  • The English is fine, but the science is not very good. 1) The primordial soup is an outdated concept related to the origin of life. The "soup" would not have been concentrated enough for molecules to react. Local regions, such as near hydrothermal vents or pools of water on land that dried and refilled, are far more likely. 2) At least five times the video implies that there are two types of life: plants and animals. There are others, and in fact, plants and animals combined make up far far less than half of the life on Earth. Bacteria alone outnumber all plants and animals combined. 3) Organic here does not mean related to life (especially not plants and animals, again), but rather it means that molecules or compounds are based on carbon atoms. The molecules the scientist mentioned, such as methanol, are carbon-containing compounds with hydrogen atoms too ... they are organic molecules. 4) Unless we go back to the pre-scientific days of alchemy, water does not have a chemical symbol. It has a chemical formula, H2O. H is a chemical symbol (for hydrogen) and O is a chemical symbol (for oxygen).
