Does not evolution proclaim that all life came from one original blob, or whatever it was, form of life?
First of all that was impossible and second it completely contradicts the Bibles explination of all life. It says clearly God created life, all forms, and all according to it's "Kind".

1.Genesis 1:11
Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so.
2.Genesis 1:12
The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
3.Genesis 1:21
So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
4.Genesis 1:24
And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so.
5.Genesis 1:25
God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

Does not the Bible say we came from one original blob (God)?

So god created things according to it's kind.
And it took specific days for these separate kinds of life.
You've got plants on a certain day and other creatures on a certain day.
Sounds like evolution to me

Edit: Unless we're supposed to take the Bible literally. In that case, I'll go throw rocks at my neighbors.

You don't like it, but its better evidence against evolution than any link you
atheist have given me for the support for evolution, which I still
believes does not occur. Its only a word that includes adaptation,
mutation, etc. to make it seem like important knowledge, when in
reality, it is only science fiction.
Why would I bother with a link?
The internet is full of complete nutters, so if you want a link to some crap about the end of the world or the flatness of the earth, you'll find it.
I would suggest a far better alternative would be a good education - including a study of science, literature and religion. Once you get that, then come back to me and we'll discuss your past ignorance.

No. Evolution says that organisms evolved from common ancestors. The notion that all life sprang from the same "blob" or "ooze" is outdated.

Second of all, what the hell are you doing arguing against a scientific discipline with a religious text? The two are completely unrelated. And please don't tell me that the bible is the literal truth - it clearly isn't, and to believe so makes anyone a moron. I imagine you would not consider yourself a moron, so don't waste our time with moronic statements. If the bible is literally true then a whole bunch of bizarre, vile and anachronistic practices are acceptable - stoning, rape, genocide. If you don't think these are acceptable - as I would guess you don't - then how do you decide which bits you'll believe are true, and which bits you'll decide need to be ignored? If you aren't doing this, then you're lying to us and to yourself. If you are doing this, then you are being completely inconsistent.
Which is it?

Ah yes, can't argue with someone, so try ignoring them instead.
Sort of proves my point really ...

Actually, every single scientific field is constantly changing, as we learn more about our world an universe. In other words, evolution is doing what science is supposed to do: become more and more correct as time goes on.

the two hemisphere human brain exists -what do you mean?
I am guessing you do not deny that we have two hemispheres?
Of course,I know that the two hemisphere brain exists in humans. I am asking for Scientific evidence of it having evolved that way.

Wikipedia says it is a feature of the eutherian brain (Mammals). Does anyone know whether marsupials have hemispheres?

Well my original question about the electric eel has not been answered with any proof or even a resonable guess as to how this could have "somhow just evolved".
But instead the usual attacks come to us who know it's not a fact in the slightest degree. Those attacks come only to deflect the fact that they cannot give any proof and cling to guesses.

God evolved the electric eel. There's something that we should be able to agree on (even if I do compensate my perspective a little bit)

Nerves and muscles produce electric impulses already. The electric organ is just a modification of that, not something radically different.

Eels are not the only electrogenic animals either.
