Gap-closing ping.

Now admitting the soup theory of abiogenesis was "watered down". Plus, I always thought you Darwinians kept such abiogenesis theories at arms length, so it should have no bearing at all in any discussion of Darwininian theories.

I am happy to point out that this supports my contention that deep space is the most viable source of the required reactants for the formation of life. Despite this supporting evidence, I still don't trust the results in isolation. The traces of a chiral amino acid in space would be the next step. The "icing" on the cake would be the discovery of polypeptides/proteins on comets/meteors in space. It is possible that complex organics could be found on Jupiter or Neptune. Look for Darwininian evidence on the planet prior to Neptune.

I wouldnt be suprised if we find multi cellular life on Europa. While this moon of Jupiter lacks an athmosphere, it has liquid water (actually a whole ocean of H2O) and vulcanic activity. Water and heat is enough to support a ecosystem. Look up black smokers
