So i dont know if this question should go here or not, but this is a thread called avatar so it seems appropriate.

When Aang was walking to the Sealion turtle person in the last episode, i believe it said that before there was elemental bending it was bending the energy within yourself. So does that mean there was a point before the avatar existed? Because the avatar cant be the master of all four elements before there was elemental bending.
And if the above is true, where and how did the avatar come into being? Or any elemental bending at all. It seems to just put limits on things to me...
And did the sealion-turtle spirit bend when he touched Aang's forehead to give him the ability to take Ozai's firebending away? In which case it could be assumed that others could learn Spirit bending like what happened in the other elements... which just answered my second question. (They learned elemental bending from Dragons, Air Bicen, Those mole things, and watching the tides).
So just to sum up some discussion questions:
1. At one point was there only spirit bending (using own energy to bend) and no elemental bending.
2. (if above is true) Why convert to only elemental bending when spirit bending seems more powerful.
3. (Also if 1 is true) Where did the avatar come from if the elemental bending didnt arrive until later.
4. If early elemental benders learned bending from various sources, couldnt anyone theoretically learn bending where previously they were unable to?
5. What exactly does Spirit bending do..?
