How Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Affected Hadean Oceans at the Start of Life!

The amount of carbon dioxide has undoubtedly increased in the last hundred years-thanks to the activities of man. The amazing thing, about this problem, is that the content of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is just 0.0391% (as of 10/2012). This amazingly small amount of carbon dioxide in the air is enough to cause the acidification of todays oceans. This small acidification of the oceans is still such that it is causing havoc on thousands of coral colonies by bleaching them and keeping millions of plankton from forming complete skeletons. This small amount of carbon dioxide is still large enough to have a major impact on life in the oceans today.  Life is impacted despite being self-contained organisms with membranes; impacted despite having mechanisms to maintain their internal pH; impacted despite there being a fully oxygenated atmosphere. Would it not then stand to reason, that a larger amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere on the prebiotic Earth would have had ...

How Life Started by Emergent Chemical Evolution.

It took millions of collisions and this is not Panspermia. Panspermia is the introduction of already living Life forms to Earth from Space.  Meteorites colliding with Earth, delivering amino acids, and combining them is the way Life started on Earth!! Let me explain: The reason no one but myself has solved this problem; is that people can't see the forest for the trees!  1. ALL BIOLOGICAL molecules made in CELLS-- BEGIN with AMINO ACIDS!! 2. What does life use to make things happen? Proteins.  3. What are proteins made of? Amino Acids.  4. Why are amino acids good to make proteins? They self-assemble into repeatable structures spontaneously.  5. Where can amino acids be found? Every comet, asteroid, and meteorite. 6. How did the volatile elements(water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen gas) get to earth? The heavy bombardment.  7. What have recent experiments have shown about comet impacts? That instead of breaking them down they unite amino acids into pol...
