Life on Earth may have begun with a
flash of lightning.
According to evolutionists, the answer to how we got
the phosphorus it needed to make the first DNA and
RNA molecules might be in the sky. A new
study, lead by Benjamin
Hess, a graduate student at Yale University's Department of Earth and Planetary
Sciences said that "Lightning strikes may have therefore played a role in
providing phosphoros . …we show for
the first time that lightning strikes were likely a significant source of
reactive phosphorus on Earth around the time that life formed 3.5 billion to 4.5 billion years ago,"
Phosphorus
(P) is one of our planet’s general chemical elements. Without it we would not
have RNA , DNA
and our ATP, and thus we would not
have life.
Just recently, we heard
that life could start on Venus, which was later proved to be false.
