@stefanierose88 Even if it were possible for a pathogen compatible with human physiology to exist and survive in the extreme environment of space, the chances of their being a sufficient number of viable organisms to trigger a disease state in humans is extremely remote.

One in a billion odds are irrelevant if you happen to be on the one in a billion planet that life emerges. It's not like there is just one planet in a small finite amount of time waiting for life to emerge. There are an infinite number of planets, and there is an infinite amount of time, so life was bound to evolve somewhere, and here we are. It's no miracle, but just an inevitable thing that happened, at this place, and at this time. Enjoy it without giving credit to imaginary creator people.
Another nail in the coffin of religion? I guess you mean Chrisitianity, right? Lets see.... amino acids came from a comet. WOW!! You know what that means??? It means that amino acids came from a comet. Nothing more, nothing less. Oh, BTW, where did those amino acids come from? ORIGINALLY.
a beginning is something that might not really exist.
For religions claiming knowledge of our creation it kinda is a nail in the coffin, for creation anyway. This creates a scene where life could have formed on its own. It seems you would give credit to god for creating the amino acids...why? You cannot assume God did it just because you do not know. Its silly.
@plasterosu - God didnt come from anywhere. But I cant expect you to understand that. Most people limit their thinking what they have beenj taught out of a book about the physical world. If you cant think beyond that, then I cant explain it to you.
@psychotic492, God didnt come from anywhere. when you claim that something comes from somewhere, you are limiting it to what we understand of the physical world. God is beyond the physical world. God exists because you and I and everything in the universe exists. From science we know that matter cannot be created. Creation and the big bang are one and the same. Also, God didnt happen,. God has always existed. Think outside the box about that instead of making the box bigger.
First of all it is very easy to create matter all u need is energy and since we don't know what and if something existed before the big expansion (the forming of matter in our universe) we do not even know if it happened just once (maybe we are part of manny multiverses) So claiming to know anny of the fact and then to conclude it proves god is a clear delusion.
PS: The laws of thermodynamics only apply at the macroscopic level, at the quantum level matter can and will be created.
Most religions have the mind set of only having life on Earth as they were made up by humans, which means that if we find amino acids (Building blocks of life) On something not on Earth this prooves that the people who wrote the bible were not gods or smart, just crack heads with a pen. Also disprooving religion is in the past, we now are looking for ways to support our theorys and not make up more bullshit. Just drop religion you're living in the awful past.
@D34dFilms - Good. I dont like religion. I prefer Christianity. Dont think that people that wrote the Bible were smart? Read about Jonah. Yeah, yeah, I know..... dont argue about the guy living in the belly of a fish, pay attention to the story and the mountains written about under the sea. That was written over a thousand years before ocean mountians were discovered by science.
An excellent hint of life in the Univese, if you can find amino acids on a Comet, then, in my mind, there has to be life out there. You can't just say life only exsists on Earth anyway, think of the billions upon billions of galaxies out there.
If there is life out there, I'm sure they too have beliefs in a supernatural being if they are sentient, and if that's the case... heh Creationists would be in a world of hurt, Relgion as a whole would be in a world of hurt.
I can't wait till we finally make contact with extraterrestrials. I think it's funny how people think we're the only ones here when we're not even sure if there was once life on the planet right next to us (Mars). If we humans could actually fathom the size of the universe and understand how insignificant our position really is then maybe we could wise up and make some serious efforts to explore space.
@BRUTEFORRCE Interesting question to ask, though...
If, hypothetically, an extinct alien species from Mars 'colonized' this planet with the microbes for kicking off life, would we consider them 'gods'?
I'd love to see what a theist would say in a situation like this. I would think that religion would crumble, since now instead of a supernatural reason, we would be able to identify an actual species who kicked off life on this planet.
Hmm, If I had to guess I'd say a large amount of reasonable theists (Slight contradiction, sorry) would wise up and acknowledge the absence of their god(s). But, I think it would only strengthen the faith of those who are less reasonable. They would say that this species truly was/is God, and this discovery only strengthens their belief.
Basically, I think the only thing that can root out theism affectively is time. No matter what, people will always find reasons to lie to themselves.
there are so many stars and so many planets orbiting those stars that there is literally not a chance in hell of there being no life past our solar system, anyone who doesn't believe that there's life out there should take a lesson in probability.
I like to bring up the probability with my friends some times, they say things like "Don't you get it, life on this planet is like a one in a billion chance!" If you ask me, those are pretty damn good odds.
God himself doesn't have free will. If God knows in three days advance he will pick door 1 over door 2, there is no possible way he can pick door 2. He can only choose door 1. The same can be said about us. An all knowing God contradicts free will.
@vorgon2000 not at all. just because we find metal in space doesn't mean chevy's are produced there. finding a building block is a far cry from the complex assembly into life. the spark of life is given by God alone.
@john74591 Before we start any discussion, would it be impolite for me to set some ground rules. Please can we have no personal attacks and we stick to facts. Also I would like to know: what is your level of understanding of evolutionary theory and theology.
Chemicals combine everywhere randomly for no specific reasons. God has better things to do than mess with us. Open your mind and see the bigger picture. Its not about you, its about him.
Youre not getting it. By reiterating my words you only demonstrate that you really dont get the point. God doesnt need to prove anything to us. Evolution has only proven it isn't the answer.
I get it quite well and I never said god was trying to prove anything to us, but the possibility that these were the laws he put in place to make the universe work. You can chose to dismiss the evidence all you want, but it doesn't change the science.
Read what evolution is. Its a gradual adaptation. If it was the case, we would have fossil records of every stage man has taken from chimp to modern man. We dont see that, we see an unexplained jump from chimp to almost the current stage we are in.
I'm quite aware of what evolution is, And there was a fossil discovered just last year that resembles early man. And the fact that we share 98% of our dna with primates gives us a pretty good understanding of what we evolved from. But it's easier for you to believe that the magical man in the sky created everything in a week which is just rediculous. Well just about as rediculous as the story of an old man building an ark tyo save some animals from a flood.
Faith is something you have to want. It will open your world to a new reality. We share a large percentage of DNA with all animals, but that doesn't mean anything. In the late 1500's a round earth sounded rediculous too.
I can't have faith in something that i can't even see. And where was your god during the holocaust? During the recent 7.1 haiti quake? Iread some of the comments from so called christians on that one. The typical well they had it coming because they aren't christian.Oh they wer going to hell too. I People can believe what they want, I'm not going to demonize you as where some christians accuse atheists of being satanic and they get the automatic , You're going to hell. Very christian like.
Faith is belief in what we can't see. and judgement is reserved for God alone. I would never judge you as you have judged me. that's what it's like to be "christian like"
John you seem l;ike a decent guy. But what puts alot of people off from religion or church , Are the people that quote the bibole by day and then go out and go out and get wasted a few nights a week , Or the weekends like everybody else and have sex outside of marriage like alot of people do. But tell everybody else they are going to hell.
Faith is belief without evidence or proof. We can't see wind, yet there is empirical evidence for it. You can hear it, feel it, and measure it's effects. You can't do that with any god man created. There is no empirical evidence that's applical to everyone, not just a few schizos or pepole born in a different region. If God exist outside the five senses, he exist outside reality, if he exist outside reality, he doesn't exist.
My response is this: God gave us free will, and sometimes people choose to excercise free will in a bad way. Hence, the Holocaust. Also, show me where it says in the Bible that God promised to stop bad things from happening. Not to say he never does, but your argument is basically that you disagree with God's methods, so therefor you choose not to believe in him. As for those other Christians, I agree they were very close minded when they said those things.
Because he never does. That alone if proof of him not existing. Why would an all knowing loiving god let his only son die? When he cvould have provented it. Your god has no methods.Basically bad shit happens and god isn't doing anything for you.
It would be impossible for an all loving God that is completely absent of evil to create a world where evil found it's way into existence. Free will is not a valid argument, my previous comment shows it. If God is absent from evil, it would still be impossible for his creation to create evil or do wrong at all, yet society is the way it is. If there is a God, he's a horrible one. For argument's sake couldn't God have created a world with free will without suffering? Is there free will in heaven?
Yes I believe there is free will, but in God's presence, evil can not be present. Many theologians believe that people can leave heaven and go to hell if they so please.
"It would be impossible for an all loving God that is completely absent of evil to create a world where evil found it's way into existence."
No, because he gave us free will, which includes the ability to disobey his laws. As for your earlier comment, you're saying God can't change his mind, which is ridiculous.
@glramer2007 So, he gives us free will, knowing full well that we would exercise it, only to be punished for using the free will he gave to us in the first place.
That, my friend, is called circular logic. It is also called stupid thinking.
Evil is, in my definition, what man does when he is poorly informed or one who has a piss poor sense of morality.
The 'laws' you so profess are nothing more than self indulgent rants. I agree with 'don't steal/kill', but the rest are pointless.
@glramer2007 Plus, if god did exist and he was everything you profess (omnipresent, omniscient, omnibenevolent), then he shouldn't be changing his mind. His original thought would have been 'perfect'...
We know he is riddled with changing his mind (look at Noah's ark...he had 'regrets' about killing millions after the flood).
god, in your case, seems to be what YOU want him to be and not what he actually is (if he existed).
Sharing a large percentage of DNA with animals[Chimps] means a lot. Faith is no more true than an opinion. Faith isn't something you want to have, it's something you're born with it. It's what you put your faith in that makes a difference. I have faith in things based off past empirical evidence, such as waking up on Monday. Some have faith in a book with known errors and contradictions, they believe it's true, despite the evidence saying otherwise. That's a delusion, a by product of faith.
Evolution does not show we "jumped" from chimp to man because man didn't "jump" from chimps. It shows we evolved from earlier homonoids. Go to talkorigins[.]org. We are apes, we have a fused chromosome, look it up. Heard of Homo erectus or Homo habilis, or did Answersingenesis leave that out? You just made yourself invalid in this argument by showing your ignorance of evolution.
"We dont see that, we see an unexplained jump from chimp to almost the current stage we are in. "
We never were chimps, and we didn't evolve from chimps. Humans and chimps share a common ancestor. Seriously, these are the basics and YOU'RE criticizing evolution? COMMON!!
"We share a large percentage of DNA with all animals, but that doesn't mean anything."
This is because all animals are related. Universal common descent is another basic concept in evolution theory.
Or maybe the evidence was planted there to test your faith ! Doesn't matter what you say to those thiests! They think of the darnest answers / responses.
I feel that it is possible to have many more forms of life out there, way beyond our universe. I am not saying I believe in ufos but that it seems unlikely that we are the only ones out there. Until we can prove it otherwise. It is boundless and possibilities are endless.
LOL!!... oh dear, poor creationists! Are we finding evidence of life away from earth??? ....Where does it say in Genesis that God has "created" life elsewhere, because I'm having trouble finding it!!! lol!! :)
makes you wonder what else in the bible isn't true!! lol!!
As a Christian I would assume you would't know what the meaning of "slutty" is. That could, I suppose, explain why you used that word. If you do, you need to wash your brain out.
No, there can be no life ("as we know it") in space. These amino acids and other organics are created through inorganic chemistry operating mechanically, and not created by life. The whole point is that one of the basic four amino-acids used by DNA for its coding of information is common enough in space to have been identified. This bolsters the theory of abiogenesis, the creation of life from physics and chemistry rather than from other life.
She adds at the end that "It shows that life may be more prevalent than we thought." (or something like that). She isn't saying that our life comes necessarily from panspermia (that is, another world) but rather that if these amino acids are common in space, that gives a leg up to life starting out down on any planet. Life doesn't necessarily have to start out from the lowest wrung of the chemical ladder.
he universe is infinite, so we can't be the only life substaning planet. Now whether the other life is intelligent, or if we will ever see it, is a whole different thing.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well I'm Christian and I understood what the whole amino-acids thing meant before rwatching the video. I am a free thinker and religious and I think it's a bit ignorant to assume that the two are mutually exclusive.
I think the phrasing is about right actually. It is certainly mind-boggling to imagine that there isn't any other life in the vastness of the cosmos, but we don't as yet have any evidence for it. Therefore, he scientific approach is to allow for the possibility of none.
Let me re-phrase that, the possibilities of space, and because we are expanding into an unknown, who is to say that we are the only expanding universe?
Well that's certainly one of the theories; recently I've heard it expressed as "our Universe could be but one bubble in/on a membrane" - it's great flights of imagination but really it's just a shell game for now as once you accept the membrane what's to say there are not many membranes or that the membranes are stretched over some ultra-sphere and so on.
I'm almost certainly talking crap but it's unlikely we will know much more during our lifetimes: but I won't fill the voids with a God!
@pritzi101 Space is finite but is expanding at an exponential rate. From what we can see, and what we know, we can almost see the bare edges of the known universe as it is. What lies beyond that, we don't know. Yet.
Damn it IxxGODxxI, christians may be crazy, but who wouldn't wanna go hang out with a jealous, controlling mass murdering creator for the rest of eternity? Haven't you ever been in a bad relationship? You know it's not healthy, but you love 'em anyways, and they love you!
Do not call myself a christian. I do believe in god. what i mean to say is that i am spiritual and i believe that there is just as much truth in everything as their is lies in everything. i love science too. For me the love of one does not discredit the other.
as a lover of both my beliefs and a believer in scientific fact, i really disapprove of these close minded people who seem to be masquarading as "christians" and dont even act like it.
I can't stand seeing these weird obsessed religious fanatics always commenting on videos that have nothing to do with their lifestyle. These mean close-minded folk need to keep it to themselves. Please.
Considering amino acids are a product of chemical reactions, I see no shock value in finding them elsewhere in the universe. I also find it unlikely that life doesn't exist anywhere else, but amino acids aren't life, they are just a key component of life.
No, indeed thay don't. Radio astronomy have been identifying simple chemicals in dark gas clouds for decades. This is a basic amino acid (building blocks of all proteins) that is also used in DNA, though. That makes it important. It's one more component that has been proven to be created without life involvement, natural or supernatural.
The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing." "But," say Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED." "Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't though of that" and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

IxxGODxxI, I can't hear you! I can't hear you! Eve is a bad girl! A dirty, naughty bad bad girl! Who deserves to be spanked... Erhm.. Who deserves eternal damnation!
Satan did it, God was just not watching, when he turned around and saw it, everyone else noticed. So if he would have changed it, then free will would be negated.. Or something, I guess..
Knowledge is bad okay, these satanic scientists prove it everyday. They're bad bad naughty dirty people who deserve to be spanked! Erhm..
E.T. Phone home!!! I bet you it's little green men with big beating heads. That want to rule earth! We're fuckin dead man! It's gonna be like the war of the worlds!!! Rofl!!! Ok i don't actually have anything to say. :D
What coffin? every damn square inch, right down to the atomic level has got a damn nail through it, its more like - 'the final nail placed upon a whole lote of other nails covering a pile of sawdust'...
the problem is, all these nails in the coffin are tiny. Creationists can't be bothered looking for them because if they can't see them it isn't there... (Which ironically, is the opposite to what they believe about God...)
This new nail is just slightly bigger than the others... =]
Naw, but really, the coffin is already shut, nailed, and the corpse is dead. The only thing struggling is some worms chewing on the corpse. Or in clear text, creationism needs no more nails. It is constantly being proven false, and it will keep on doing so until creationism is on the same layer as reality.
IxxGODxxI, that's perposterous, I know that we're inherently evil due to a chick eating an apple, or something.. Bibles not too clear... But that just means were inherently evil because god created her KNOWING she would do such a thing! He WANTED to sacrifice his son...
Or was that himself... For the sin that he created Eve knowing she'd commit! So it couldn't be Satan or we would have just been made bad. Duh..
It surprises me that this is even a surprise! The whole Cosmos is teaming with the atoms that play part of 'life'. The real question remains as to what phenominae is it that instructs atoms to interact in their trillions to give rise to 'life'? This is where we enter the wierd world of the unknown. Where idiots use a 'God' for their idious answers. The fact remains that, even if the notion of 'something form nothing'' was to ever be accepted (as it probably will) it'll be difficult to 'show' it.
But...but...we already know what instructs atoms to interact; that's chemistry. We even have a fairly good idea how they really did it; that's called abiogenesis ("life from non-life"). It's mapped out like Rogers and Clark mapped North America with their explorations. Lots of holes to be filled in, but there's no doubt about the fact that it happened.
Please enlighten me more with the 'Abiogenesis', ie. what causes it, why, how, is it a miracle or, as some would claim 'Gods work', what properties instils non life with 'life'. Herein we have a problem, people do not accept that something can derive form 'nothing'. Well, let's put it this way, they will eventually.
Just one last question, where did 'Abiogenesis' originate?
I'm not going to argue about "god's work". The outline of the theory can be viewed on a video in the cdk007 channel entitled "The Origin of Life - Abiogenesis - Dr. Jack Szostak".
If you watch the video, you can see that life does not come from nothing. It comes from normal chemical reactions that would normally take long periods of time to occur, along with a proper environment. They cannot happen naturally today because conditions are not now conducive to it happening again.
Where did it happen? I don't know, no one knows. It is possible it may not have happened on this planet at all; it may have traveled here from elsewhere in space; look up panspermia.
If you are looking for an exact moment when non-life comes alive, you'll be disappointed. The chemical reactions describe take on, one by one, the attributes of life: replication, feeding, and so on. Are viruses alive, for example? Some say yes, others no, since all they do is replicate, and not on their own.
Oh, ok. That's good to know. So these free aminos are uncommon on earth? Or is it that on earth they're usually bonded with other aminos or something?
i was watching a video on the science channel and the measures they go through to not contaminate probes and satelites is pretty hardcore. they literally cook the probes in an oven and they wipe them down a rediculous amount of times.
What she was saying is that they wanted to make sure that contamination by earth-life protein/DNA wasn't what they were reporting came in from space. NASA prevents contamination by writing up a protocol at the beginning, getting it reviewed, following it to the extreme, and sending out samples to other labs for their analysis.
Protocol includes sterilizing the craft before flight by baking and sealing it in a "can" until it gets out into space, same as your mom does tomatoes (but much worse).
Satan created amino acids to confuse us of God's creation. Just like fossils.. And radioactive rocks... And red shift... And background radiation... And biology... Damn you Satan... Damn you...

I think it's funny how people think we're the only ones here when we're not even sure if there was once life on the planet right next to us (Mars). If we humans could actually fathom the size of the universe and understand how insignificant our position really is then maybe we could wise up and make some serious efforts to explore space.
BRUTEFORRCE 2 years ago
@BRUTEFORRCE Interesting question to ask, though...
If, hypothetically, an extinct alien species from Mars 'colonized' this planet with the microbes for kicking off life, would we consider them 'gods'?
I'd love to see what a theist would say in a situation like this. I would think that religion would crumble, since now instead of a supernatural reason, we would be able to identify an actual species who kicked off life on this planet.
Just speculating...
supermanlives1973 2 years ago
Hmm, If I had to guess I'd say a large amount of reasonable theists (Slight contradiction, sorry) would wise up and acknowledge the absence of their god(s). But, I think it would only strengthen the faith of those who are less reasonable. They would say that this species truly was/is God, and this discovery only strengthens their belief.
Basically, I think the only thing that can root out theism affectively is time. No matter what, people will always find reasons to lie to themselves.

there are so many stars and so many planets orbiting those stars that there is literally not a chance in hell of there being no life past our solar system, anyone who doesn't believe that there's life out there should take a lesson in probability.

God himself doesn't have free will. If God knows in three days advance he will pick door 1 over door 2, there is no possible way he can pick door 2. He can only choose door 1. The same can be said about us. An all knowing God contradicts free will.

john74591 2 years ago
I'm quite aware of what evolution is, And there was a fossil discovered just last year that resembles early man. And the fact that we share 98% of our dna with primates gives us a pretty good understanding of what we evolved from. But it's easier for you to believe that the magical man in the sky created everything in a week which is just rediculous. Well just about as rediculous as the story of an old man building an ark tyo save some animals from a flood.

spikeman23 2 years ago
Faith is belief without evidence or proof. We can't see wind, yet there is empirical evidence for it. You can hear it, feel it, and measure it's effects. You can't do that with any god man created. There is no empirical evidence that's applical to everyone, not just a few schizos or pepole born in a different region. If God exist outside the five senses, he exist outside reality, if he exist outside reality, he doesn't exist.
HybridD91 2 years ago
My response is this: God gave us free will, and sometimes people choose to excercise free will in a bad way. Hence, the Holocaust. Also, show me where it says in the Bible that God promised to stop bad things from happening. Not to say he never does, but your argument is basically that you disagree with God's methods, so therefor you choose not to believe in him. As for those other Christians, I agree they were very close minded when they said those things.
glramer2007 2 years ago
Because he never does. That alone if proof of him not existing. Why would an all knowing loiving god let his only son die? When he cvould have provented it. Your god has no methods.Basically bad shit happens and god isn't doing anything for you.
spikeman23 2 years ago
It would be impossible for an all loving God that is completely absent of evil to create a world where evil found it's way into existence. Free will is not a valid argument, my previous comment shows it. If God is absent from evil, it would still be impossible for his creation to create evil or do wrong at all, yet society is the way it is. If there is a God, he's a horrible one. For argument's sake couldn't God have created a world with free will without suffering? Is there free will in heaven?
HybridD91 2 years ago
Yes I believe there is free will, but in God's presence, evil can not be present. Many theologians believe that people can leave heaven and go to hell if they so please.
"It would be impossible for an all loving God that is completely absent of evil to create a world where evil found it's way into existence."
No, because he gave us free will, which includes the ability to disobey his laws. As for your earlier comment, you're saying God can't change his mind, which is ridiculous.
glramer2007 2 years ago
@glramer2007 So, he gives us free will, knowing full well that we would exercise it, only to be punished for using the free will he gave to us in the first place.
That, my friend, is called circular logic. It is also called stupid thinking.
Evil is, in my definition, what man does when he is poorly informed or one who has a piss poor sense of morality.
The 'laws' you so profess are nothing more than self indulgent rants. I agree with 'don't steal/kill', but the rest are pointless.
supermanlives1973 2 years ago 3
@glramer2007 Plus, if god did exist and he was everything you profess (omnipresent, omniscient, omnibenevolent), then he shouldn't be changing his mind. His original thought would have been 'perfect'...
We know he is riddled with changing his mind (look at Noah's ark...he had 'regrets' about killing millions after the flood).
god, in your case, seems to be what YOU want him to be and not what he actually is (if he existed).

Sharing a large percentage of DNA with animals[Chimps] means a lot. Faith is no more true than an opinion. Faith isn't something you want to have, it's something you're born with it. It's what you put your faith in that makes a difference. I have faith in things based off past empirical evidence, such as waking up on Monday. Some have faith in a book with known errors and contradictions, they believe it's true, despite the evidence saying otherwise. That's a delusion, a by product of faith.
HybridD91 2 years ago
Evolution does not show we "jumped" from chimp to man because man didn't "jump" from chimps. It shows we evolved from earlier homonoids. Go to talkorigins[.]org. We are apes, we have a fused chromosome, look it up. Heard of Homo erectus or Homo habilis, or did Answersingenesis leave that out? You just made yourself invalid in this argument by showing your ignorance of evolution.

"We dont see that, we see an unexplained jump from chimp to almost the current stage we are in. "
We never were chimps, and we didn't evolve from chimps. Humans and chimps share a common ancestor. Seriously, these are the basics and YOU'RE criticizing evolution? COMMON!!
"We share a large percentage of DNA with all animals, but that doesn't mean anything."
This is because all animals are related. Universal common descent is another basic concept in evolution theory.

No, there can be no life ("as we know it") in space. These amino acids and other organics are created through inorganic chemistry operating mechanically, and not created by life. The whole point is that one of the basic four amino-acids used by DNA for its coding of information is common enough in space to have been identified. This bolsters the theory of abiogenesis, the creation of life from physics and chemistry rather than from other life.
puncheex 2 years ago
She adds at the end that "It shows that life may be more prevalent than we thought." (or something like that). She isn't saying that our life comes necessarily from panspermia (that is, another world) but rather that if these amino acids are common in space, that gives a leg up to life starting out down on any planet. Life doesn't necessarily have to start out from the lowest wrung of the chemical ladder.

I'm almost certainly talking crap but it's unlikely we will know much more during our lifetimes: but I won't fill the voids with a God!

The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."

"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't though of that" and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

It surprises me that this is even a surprise! The whole Cosmos is teaming with the atoms that play part of 'life'. The real question remains as to what phenominae is it that instructs atoms to interact in their trillions to give rise to 'life'? This is where we enter the wierd world of the unknown. Where idiots use a 'God' for their idious answers. The fact remains that, even if the notion of 'something form nothing'' was to ever be accepted (as it probably will) it'll be difficult to 'show' it.
Topdoginuk 2 years ago
But...but...we already know what instructs atoms to interact; that's chemistry. We even have a fairly good idea how they really did it; that's called abiogenesis ("life from non-life"). It's mapped out like Rogers and Clark mapped North America with their explorations. Lots of holes to be filled in, but there's no doubt about the fact that it happened.
puncheex 2 years ago
Please enlighten me more with the 'Abiogenesis', ie. what causes it, why, how, is it a miracle or, as some would claim 'Gods work', what properties instils non life with 'life'. Herein we have a problem, people do not accept that something can derive form 'nothing'. Well, let's put it this way, they will eventually.
Just one last question, where did 'Abiogenesis' originate?
Thanks for you comment.
Topdoginuk 2 years ago
I'm not going to argue about "god's work". The outline of the theory can be viewed on a video in the cdk007 channel entitled "The Origin of Life - Abiogenesis - Dr. Jack Szostak".
If you watch the video, you can see that life does not come from nothing. It comes from normal chemical reactions that would normally take long periods of time to occur, along with a proper environment. They cannot happen naturally today because conditions are not now conducive to it happening again.
puncheex 2 years ago 2
Where did it happen? I don't know, no one knows. It is possible it may not have happened on this planet at all; it may have traveled here from elsewhere in space; look up panspermia.
If you are looking for an exact moment when non-life comes alive, you'll be disappointed. The chemical reactions describe take on, one by one, the attributes of life: replication, feeding, and so on. Are viruses alive, for example? Some say yes, others no, since all they do is replicate, and not on their own.

What she was saying is that they wanted to make sure that contamination by earth-life protein/DNA wasn't what they were reporting came in from space.

Protocol includes sterilizing the craft before flight by baking and sealing it in a "can" until it gets out into space, same as your mom does tomatoes (but much worse).
