Under The Sea…
life was born!
At least, according to this article on MSNBC, that’s what scientists think. The current theory is that microbes, from which all life on Earth sprang, started in the hot primordial soup found swirling around undersea volcanoes.
Every couple of years, someone comes up with a new twist on how life started, but no one really will ever know for sure. I think we’ll have a better idea of what it really takes to create life when we finally find it on other planets and can examine their ecosystems and so on. So, bascially, I’ve reconciled myself to not knowing that answer ever because, unless something miraculous happens, I don’t expect us to get to life-bearing alien planets in my lifetime.
Still, it is interesting to speculate about….
