It took billions not millions, and the keyword is Cyanobacteria
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19384943 Oh... so plants lived billions of years unable to synthesize proteins, and didn't starve out?
they probably got their energy needs through some other source, until a mutation that allowed some plants to take in sunlight as well. over time, photosynthesis became so effective that the plants bred out the need for the other source
Hey now! You go trying that rational thinking with this stupid narrow-minded churchy and you're likely to end up just as crazy as he is...
Yes, DGN, there is actually an imaginary being that thinks the earth is his own little etch-a-sketch. He's very interested in politics...but only U.S. politics...and money...he seems very fond of money too...give! give! GIVE!!!
How much have you given lately, DGN? you blasphemous lil sinner you!
Really, is that what this means?
"Why have the nations been in tumult
And the national groups themselves kept muttering an empty thing?
2 The kings of earth take their stand
And high officials themselves have massed together as one
Against Jehovah and against his anointed one,
3 [Saying:] “Let us tear their bands apart
And cast their cords away from us!”
4 The very One sitting in the heavens will laugh;
Jehovah himself will hold them in derision.
5 At that time he will speak to them in his anger
And in his hot displeasure he will disturb them,
6 [Saying:] “I, even I, have installed my king
Upon Zion, my holy mountain.”
7 Let me refer to the decree of Jehovah;
He has said to me: “You are my son;
I, today, I have become your father.
8 Ask of me, that I may give nations as your inheritance
And the ends of the earth as your own possession.
9 You will break them with an iron scepter,
As though a potter’s vessel you will dash them to pieces.”
10 And now, O kings, exercise insight;
Let yourselves be corrected, O judges of the earth.
11 Serve Jehovah with fear
And be joyful with trembling.
12 Kiss the son, that He may not become incensed
And YOU may not perish [from] the way,
For his anger flares up easily.
Happy are all those taking refuge in him.' Ps2:1
