Faint Sun Paradox - 3 of 3

For your consideration...the following is an excerpt from a radio spot on KAPL radio, Jacksonville, Oregon, called " Akin For the Truth". To listen to the entire spot (a few minutes long), click the little microphone icon....Jack

According to all the physics we know today, the evolution of the sun requires that it was too cold for life to form billions of years ago. How do evolutionists resolve this paradox?

It may be helpful to recall that evolutionists theorize that, on early Earth, life forms, like microscopic algae, are supposed to have introduced free oxygen into the air and regulated the amount of other gases. The original atmosphere on Earth, say they, was a reducing atmosphere. The term "reducing��? is used to describe chemical reactions containing free hydrogen. Originally, they postulated an atmosphere consisting of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), carbon monoxide (CO), ammonia (NH3), free hydrogen and water vapor. Newer schemes exclude ammonia and methane. This is certainly topic for another discussion.

So as new forms of life evolved, the mix of gases in Earth's atmosphere gradually changed. Carl Sagan, among others, proposed that the early atmosphere contained a greater amount of greenhouse gases (such as methane) than today, and that this would have produced average temperatures close to those today, even with a much fainter Sun. As the Sun gradually increased in luminosity, Earth's atmosphere is supposed to have evolved along with it, so that the amount of greenhouse gases have slowly decreased to compensate for the increasing solar luminosity.
