Abiogenesis (first life)

This is an 2002 article which explains how chemicals could follow a path to arrange themselves into the cells of today. Some people say we were created as is, the evidence is that we evolved. Those who say “as is” say there is no way chemicals could rearrange themselves to create life. This article explains how it is possible.

Four million years ago the oceans had been condensed (prior to that the earth was too hot for liquid water). It is generally thought that ammonia, methane, and neon were present sometime after the crust cooled, and volcanic outgassing added water vapor, nitrogen, and additional hydrogen. Some scientists state that ice delivered by comet impacts could have supplied the planet with additional water vapor. In the oceans are vents, cracks in the crust where water gets heated up and escapes. Within those vents are rocks that are porous. Within the holes in those rocks Iron sulfide and Nickel sulfide accumulate. These two chemicals react with each other creating films on the rock..
Mats of material that react to the sun first occurred. Fossil evidence of the earliest primitive life-forms—prokaryotic microbes (single-celled organisms) from the domain called Archaea and bacteria—appears in rocks about 3.5–3.7 billion years old. The archaea and bacteria are much the same, but act differently.
