organisms afloat in a planet-wide sea, bacteria invaded the ancient ancestors of plants and animals and took up permanent residence. One bacterium eventually became the mitochondria that today power all plant and animal cells; another became the chloroplast that turns sunlight into energy in green plants.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/06/130619164804.htm

God created plants first therefore, bacteria cells are part of the plant kingdom as I see it. Plants required the ability to turn sunlight into energy in the beginning and did not evolve this ability. Those bacteria cells were made by God in the plants. When animals were made they ate the plants for food and the bacteria in the plants became part of animals. Also bacteria did not evolve into mitochondria because God made those cells too.
