On one of the space pings, someone figured out that our Voyager spacecraft, launched in the ‘70’s, would take just short of 100K years to reach Alpha Centari, the closest star outside of our solar system at present speed had they been aimed for an intercept course.
I find it hard to believe anything would survive the time, vacuum, cold and radiation for anything approaching that amount of time.
Mhmmm. Until life gets created out of nothing (impossible) in a science lab, you can chalk all of this up to impotent speculation. Real science is based upon observation, can be duplicated, and is refutable. Anything and EVERYTHING related to a time before we can observe, and have no record of, is pure fabrication, a big, fat, whopping lie, scientifically. This mumbo jumbo, and all other theories of evolution are mere scripture from the liberal church of the godless.
