As you know, a few billion years after the big bang, earth formed. Note: there were no organic molecules at that period in time. However, Alexander Oparin hypothesized that organic molecules could have arisen from non-organic molecules. Miller proved this, by putting water, some minerals that could have been found at that time, and the atmosphere that was found at that time into a jar, circulated it for weeks, and at a certain point in the circulation, he created an electrical discharge, similar to the huge amounts of energy that was being released at that time. He proved that organic molecules could come from non organic substances. He created the building blocks of matter: some amino acids, and the most important thing: nucleotides, which are the building blocks of DNA, which are pentose sugars, but you can look that up on your own. Anyways, the biggest problem with Miller's experiment was that even though the building blocks of living things came up, there was not any living material; the parts didn't come together. Later, another scientist proved that, under the right circumstances, you could produce reletively short proteins, about 50 amino acids long, comparetively short to the several hundred, even thousand found in some modern proteins. Anyway, some say that because of this, some organic molecules came together into a cell-like structure. Scientists made these structures in their labs, and even tried giving them modern enzymes: they were used. That means, that when the cells were given the hammer, they used it. Scientists think, through a long and complicated process, which you can learn about, life started to turn into the first Monerans, which gave way to Protists, etc.
You don't have to read the above
That's what i learned. What do you think about the evolution of life?
:?
My question: what do you think about the evolution of life from nonliving things, and how do you think life started? The Panspermea hypothesis, maybe?
by the way, what is the little bar under my name, and how do i get it larger?
