Everything is set up. It freaks me out. Amino acids and a lot of CO2 due to volcanoes makes phytoplankton.
It does???

The sky is red??? Looks pretty blue to me. Do [you] mean at [sunset]? That has to do with the angle of light reaching you and how much atmosphere is has to travel through (and therefore, how much scattering occurs). And enough sulfur in the atmosphere to change the color? I doubt it. Our atmosphere is about 78% molecular nitrogen, 21% molecular oxygen, 1% argon, and 0.03% carbon dioxide.
And since photosynthesis as we find it today is the product of billions or years of evolution, it is little wonder that we would find it tuned as it is.
