If you say so. I just find it fascinating that there is an organism that breathes iron and lives in 250 degree water.

suggests that all life on earth may have originated from a microbe that breathed iron

And much animal life as we know it still depends on varying oxidations states of iron, one atom in every molecule of haemoglobin.

Excellent book "Oxygen: The Molecule That Made the World" by Nick Lane - related to this topic. (Not for Creationists - uses evil evolution premise)

Doesn't look like oxidation to me, but I'll await expert opinion.

The primary reason for posting science threads is to keep supernaturalists entertained? In my case it's because I find them interesting.
