Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorous are the basic building blocks of all life on earth. So we thought. Scientists have discovered a bacteria in California that has arsenic instead of phosphorous as a basic component. Where did this bacteria come from if all life evolved from the same organism?

Second Genesis on Earth?
Here's what I think...
This news is intriguing because if there is a life-form that is fundamentally different from all other life on earth, it could be argued that all life did not evolve from a single organism. There is plenty of evidence that life evolves and adapts, but the evidence that a single-celled life-form just appeared by happenstance one day and from it came all other life is a theory. It's a brilliant theory and one I would subscribe to if I did not believe in God. I respect and enjoy science, but I wonder why whenever science discovers that evolution does not explain Everything, people go to even more extraordinary lengths to deny an intelligent creator?
