Gamma-Ray Bursts Limit Life in Universe
by Brian Thomas, M.S. *
What are the odds that life somehow self-generated? Many experiments have shown that the likelihood of just the right chemicals combining by chance in just the right proportions, orientations, and sequences to form even the simplest cell on Earth is so close to zero that some origin-of-life researchers have punted the possibility to some distant unknown planet.1 But a new study of gamma-ray burst frequency estimates has eliminated the possibility of life on other planets.
Astronomers have witnessed gamma-ray bursts (GRBs)—lasting from just fractions of a millisecond to several minutes—as the brightest explosions in the universe. The blasts' lethal energy output shreds any nearby biological molecules, whether in a functioning organism or somewhere in a planet's environment.

It doesn’t even REDUCE the possibility of life on other planets.
Apparently, with God all things are possible... except the creation of a life form that can survive gamma radiation. That’s right out.
Cosmic speed bumps.
