Intermediate step to beginning of life uncovered

Now that is something different. And off topic for this thread, but, yeah, I understand it's not the usual way we think of time. And it doesn't follow some of what we anticipate to be true with some of the more tried and true rules of physics. 

As far as linear time and the Bible, it's written as a book, so that accounts for a lot of it. If you had the pages interspersed in random order it would make less sense. You could still follow it, like when you look at those photos where letters are replaced with numbers, but it would take more work.

And while the Bible talks about a beginning and end, it's referring to this physical world we know now, not what else is out there. Which neither religion or science knows anything about. Religions normally talk about some form of afterlife and in science we're discovering more about what makes life, as in we're finding it smaller and more complex all the time.
