  Eden One - Yes basically that is correct as I understand it. Life arose in an anaerobic world. Oxygen was a toxic waste product of photosynthesis by cyanobacteria. Lucky for us.

  Vidqun - You are not in a position to be insulting anybody.

  Feel free to believe what you want - Vidqun

  That is your problem right there. Choosing your beliefs is dumb.

  Follow the evidence and your "beliefs" will take care of themselves. All of your objections to evolution are based on wilful ignorance.

  You started with your superstitious conclusion.

  Update: Images Now Served in WebP Format

  by Simon in

  1. forum
  2. announcements

  i've pushed an update to the image handling so they are now served using the webp format if the requesting browser supports it.

  currently that is chrome, opera and android mobile but safari is adding support in the next version and there's hope that firefox and edge will get on board soon.. read more about webp.

  webp is a newer image format that can replace jpeg, gif and png but with much better compression rates for the same quality.

  Vidqun it is not unreasonable to expect a professional microbiologist to have a basic knowledge of science. On many occasions you have displayed a staggering ignorance of simple facts.

  Eden - The atmosphere of the earth 4 billion years ago contained no oxygen therefore the composition of the oceans was also quite different. Modern vents are also teeming with existing lifeforms.

  Life will not likely arise a second time on earth. However each of the steps to life is being investigated in labs all over the world.

  For almost 2 billion years there were only morphologically simple pokaryotes. If life is discovered on other planets it will probably be bacterial.

  Redpill the easiest source for information on phylogeny is probably Dawkins' "The Ancestors Tale".

  Phylogenetic evidence can be found with a Google search and fossil evidence in Prothero's book.
