While investigating the chemical make-up of comets, Prof. Akiva Bar-Nun of the Department of Geophysics and Planetary Sciences at Tel Aviv University found they were the source of missing ingredients needed for life in Earth's ancient primordial soup. "When comets slammed into the Earth through the atmosphere about four billion years ago, they delivered a payload of organic materials to the young Earth, adding materials that combined with Earth's own large reservoir of organics and led to the emergence of life," says Prof. Bar-Nun.

Comet Hale Bopp. Comets have always fascinated us. A mysterious appearance could symbolize God's displeasure or mean a sure failure in battle, at least for one side. Now new research justifies our fascination -- comets might have provided the elements for the emergence of life on our planet. (Credit: iStockphoto/Michael Puerzer)

:’D But all the survivors will have quite a tail.
Man, these guys are really reaching. They will go to just about any lengths to prove their religion.
They have all the answers but yet cannot even answer the most basic questions on the orgins of life.
In a word?
No.
From space debris to complex living organisms. It’s all so easy to see.
The comets giveth and taketh away...
In the beginning, Earth was formless and primordial, and the Great Comet moved upon the face of the soup.
Not exactly.
And God said, “Let the waters move and bring forth the creature that hath life”
Gen 1:20
I'm sure that for a few people, that is probably true. They had a pretty spacious back seat.

That applies to the Young Earth Creationists on this board as well.
Satire is lost upon you, apparently.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
We have a winna!!!
All I did was quote a scripture that says life began in the waters.
If you don’t care for the message, don’t attack the messenger.
The Bible itself tells us that over the days of creation, new forms of life appeared.
A fact that is almost totally ignored on any of these threads.
That applies to the Young Earth Creationists on this board as well.
Get him to explain how he got matter from absolute nothingness and then we’ll talk about the comets.
