Wow, sorry about all the typos in my last post, it’s midnight for me and I can barely type.

Wait, what about this… www.reuters.com/article/healthNews/idUSN0124269320070301 Yup, lots of people opened a jar of peanut butter and life inside.

Ahem….
“Earth and the other planets of the solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago, condensing from a vast cloud of dust and rocks that surrounded the young sun. It is unlikely that lif could have originated or survived on Earth for the first few hundred million years because the planet was still being bombarded by huge chunks of rock and ice left over from the formation of the solar system. The collisions generated enough heat to vaporize all the available water and prevent seas from forming. This phase likely ended about 3.9 billion years ago. The oldest known rocks on Earth’s surface, located at a site called Issua in Greenland, are 3.8 billion years old. Although certain chemical data from these rocks suggests that life may have existed then, this evidence is open to different interpretations, and no one has found fossils that old.
As the bombardment of early Earth slowed, conditions on the planet were extremely different from those today. The first atmosphere was probably thick with water vapor, along with various compounds released by volcanic eruptions, including nitrogen and its oxides, carbon dioxide, methane, ammonia, hydrogen, and hydrogen sulfide. As Earth cooled, the water vapor condensed into oceans, and much of the hydrogen quickly escaped into space.
In the 1920’s, Russian chemist A.I. Oparin and British scientist J.B.S. Haldane independently postulated that Earth’s early atmosphere had been a reducing (electron-adding) anvironment, in which organic compounds could have formed from simple molecules. The energy for this organic synthesis could have come from lightning and intense UV radiation. Halodane suggested that the early oceans were a solution of organic molecules, a ‘primitive soup’ from which life arose. In 1953, Stanley Miller and Harold Urey, of the University of Chicago, tested the Oparin-Haldane model hypothesis by creating laboratory conditions comparable to those that scientists thought existed on early Earth. Their apparatus yielded a variety of amino acids that are found in organisms today, along with other organic compounds. Many laboratories have since repeated the experiment using different recipes for the atmosphere. Organic compounds were also produced in some of these modified models. However, it is unclear whether young Earth’s atmosphere contained enough methane and ammonia to be reducing. Growing evidence suggests that the early atmosphere was made up primarily of nitrogen and carbon dioxide and was neither reducing nor oxidizing (electron moving). Miller-Urey-type experiments using such atmospheres have not produced organic molecules. Still, it is likely that small “pockets” of the early atmosphere – perhaps near volcanic openings – were reducing. Instead of forming in the atmosphere, the first organic compounds on Earth may have been synthesized near submerged volcanoes and deep-sea vents- weak points in the Earth’s crust where hot water and minerals gush into the ocean. These regions are also rich in inorganic sulfur and iron compounds, which are imporant in ATP synthesis by present-day organisms.”
