A Weird Paper Tests The Limits of Science by Claiming Octopuses Came From Space

Space junk comes in hot. Organic molecules wouldn’t survive the descent.

“With grammar issues.
I thought it wasn’t “Octopuses”
I thought it was “Octopi””

Octopodes? The word has Greek origins...

[GingisK]

Yes, true. The Bible, however, did not describe the methods used in Creation. It was written so that people in the BC could understand it.

[TangoLimaSierra]

I believe what you got there is a Cuttlefish.

[Red Badger]

Yes, they are cousins...................

[plain talk]

“”Comets are the carriers and distributors of life in the cosmos, and life on Earth arose and developed as a result of cometary inputs.””

Even if that were true one is left with the question of where did the original life come from.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Yes, they are cousins...................

So are the shrew and the elephant.

[Carriage Hill]

That’s what I thought.
Unless they’re buried deep inside, and in a form from another planet’s civilization, which would be impervious to heat or impact.
Who knows?

[GingisK]

Maybe they arrive as dust, and just flitter for a landing.

[Carriage Hill]

That very well could be. I’d think by now the downed and recovered meteorites would have been dissected for foreign elements/dust/organisms. Maybe they have been.

...I think it is not that far fetched and a more valid theory than complex life appearing from nothing.

There has to be a start somewhere. The Comet theory just moves the issue of where life started off Earth somewhere and makes the issue of how life began even harder to unravel.

Life is essentially self replicating information. Given that definition we've already seen the birth of life here on Earth: the Computer Virus. It was not meant to be a form of life , it was an accidental side effect of devious programmers. Imagine it, a silicon based form of life that lives on electricity! Good thing it has not become as adept as other living things (so far!).

The point is you can never know in advance all the clever ways nature will create life.

[Trillian]

It’s more believable than this covid pandemic bullshit.

[SunkenCiv]

There's a sucker born every minute, and two born to take him. Thanks Red Badger.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Red Badger. A panspermia topic. BTW, chicken tastes like octopus.

Ohmyakinbak.

If it’s all the same to youse guys, I’d like to appropriate this for the first thread of the new year. I mean, what can go wrong?

‘Face

:o|

[Red Badger]

[Monkey Face]

Yeah, see...

I can’t enlarge that enough to see what’s got her, but stupid should hurt like that.

[Red Badger]

She took a dare to put a LIVE octopus upon her face.

The octopus did not cooperate..........

For those who don’t know, an octopus has a BEAK and can bite.............
