Some scientists say that life came from matter. That there is no creator. That everythign happened simply by chance. I believe, life can come onlyfrom life that is the living beings came from The supreme God. Do you agree? What are your comments? Cheers have a great day.

Life came from god he created man and every thing around us. just like you need a architect to built a house you also need someone to make all living things and god is the only one that can do that.

Yes, I agree with u that we should know how to live life. But, my basic point here is in counter to what some people think that life can come from matter or that there is no supreme controller. So I think you missed that point. Anyways thanks for responding.

Yes I agree but in a different way *
Also, non-duality of life and its environment. The principle that life and its environment, though two seemingly distinct phenomena, are essentially non-dual; they are two integral phases of a single reality. In the Japanese term esho-funi, eshois a compound of shoho, meaning life or a living being, and eho, its environment. Funi, meaning "not two," indicates oneness or non-duality. It is short for nini-funi, which means "two (in phenomena) but not two (in essence)." Hoof shohoand ehomeans reward or effect. It indicates that "life" constitutes a subjective self that experiences the effects of its past actions, and "its environment" is an objective realm in which individuals' karmic rewards find expression. Each living being has its own unique environment. The effects of karma appear in oneself and in one's objective environment, because self and environment are two integral aspects of an individual. The Treatise on the Great Perfection of Wisdom by Nagarjuna (c. 150-250) introduces the concept of the three realms of existence, which views life from three different standpoints and explains the manifestation of individual lives in the real world. These three are the realm of the five components of life, the realm of living beings, each as a temporary combination of these components, and the realm of the environment. T'ien-t'ai (538-597) included this concept in his doctrine of three thousand realms in a single moment of life. According to Miao-lo's Annotations on "The Profound Meaning of the Lotus Sutra," two of these three realms-the realm of the five components and the realm of living beings-represent "life," and, naturally, the realm of the environment represents "environment" in terms of the principle of oneness of life and its environment. These three realms exist in a single moment of life and are inseparable from one another. Therefore, a living being and its environment are non-dual in their ultimate reality. Nichiren (1222-1282) writes in his letter On Omens: "The ten directions are the 'environment,' and living beings are 'life.' To illustrate, environment is like the shadow, and life, the body. Without the body, no shadow can exist, and without life, no environment. In the same way, life is shaped by its environment" (644). He also writes in On Attaining Buddhahood in This Lifetime: "If the minds of living beings are impure, their land is also impure, but if their minds are pure, so is their land. There are not two lands, pure or impure in themselves. The difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds".

I also agree with you about the fact that life comes from life,their is one supreme creator who gives us all the right potions for the life.If life was created by matter then we could have created individuals with same feelings also but this is not possible.
Their is a fine line between science and faith and we should always believe in our faith.

Oh dear, I see that I am in the minority here. Life does come from life - that is to continue existance and development to perfection. But what started life?
I believe that life evolved from primeval chemical elements, heat and pressure and then adapted itself to different environments over millions of years.
Religion was invented, and developed, when man was intelligent enough and of sufficient population as to need a set of rules to live and survive in close proximity to each other. A crucial need, as seen in isolated communities throughout the world, each creating a religion independently of the other
As far as I can communicate, of all the animals on earth, only humanes have religion.

I believe life comes from life. I also believe life comes from in different forms. For example, when the world was created from the big bang that explosion was an action full of a life force that it brought life to the universe we live in which brought life to our planet earth which brought life to all living now, then, and in the future.

Yes life always comes from life .But life is nothing but a soul that is Atma which is the part of superpower LORD Paramatma.Because we know that GOD is the creater of this universe why because for every exixtence there should be the creater for the existing thing . So GODis immortal existing in this universe.

yes,i agree that life comes from life.No where do we see that life has come from matter.Si i can not accept that matter can evolve into life.Life can indeed only come from matter.this we can conclude logically.
