Hi Mr. Fazala, how are you?

00:09.000 --> 00:10.000
Fine, thank you.

00:10.000 --> 00:19.000
I have some questions about your field, bacteria, biolaminasase, etc.

00:19.000 --> 00:23.000
So, should we start?

00:23.000 --> 00:29.000
My first question is, how do bacteria produce energy through photosynthesis?

00:29.000 --> 00:39.000
Yeah, well, photosynthesis is a very elaborate process that bacteria and other organisms use to generate energy.

00:39.000 --> 00:57.000
And it's essentially light impinging upon the bacterial chlorophyll molecules that then convert that light energy into chemical energy through a process of what are called the light reactions and the dark reactions.

00:57.000 --> 01:07.000
And one of the things that's really interesting is that these photosynthetic bacteria are probably some of the most complex bacteria in the world.

01:07.000 --> 01:19.000
And it looks as if their origin happened very, very early in the history of the Earth, that these bacteria show up suddenly without any kind of history.

01:19.000 --> 01:21.000
They're among the first life forms on the planet.

01:21.000 --> 01:25.000
And that is a profound mystery for evolutionary biologists.

01:25.000 --> 01:29.000
How do we explain that early appearance of bacteria?

01:29.000 --> 01:31.000
How old is this bacteria?

01:31.000 --> 01:37.000
The oldest photosynthetic bacteria very well may be about 3.8 billion years old.

01:37.000 --> 01:43.000
And that's interestingly enough about the first point in the Earth's history when life would be possible.

01:43.000 --> 01:47.000
So that is a profound mystery.

01:47.000 --> 01:53.000
How could these bacteria appear that quickly from an evolutionary standpoint?

01:53.000 --> 02:02.000
But for me as a creationist, I see this as very powerful evidence that there had to be a creator that introduced these very first bacteria on Earth.

02:02.000 --> 02:03.000
I see.

02:03.000 --> 02:04.000
So, can't it matter.

02:04.000 --> 02:05.000
Go take it, go.

02:05.000 --> 02:06.000
Go take it, go!

02:06.000 --> 02:07.000
OK.
