Assuming that biology is earth-like in nature.
Would it shred an angel apart?
Everything ever stated by anyone is absolutely untrue.
It’s a lot easier to believe that an intelligent Creator did it all, than to believe we just happened by accident..................
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.
Hulk smash puny Gamma Radiation Humans!
Totally false statements, utter garbage.
Improbability<>impossibility.
But thanks for playing. We have some lovely parting gifts.
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.
It doesn't "eliminate the possibility". At most, it reduces the probability, which is a very different thing.
Gamma ray busts are evidently fairly rare. One would have to happen fairly near to the Earth to have much effect.
Gamma rays would have to penetrate the atmosphere to have any effect on humans, and would have to penetrate quite a bit of water to wipe out "all" life on earth.
Passing through six thousand inches(500 feet) of air is enough to cut the level of gamma in half. To get from 30,000 feet up, to ground level, it would go through (very roughly) 60 reductions-by-half (and yes I know that the air at 30K is thinner than ground, but we're also talking about the whole atmosphere, so bear with me). 2^60 is about 10^18, a level of attenuation which is going to reduce the gamma level to a tiny amount.
