Nobody has DNA samples from ancient life because it simply is nonexistent or decayed or whatever by now.  If I can be provided with a RELIABLE link, I'll gladly read it.  That still doesn't explain why scientists still believe in Aristotle's idea of spontaneous generation when it comes down to the origin of life, either.  Going by deductive reasoning: IF all existing life forms are descended from single-celled organisms, then the single-celled organisms are descended from [???].

No, but you can infer that based on the way complex life forms have evolved, that there's probably no other way life could have developed except from a very simple, DNA or RNA based life form.

Also Aristotle's idea of spontaneous generation is antiquated and rejected, so I'm not sure what makes you think that.

then the single-celled organisms are descended from [???].

No one knows for sure. There's biologists who strictly study abiogenesis (life from nothing) and there's a really famous experiment called the Miller-Urey experiment, which tried to simulate the conditions of an early Earth. The composition of gases they used in their experiment was slightly wrong, but when corrected it still provides similar results. In those experiments, amino acids, the 'building blocks' of polypeptides and eventually functional proteins started to form. So it's possible that maybe the first life form was something that 'stuck together' from these pieces during the early Earth?

It's really hard to say even when life might have arose initially because lots of strata has been sucked back into the Earth's mantle by subduction faults and so that's a bunch of data that literally burnt up in the core of the Earth.

I'm not surprised that this proposal came from Tennessee.
We need to hire the Ku-klux-klan to enforce this rule.

Marcus Garvey, back to Africa movement. Even Malcom X wanted to make a self-govenering all black nation. Even the country of Liberia was founded by former slaves.

When it comes to injustices the LGBTQ community is like the majority minority. Almost all the time there is something on the news about some one getting beating up by straight white males
or laws and legislation that affect them. Plus they appear a lot in media, like the ice skaing portion of the olympics.

We never hear about the poor Native Americans who are stuck on stuffty land that our government put them on. We live on their lands, let our government try to kill them. Yet many of cry of the injustices of homoloveuals, but turn a cheek when it comes to what our nation as a whole did to a people.

Blacks and Hispanics get an appreciation month, still descrimated in parts of the country, but live in better conditions than a tin shack in the desert that doesn't have running water or sewage.

Not much has happened to the Asian Community. Not to many people descriminate against the Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, or the peoples of Indochina.

they'res injustice in the world? who knew?!

As far as I understand this bill allows people to dodge science questions by answering "God". In public schools. So that's cool. You'd have to be a loving moron to pass this.

False dichotomy. You can care about LGBTQ rights and Native Americans. Most American people concede that what was done to the natives was wrong. This is no longer a pressing issue. I don't think Native Americans are as likely to be discriminated against as, say, African Americans or Hispanic people. Racism against Native Americans is less prevalent than family values I would think. Also Japanese internment + Immigration Quota Act + Gentlemen's Agreement (what it fixed, not what it is) + Interstate Railroad Act all stuffted on Asians greatly. Not to mention the Korean war, in which Americans killed 4 million Korean civilians through bombing.

Did American troops round up homoloveuals and force them to live in camps? No. Did American soldiers shoot up all gay neighborhoods? Nope. Were they taken from there families to fight in a war they didn't want to fight and end being treated as second class citizens once they came home? Nope. Or have their languages taken from them and have them classified to be used as secret code to fight the Japenese? Nope. Are there given false messages of getting federal aid to fix their crumbling and barely habitable communities? Nope? How many famous Native American's are there in media compared to Gays and Lesbians? Have you seen a Native Reservation in person? Most of them are pretty ugly and having crumbling buildings. They are broken people, they have no hope, they all live a cycle of poverty.

Koreans Civilians weren't killed out of malice, they either happened to live in the war zone and get bombed or get caught in the cross fire or get frozen and starved because the opposing armies took their resources.
