Algae

Algae are photosynthesizing orga-
nisms that live everywhere: in both fresh
and salt water, desert sand, underground
hot springs, and even under snow and
ice. They vary in shape and size, from
single-celled organisms to kelp up to 60
meters (196.85 feet) long. . By their
photosynthesizing, they break down
CO and release a large amount of the
2
oxygen into the atmosphere. R Red algae fossils dating back to the e

But two factors show this explanati-
years ago. How algae came to be is one
on to be false: First, the theory of evolu-

the first plant cell came into being. And,

second, algae do not have the primitive
algae and for this reason, the algae are a
structure one would expect. On the con-

trary, they are complex organisms who-
se living examples are indifferent from
the earliest fossils known.
An article in Science News explains
the similarity between the first algae and
algae known today:
Both blue-green algae and bacteria fossils
dating back 3.4 billion years have been fo-
und in rocks from S. Africa. Even more in-
triguing, the pleurocapsalean algae tur-
ned out to be almost identical to modern
pleurocapsalean algae at the family and
possibly even at the generic level. 6

Hoimar Von Ditfurth, makes the follo-
