How do you think the very first human was made? excluding the bible fantasy that some man magically created us?

even if you are religious and want to believe that a man created you, just put that aside for the sake of just answering this question with logic, as as-of yet there is not real explanation of how humans were created other than the bible story.

sometimes you leave old cereal or bread rot, and then life is created, you see tiny little bugs or worms form where there wasn't life before and then they mate with each other and create MORE of each other.

then you have fruit, when it starts to rot, life is created as well in worms or what we call fruit flies that create themselves from the rotting fruit, there was no sex/procreation involved just a rotting fruit, and then after they have sex to create more, ..

there are many more examples where life is created without sex and without a magical man creating it either just nature

so having all that in mind, how do YOU believe we came into existence?

Just evolution. Mutations. Some natural selection and a lot of time.

I don't view it as a very complicated or mystical phenomena. Selective dog breeding is an aggressive form of evolution that we can observe even in our own lifespan which pretty much works as practical proof of evolution being a thing.

You just have something. It changes a lot. Possibly experiences a favourable mutation. At some point a non-human gives birth to what we would consider a first human. Ironically this also solves old riddles like "What came first, the chicken or the egg?".

What religion teaches that "some man created us"? I never heard of that one.

Think it was a very gradual evolution over time from apes that stood on 2 legs , evolution continues.

This, humanity didn't pop up out of nowhere. The modern human homo sapiens comes from africa and likely developed this way due to circumstances from homo erectus (from which in Europe neanderthals came to be)

Its a very interesting story to read trough.

@Nirmroth yes first traces of what we are came from africa, you still didn't answer the question , how did we start existing?

. of course we evolved but how did the first human that we evolved from came to be? there still isn't any explanation yet, but i'm asking people in general from what we do know, how do YOU think we came to exist?

we didn't look like this before we evolved but how did the first being ever to exist of which we evolved from came to be of existence?

[Nirmroth]

Ah you mean the origin of life in general?

there's multiple therories about it. It could be chemical reactions happening by sheer luck. Or life could have come from the outside. Time plays a huge factor, everything is possible with those quantites. We life in only a microscopic part of time compared to all time that has passed before us. I agree the most with the explanation presented here:
