Confirm? Evidence? Sounds like they’re trying to “prove” something.
I forgot “We believe”.
How is it that anybody can confirm that something may have happened? Is this what passes for science anymore? No wonder. Call us post-scientific.
Oh boy.
That’s great.
I love reading about these scientifically validated hypothetically conjectured guesses. They are so...scientific.
A Scientific Fad.
Scientists?
How can we call them scientists if they can confirm something that is at odds with all physical evidence?
propagandists is what they are.
Well, there goes the Great Spaghetti Monster theory.
1 in 10^39.99999 as opposed to 1 in 10^40?
Assuming the meteorite wasn't contaminated by landing on earth (in which every living organism makes uracil), assuming the molecules on a meteorite could survive the burning and crash landing, assuming that the meteorites were a significant source of biomolecular precursors that somehow didn't or couldn't form in significant amounts on Earth, I might be inclined to listen to them.
That is a lot of assumptions. A physicist once asked someone who made a hypothesis that fit (a bit too close) to his observations “How many parameters?” “Four” the guy admitted “Give me four parameters and I can fit an elephant! Five and I can make him wiggle his trunk.”
The formation of biological molecules spontaneously is not a problem, and we needn't invoke the ‘great cosmic life contamination’. Getting them to metabolize energy in order to replicate their structures is something else entirely.
Another case of pagan scientists defying the Creator of the universe.......I have read the last chapter......science boys lose!
It does NOT say that life came from outside of the Earth, and it does NOT say that genetic material came from outside of the Earth. It says that material from outside of the Earth MAY have been useful in the process that led to the appearance of life on Earth.
However, I expect the headlines to say “Science confirms extraterrestrial origin of life”.
...Or maybe it came from God.
But what do I know? I’m an ignorant, gun-toting bitter Bible-thumping white Christian male.
Science is diametrically opposed to Christianity? You cannot be a scientist and a Christian?
Scientist cannot confirm anything and qualify it for a “may” possibility. If it is confirmed, it means that it is is confirmed. There is no “may”. I personally will take God at his word and believe no matter what scientists confirm. They once confirmed the earth was flat.
Psalm 121
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
My belief ... and a token ... gets me a ride to WalMart on the county transit.
