Description:
Energy from the sun needs a mechanism to convert and direct energy to life processes but life processes are needed to be in place from the start to facilitate energy conversion to useful life energy. Photosynthesis is the extremely complex process that is critical to be fully functioning at the beginning before all other life could exist since all animal life depends on plants for all metabolic processes. This process is critical for plant metabolism itself! How could plants metabolize nutrients and carbon dioxide to develop without photosynthesis? No evolutionary answer for another un-answerable ‘Chicken and Egg’ problem. Did this process evolve concurrently with animal life over millions of years?
