Question: How many dead bugs do you have to stick together to get a live mouse?
Answer: It won't work.  You can't make life from dead things.

Question: How many dead mice do you have to stick together to get a live horse?
Answer: Again, It won't work.  You can't make life from dead things.

To most of us these answers seem obvious.  Yet scientists tell us it is possible.  Dead, or non-living particles stick together to form non-living atoms.  Non-living atoms stick together to form non-living molecules.  Non-living molecules stick together to form LIVING plant and animal tissue.

Huh?

Where did the living part get added in?

No one knows.  Probably because it didn't get added in.  It was there all along in the molecules, atoms, and even the sub-atomic particles.

While researching a different question I stumbled upon a post on this subject on another blog named Monsoon.  An Interesting blog on spiritual matters from a blogger in India .
