The very laughable idea that SARS came from outer space shows just how idiotic the "scientist of this world" really are.Don't judge all of us just because there are a handful of crackpots in our profession. Most of us are pretty well grounded in reality; we wouldn't become scientists otherwise. Besides, you can't claim that the well-established theory of evolution is bogus just because some crackpot claims that SARS came from outer space. If you can make a claim like that, may I make the claim that all religion is bogus because some crackpots once claimed that the solar system is terracentric?

Well, since you can no more PROVE your THEORY than I can mine, the question remains, WHO'S THEORY IS RIGHT AND WHO'S IS WRONG? I know my theory sure has a lot better outcome than your does. Just because a theory is well established does not make it so as you so eloquently pointed out.

If SARS can only live a day or two exposed to sea level atmosphere, there is no possibility it arrived from space, and little possibility it would be opportunistic on mammals if it did.Did you see the article in Science a few years ago, about a Mars rock that some researchers thought might contained fossilized microbes? What is your opinion of that?
p.s. I wasn't convinced.

A "scientist" said this? It would "dry" in the "atmosphere" of space? It may freeze solid or disintegrate in the vacuum of space. Inaccurate choice of words at best. Unless you are a scientist, you have no idea how difficult it is to communicate even simple ideas. If you want to leave me tongue-tied and speechless, make it perfectly clear that you don't understand the first concept of molecular biology, then ask me what I do.

Why is it so difficult to communicate? Do "scientists" corner the market on understanding ideas? Or, must they have the proper indoctrination to understand? Just a simple question. I am sure you are not implying that you are smart and the rest of us are stupid. That would just be plain rude. :)

Some (British) scientists think sars may have come from outer space.This bilge is the result of reading too much "Harry Potter."

A summary I can do. There is something called lauric acid in virgin coconut oil that dissolves the lipid coating off the lipid coated virus and leaves it defenseless against the body's attack. Since SARS is a lipid coated virus it may very well work against it too. Quite a few of the serious viruses are lipid coated and are said to be be disarmed with lauric acid. Many studies have been done to back these claims up.

I think the brains of these scientists are in space.

I don't know about pina coladas being a cure for SARS but Guinness Extra Stout daily has been proven by studies to often keep people with HIV alive longer. They first noticed that beer drinkers with HIV were doing better than their counterparts who had HIV and were trying to do everything right to take care of themselves including not drinking beer. Studies showed it was the Guinness Extra Stout drinking people who were doing the best of all. Sorry I can't link you to the studies as it has been a long time since I read them. Maybe I can find them if I look. :>)

Hi! Old Quagmire Reuters is really spreading the Bovine Fecal Matter in this story..
Reuters makes the NY Slimes and LA Slimes look like paragons of virtue and truth when compared to the Reuters BS articles.
