Last Change Lake is the evolutionists source of life

What is the “Last Chance Lake? It is  a shallow, extremely salty pool of water with an unusual chemistry. The lake has phosphate concentrations 1,000 times higher than the ocean, making it a modern analog

Evolution believing scientist say that it has been around 4 billion years ago. ”Phosphate is an essential ingredient to make nucleotides — the building blocks of DNA and RNA — and other life-forming compounds, such as lipids. Although phosphate is bound up in every living being, the element by itself is scarce in nature.”

"Someone coined the phrase 'the phosphate problem' for the origin of life, which is that you need a lot of phosphate for these reactions," Sebastian Haas, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at the University of Washington, told Live Science. "The second part of the problem is that phosphate is usually low in the environment, and the only real exception we know are these kinds of lakes."

 Last Chance Lake is one of several so-called "soda lakes" — lakes that have high levels of dissolved sodium and carbonate. That makes them similar to bowls of water containing large amounts of dissolved baking soda. This chemical makeup enables these lakes to have high concentrations of phosphate.”

So some evolution believing scientist say that it may have given life on Earth.
