ok.. so let's say living things are like this metal.. ok, you take living beings, and they "rust" or break down due to oxidation.. but then they have a kid. the kid isn't born already "rusted". he becomes that way after birth, but then his kids also come out rust free, and their kids, and so on. and eventually, generations down the line, the kids coming out have grown a pair of legs..

hope that analogy was understandable..
