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?

Believe it or not, it’s a radical new theory

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?

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.

[mnehring]

Of course not, everyone knows life came from a flying spaghetti monster.

Good post.

Another evolutionist who thinks life must have accidently started somewhere else instead of earth, somewhere far away, where the rules don't apply or the rules are different sometimes, but always by accident.

That’s a cool idea...I’m an astrobiologist. Didn’t George Castanza always want to be a Marine Biologist?

Keep the pressure on these guys, GGG. I’ve always wondered why they care about origins, if their presuppositions begin with excluding the possibility of thoughtful intent. And, if there is no intent to this whole thing, then they are meaningless self-recognizing protoplasms with no significance or value.

Ceres may be small, but its H2O molecules add up. He figures that “The total volume of all this water is something like 40 times greater than all the oceans on Earth.”

He figures wrong!

Given enough time, almost anything could happen, or maybe not? Is time finite or infinite?

It's above my pay grade.

"Make up the wackiest theory for the origin of life you can"

Like Topsy, it just growed?

[Scythian]

This is an old theory and it’s meant to work on the simple minded (which includes most people). The idea is, if you push the creation of life either billions of miles away, or billions of years back in time, suddenly, the impossible becomes possible, that is, life springing from non-life. Sorry folks, this silly person will get his chance to explain his little pet theory to the One who spoke and the universe lept into existance.
