Always with the insults. If we all came from the sea why aren't humans also living under water? And why would some life forms choose not to evolve and why are all humans so much alike. While I believe it's possible and maybe even probable we could have all come from the same microbial life form, I don't think science has proven it. It's just hard to believe all the variations that resulted. Even if there were many original microbial life forms, it's still not proven science and a lot to take in. I can understand why the masses might be doubtful.
