      No matter how neutral we try to be, we always end up using language suggesting that life was somehow _trying_ to come into being - as if _will_ enters the picture, but there can be no "will" without mind or consciousness. Hence, repeatedly, circumstances worked to allow life to begin, then morph, endure something impossible, then morph again, until at last a super creature appeared, the cherry on top of the earth cake - homo sapien s.
      At least we seem to think we're god's magnum opus. This elusive chemical spark that gave birth to life is perhaps the only thing that keeps me believing in a creator, but not worshipping said Creator, b/c he made His babies and walked out, such the Dead Beat that he must be - brilliant scientists though - an emotionless savant of a god.

      I prefer to enjoy marvels rather than quibble. This video series is unbelievably beautiful, from the depth of knowledge to the stories to the photography to the wonderful narration. I can't think of a better series for teaching this scientific subject that I have ever seen. Likewise, I prefer to enjoy all the life around me. Life is rich and ancient, how ancient we don't even know. Is there hard evidence of a creator? No. Is there hard evidence of the non-existence of a creator that lurks somewhere, somewhen in the multiverse? No, there isn't.
      You declare "the only thing that keeps me believing in a creator, but not worshipping said Creator, b/c he made His babies and walked out, such the Dead Beat that he must be." What is your scientifically demonstrable evidence that the creator hasn't been watching over us and working with this planet literally for billions of years? It doesn't exist, just as there currently is no scientifically accepted evidence of life on other worlds. Declare that there is definitely no life anywhere else in the universe, and people will consider you illogical and almost certainly a nut job. Declare that there definitely is no loving creator that continues to guide this world and people think you're "edgy." I submit that both declarations are equally unscientific.

      english spelling is entirely bullshit so honestly it doesn't ultimately matter. It's an ungodly amalgamation of a half dozen languages and enjoys playing fast and loose with its own rules in the most pedantic fashion,and is constantly evolving and changing in ways that make older pedants extremely butthurt. it is chaos and emotion squished into a bowl of duct tape spaghetti so elaborate that command of it requires acknowledgement of how utterly absurd it is, and yet enables exquisite tapestries to be woven of its syllabic symphonies.

    But one thing that brings me back to reality, is the fact i used my lack of identity and hyper activity to learn… and I grew. I’m someone who knows how to adapt and evolve. And I always loved videos like these because THEY ARE JUST AMAZING AND LOVELY AND EDUCATIONAL- sorry. It’s like food for my constantly wondering brain!

    This was pretty interesting especially the section on the shipwrecks that are remarkably well preserved by the anaerobic nature of the Black Sea's depths.
    I recall seeing, quite a few years ago, a National Geographic documentary featuring Dr. Robert Ballard of Titanic fame as he discovered one of these shipwrecks and marveled at its state of preservation.
    Perhaps it won't be possible to answer this question here but have any of these vessels been brought to the surface for preservation and/or further study?

    • @noeldenever

      TED-Ed made a video about this around 3 months ago, check it out. The ships are too fragile to be brought up. And exposing them to oxygen in the surface can't be beneficial, since it's the anoxic condition that preserves them in the first place. We can only take samples and leave them where they are. Such a fascinating study.

    Is this the same thing that resulted in the telluric iron deposit in Greenland? You mentioned minerals dividing up and flowing towards the surface, and I know that elemental iron is extremely rare, IIRC that one deposit is the only telluric iron deposit known, with the vast majority being mineralized rust from the Great Oxygenation.
