Who's got the recipe for Primordal soup?

Question

I want to know why it's called soup?

The theory is that "it rained on the rocks for millions of years and turned them into soup"!

When I mix rock dust and rain I get mud.

Shouldn't it say "It rained on the rocks for millions of years and turned them into mud pies"?

It makes more sense, doesn't it? It's a heck of alot more accurate.

Plus, it would be easier to remember for exams. You have M.U.D.= Man Under Development.

Answer 1

Two cups of fine porciline clay.
One cup mineral water.
Stir clay and water together until you get the consistency of pea soup, add a little more water if you need to thin it out. Put clay soup mixture in a crock like pot. Now stir in one cup of live bacteria yogurt until blended. Keep at room temperture until the next severe lightening storm comes along. Place mud outside with lid off, and wait for lightening to hit.

Answer 2

It's called a soup because of all the proteins etc in it. Besides which mud is a very loose term for dirt and water considering you have all the minerals from the rocks that broke down to form the dirt, all the detritus that fell and decomposed into the dirt, and of course all human debris and waste that may be added.
The soup bit might also have to do with the fact scientists believe the earth was a heck of a lot hotter when life first began to form.

"The recipe for primordial soup

1) Take the ingredients for life and mix together to make a primordial soup

2) Add energy

3) The ingredients will react together, forming a variety of complex molecules

4) Wait for these molecules to reproduce themselves and life has begun



What is primordial soup?


The seas of the early Earth are often referred to as the 'primordial soup'. They contained a cocktail of simple chemicals, with all the ingredients for life.


To find out if there is life in the Universe, it's useful to look at how it began here on Earth. Follow our step-by-step recipe to see how life started.

1) Mix ingredients

For life to evolve, simple molecules have to combine to form more complex ones. This mixing would have happened in the seas of the early Earth, often called the 'primordial soup'.

2) Add energy

Next you need energy. This may have come from lightning storms or hot underwater springs. This injection of energy sparked chemical reactions. These simple molecules began joining to form larger, more complex ones, called 'amino acids'.

In a classic experiment in 1953, Stanley Miller and Harold Urey recreated the primordial soup in the laboratory. By passing electricity through a mixture of simple molecules, they were able to make amino acids.

3) Form complex molecules

Amino acids then joined together end-to-end to form long, chain-like molecules, known as proteins. Proteins are essential for building a living creature. They are involved in the formation of just about everything in your body, from the colour of your skin to the layout of neurons in your brain.

4) Wait for life to reproduce

Another complex molecule that was formed during these reactions was DNA. DNA has an amazing characteristic that makes it essential for life - it can reproduce itself. It also carries all the code to make a living creature."

The problem seems to be that someone has to mix these things together in a certain way ....

Answer 4
