Do you remember when scientists first decided that we’d all come from primordial ooze? Well that theory has been overturned.

Today the ‘soup’ theory has been overturned in a pioneering paper in BioEssays which claims it was the Earth’s chemical energy, from hydrothermal vents on the ocean floor, which kick-started early life.

That theory bears as little resemblance to the theory of Creationism as it’s predecessor.

And do you remember the theory that we all came from primates? Science still backs that theory over Creationism, too.
