[HTNGcreations]

how is it the birth of life on earth???

[tripp2012]

it shows you that life can be anywhere...

life can exist in the worst climates, without the suns energy.

The host clearly explains why they think its the birth of life...

Evolution... We had to come from somewhere and i think we definitely came from the ocean.

[sean1ers]

life definitely came from the ocean. Thats why life has to assimilate to aquatic conditions for reproduction. Example eggs, and the womb. Water carries out the role by allowing organic compounds to react in ways that ultimately allow replication.

@sean1ers

But how did it get to this planet in the first place?

Or can life occur spontaneously? Goddamn, I want to be a biologist.

Frozen water off an astroid perhaps?

If you liked this check out David Gallo: The deep oceans: a ribbon of life. It's a presentation at TED that has some more deep ocean footage that you may find interesting.
