The statement "An exploration of how photosynthesis makes life on Earth possible" is grating, scientifically.
Photosynthesis makes PRESENT life on Earth possible. However, life's genesis and its long initial evolution "were made possible" long prior to the evolution of photosynthesis:
"Life Genesis, formation of first genes, was a phenomenon of serendipitous occurrence, in a supportive environment, of 'favourably-directed' energy potential between in-coming sun's radiation and polymerizing RNA-related oligomeric configuration."
