Assuming that biology is earth-like in nature.
Would it shred an angel apart?

It’s a lot easier to believe that an intelligent Creator did it all, than to believe we just happened by accident..................

Wouldn't a CRB only wipe out life on at most half the planet?

According to the site we should not even be able to detect Gamma Ray bursts as the closest one detected is 130 MM light years away. But I know the answer to that is the science behind measuring distances across the universe is somehow bunk too.

Hehe...I remember when you first posted that vid here years ago. Good stuff.
"Wait until you see the end" you said.

“For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.”

From the article this is based on:
“There is a very good chance (but no certainty) that at least one lethal GRB took place during the past 5 Gyr close enough to Earth as to significantly damage life. There is a 50% chance that such a lethal GRB took place during the last 500 Myr causing one of the major mass extinction events.”
“Lethal” is defined as “life-threatening (lethal) GRB”. It does not mean to kill every living thing, only able to kill something.
The ICR article says this:
“Two astronomers, Hebrew University of Jerusalem’s Tsvi Piran and University of Barcelona’s Raul Jimenez, found that GRBs should have repeatedly sterilized most places in the universe, every so often annihilating any chemical concoction that may have been headed toward life. The new report appears in the online repository arXiv.org.2”
The article by the astronomers says nothing like that.
