Bacteria trapped for “millions of years” under Antarctic ice

by Carl Wieland

Published: 23 April 2009

Science news sites are abuzz with the discovery of an ecosystem trapped under an Antarctic glacier for an alleged time of “at least 1.5 million years”.[1]

It was not that long ago that the world of science believed that nothing could survive in an environment that was not only near freezing, but totally dark and lacking oxygen...

And then it learned that was incorrect. Thats the "science" part of science. It changes based on the facts.

Unlike GoofGuffSpam, who keeps up the same blitherings forever like a broken record.

Does this website have a point to make? Is it that, by “proving” science wrong, God is somehow stronger? LOL.

My God uses evolution to build His world.

Then your god is Darwood’s pagan natural selection god.

And your god seems to be a small little vindictive desert tribal god.

Shows you how much you know. My God created the Universe and everything in it...including you. But that won’t necessarily stop you from pouring milk over your Darwin idols, because Jesus Christ also created you with a free will.

Its point is to show its pride in using such a narrow sliver of the informational spectrum.

PS Darwood’s fanciful creation myth is not science. It is a materialistic historical inference about the unobservable, unrepeatable past. As such, it is a religion that requires faith (as many Evos freely admit).

So you're saying that the YEC belief if just that, a belief, faith, having no basis in facts?

They’re never going to listen, you know. Their hearts are hardened, and they’ve managed to utterly convince themselves that the plain teachings of the Bible are really code for Darwin’s teachings. That is, the ones that even believe in the Bible at all.

Frogs don’t hibernate for “millions” of years, and those vents are not “near freezing” (and the life supported by those vents was only first discovered in the late 1970s).

What’s wrong with natural selection if nature is created by God?

Creationist ignorance on parade.

Scientists have known about anoxyic organisms for ages. So the statement that scientists didn't know life was possible without oxygen is another ridiculous strawman.

In fact, dealing with oxygen is a significant problem for living systems. To many of the most primitive and simple life forms oxygen is pure poison.

I am sure the rest of the article betrays a similar ABJECT IGNORANCE of biology.

According to you, your god created a tiny little universe only a few thousand years old and rigged it so that we can’t use our brains to actually figure it out.

My God, created a vast universe, billions of years old, so constructed that over that period by the laws he created we came into being able to reason and wonder at the majesty of it all. And I claim Christ for my God and his wonderful creation.

You should know by now that only GGG’s interpretation of God is the correct one. He’s far more intelligent and enlightened than the rest of us.
