Well, you never know.... Title: UV light may have sparked life on Earth Ultra-violet light, long thought to be an impediment to the early formation of long organic molecules, may in fact hold the key to the origin of life, according to a new study.

But a new mathematical model implies the radiation actually helped select out the molecular seeds of life. Full story he http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99993778 k30a |
