The first cells the creation angels made were Archaebacteria and these were seeded primarily onto solid-liquid interfaces and often formed stromatolites at favorable sites throughout the sea about 3.6 billion years ago. These early organisms functioned as miniature organic synthetic factories to build up supplies of complex organic molecules.
Angels have substantial bodies that are not made with material from the physical world, therefore they could exist and work under water as easily as on the land.
Today there are four types of these first organisms: [1] autotrophic, [2] thermophilic, [3] methanogenic, and [4] halophilic archaebacteria. All of them can live in harsh, largely inorganic environments and require only small amounts of organic nutrients for growth.
1. Autotrophic bacteria require mainly inorganic molecules and can use carbon dioxide as their sole carbon source and some types can obtain energy through oxidation of sulfur instead of oxygen.
2. Thermophils grow best at higher temperatures than other life forms and the environmental heat assists in driving synthetic reactions. The angels placed these organisms near hydrothermal vents where they carried out chemosynthesis by harvesting energy from the hot water.
3. Methanogenic bacteria are autotrophs that oxidize hydrogen (the most abundant element in the universe) using carbon dioxide as an electron acceptor to form methane, the simplest organic molecule.
4. Halophils are organisms that grow best in a high salt environment, some of which possess a pigmented membrane that is capable of light-dependent ATP (the high energy molecule necessary to drive all reactions to synthesize biological molecules) generation under microaerophilic (low oxygen) conditions. Something similar to these were probably the first photosynthetic organisms.
The fundamental functions that had to be performed by these first organisms were to:
Formation of hydrocarbons from carbon dioxide or carbonates,
Reduction of nitrogen so that it could be bonded with hydrocarbons to form amines,
And generation of high-energy molecules to which are necessary to drive synthetic reactions.
These first organisms eventually produced conditions into which the two major lineages of life could be seeded. These were: the prokaryotes (“ordinary” bacteria), and eukaryotes. Eukaryotes include protists (single celled organisms like amoebas algae, diatoms and a few multicellular forms such as kelp), fungi (including mushrooms and yeast), plants, and animals.
