Quote of the day:
“The essence of the theory of evolution is the hypothesis that historical diversity is the consequence of natural selection acting on variations. Regardless of the verity it holds for explaining biohistory, it offers no help to the experimenter—who is concerned, for example, with the goal of finding or synthesizing a new antibiotic, or how it can disable a disease-producing organism, what dosages are required and which individuals will not tolerate it. Studying biohistory is, at best, an entertaining distraction from the goals of a working biologist.”

What are the dimensions of Ceres? What is the average orbital distance from the sun and is it on a stretched elliptical path that might have brought it close to Mars way back when?
Wrong, it's been around since they started writing sci-fi books.

Sheesh man, why post this garbage? You look like a spammer to me.
Weren’t Martian rocks found in Antarctica?
Garbage? The wacky theory you call garbage came from your fellow Evos over at Space.com. LOL
Ceres is the largest rock in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. One of many, many bodies out there. Being named for the mother goddess of the Romans, it’s a natural for those who write the titles on the covers of magazines. Earth mother=earth mother.
I’m not an “evo”, I believe in ID. Why did you post this if you don’t believe it?
“With a diameter of about 950 km (roughly the width of Spain, France, and Germany combined), Ceres is by far the largest and most massive body in the asteroid belt, and contains a third (32%) of the belt’s total mass.”

I just ran a Dogpile search. Ceres is ~975 km in diameter with approximately 60 to 120 km of water and ice mantle. It orbits the Sun out between Mars and Jupiter.
I thought it was an incredible theory that life started from green slime here on Earth. Now they want me to believe that life came form some unknown place by unknown process.
I laugh at the stupidity.
Of course not, everyone knows life came from a flying spaghetti monster.
==I’m not an “evo”, I believe in ID. Why did you post this if you don’t believe it?
This article could have easily been posted on Uncommon Descent, the Discovery Institute, or ARN. So let’s just say your reaction does not square with someone who is on board with ID. And btw, I posted this article because I agree with the conclusion of the Creationist who is poking fun at this Evo-tripe:
“See what happens when storytellers are allowed into the science lab? This makes Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs sound scholarly. Contest: see if you can top this. Make up the wackiest theory for the origin of life you can, and see if you can get Space.com to publish it. Tell them you’re an astrobiologist. You could be one, too, because the only job requirements are life membership in the Darwin Party and a vivid imagination.”
==Of course not, everyone knows life came from a flying spaghetti monster.
Is that what they are calling Darwood’s natural selection god these days?
==I laugh at the stupidity.
LOL!
And the monster was not alive itself?
