Please, refute my actual reasons, where are my objections to matter being eternal wrong? The things of this earth can break down and renew because they are given energy from different places (ie the sun). In the beginning, how can this matter get energy enough to reproduce? And how does a non-living thing reproduce? Matter is just another form of energy. Energy is never created or destroyed. Yup, E = MC^2 (Energy = Mass * Square of the Speed of Light). That formula just proves that as soon as you go with the speed of light, your mass will increase so you will go slower. Has very little to do with od or the first life on earth. And btw, scientist still have *no* idea how the first life form (bactery) came on earth, they suspect that because of high presure on a certain (unknown and no longer excisting) protein there suddenly was a bactery *POOF*! Don't you believe them? Me either.
