Life - something from nothing? - 10-20-2006, 12:23 PM

Here's my question- where does life come from? Not in the general sense, but specifically, how does life seemingly grow from nothing? For instance, if you look at a seed, it is much smaller compared to, say, the oak tree it will grow into. So where does the extra matter come from that builds the tiny seed into a giant tree? Same thing with animals. A human embryo is pretty small, and it seems like it magically grows into an adult human. Does the input of food and water equal the amount of growth? Does the body convert energy into matter? Does my question make any sense? Any thoughts and/or answers?
