Pretty much, yes.

It's more to do with evolution than anything else.

Yes, earth did have oxygen. However, the oxygen was not present in its elemental form. The oxygen was combined with other elements in various compounds, and it was the action of the cyanobacteria which was able to convert oxygen into its pure form. This then gave rise to evolution of more complex organisms able to use oxygen for respiration.

You forgot another main one: carbon dioxide. If sunlight and water are also present, that's what allows photosynthesis in plants to occur.

Look up the Miller-Urey experiment for another theory as to how the first prokaryotic cells developed on earth.

You show me where God is and I may just begin to adapt to your ideas. "
He's outside of this universe," is not an answer.

Our source is NOT "human evolution," it is God. Proof in in the Holy Bible. Just read the first chapter in the book of Genesis to see for yourself. |
Awww, shucks! It's that book again that has absolutely no verifiable origin... guess that easily defeats real empirical scientific evidence then.

Complete nonsense.
Many of the original authors of the Bible - whoever they may be - are the
daydreamers. Scientific theories are verifiable through empirical experiments. That's how science works. When an observation is made, a theory is formulated to scientifically explain that theory. Later, if more observations are made which fit with the theory, that theory is strengthened. Conversely, if new observations are made which show the theory to be incorrect, that theory is scrapped and scientists go back to formulate yet another theory to explain everything.
It appears, more than anything, that you do not understand simple scientific priniciples. If that is the case, you are not in a position to declare
any science incorrect.

Your point? Correlation does not prove causation.

Exactly. You're talking as though that's a bad thing; it's not.

BS. Try again.

Leaving those great minds to sit around and pray in church all day (and fiddle with the choir boys) would be a far greater waste of intelligence.

Oh, great. Richard Feynmann's son is posting on this forum. No wonder you got kicked off Newegg.
