Evolution Deep Sea Vents and Life's Origins

http://www.myspace.com/acorvettes
Bacteria found deep in the ocean in the volcanic regions of mid-ocean ridges suggest a possible scenario for the beginning of life on earth.

Ocean water seeps into cracks created by sea-floor spreading at the mid-ocean ridges and is heated by magma from inside the earth. Water in these hydrothermal vents reaches temperatures of 375 degrees C and higher and is rich in dissolved minerals. The hot water rises from the vents in geysers and meets cold ocean water, causing minerals to precipitate out of solution as the water cools. In some places compounds of iron and sulfides form "chimneys" on top of the vents. Such an extreme environment seemed unlikely to support life given the conditions of temperature, pressure, and absence of light for photosynthesis.

There's a problem with this: The land they showed at 4 billion years ago wasn't green. Plants hadn't evolved yet, it was most likely black or red, and the same goes for the sky.

no everything is carbon based meaning all their structures are made of carbon, protiens etc.. now what they do say is that these areas are sulfer based ecosystems, just like our biomes are photosynthesis based. It just denotes the primary source of energy.

@VeritasTruthEmet Even when it's outrageous, it's hard to just throw away things you were told as a child that you based much of your identity on.

ugh can't believe iam getting examined on this........

[VeritasTruthEmet]

This is all a lie, nowhere in the bible does it speak of hydrothermal vents. We all know the world is 6,000 years old, too. No one will ever believe this nonsense. Walking on water is far more plausible than natural selection. So is vicarious redemption and an invisible God that does all this magic in secret. He just put all this here to trick you. Yeah, don't listen to science, read your bible! .... How can Christians live with themselves?

Where did the meteors come from? If from space, where did space come from?

thank you so much, that's really fantastic !!!

[petexii]

beautiful!
