Source of Life Discovered

According to Paul Falkowski, professor of biogeochemistry and bio-physics at Rutgers University in New Jersey, life on earth began 1.9 billion years ago with amoeba-like organisms absorbing bacteria and subsequently evolving into plants, animals and day time talk show hosts. This analysis begs a few questions:

1) Where did the amoeba-like organisms come from?
2) Where did the bacteria come from?
3) Where did the sun come from?
4) In an age when no one can accurately predict the weather a week from now, I'm supposed to believe that someone has ascertained the activities of amoeba and bacteria 2 billion years ago and I am to further believe that this interaction led to all life on earth?

I find it just as easy to believe in the Matrix.
