Did Life Originate Underwater?

TuringTest writes "Sciencedaily reports a highly controversial new theory about the origins of life from Professor William Martin of the University of Dusseldorf and Dr Michael Russell of the Scottish Environmental Research Centre in Glasgow. The theory briefly states that inorganic cells where first, then living systems evolved inside these incubators which allowed an enough rich micro-environment. The small compartments would have been formed in iron sulphide rocks near hot, hydrothermal vents on the sea floor, not in the atmosphere. Wow, that would answer the chicken-egg problem."

Chicken and Egg Problem

That problem was solved a long time ago.

It was the chicken, because that is what God Created!

Point remains: if it did come from Mars, you'd have to figure out how it got there, too. Occam's Razor.
