   The earliest -- or most of the earliest -- life on earth was   
   anaerobic. For it, oxygen was a waste product, a poison!  They   
   expelled oxygen, yes, but they could no more live with it than   
   people can survive eating poop...   
      
   Eventually the atmosphere of the planet earth because so   
   saturated with oxygen that strange things began to happen. I   
   mean, things actually began to rust!   
      
   "Oxidation" occurred.   
      
   AND one other interesting thing is that it sparked the planets   
   first mass extinction event!   
      
   Life, or most life at least, was anaerobic, all the oxygen was   
   literally poison to it, and yet there was so much life   
   excreting so much oxygen for so long that the atmosphere become   
   saturated with the stuff!   
      
   Things died. Most things died... mass extinction.

   Avi Loeb just had a "Peer Reviewed" journal refuse to so much as   
   allow him the courtesy of this "Peer Review," explaining that a   
   paper on a couple of new interstellar objects -- when there's only   
   been THREE officially recognized so far -- wasn't of interest...   
      
   I personally lost all faith in "Scientific Journals" many years   
   ago, when one in particular mercilessly trashed the Oral Vaccine   
   Theory on the origins of AIDS in the Congo, the journal using   
   transparently vulgar pseudo science, and one of the editors went   
   so far as to explain that he feared the theory would endanger   
   (western) public health initiatives, particularly vaccines.   
      
   So it wasn't because the letters/papers, the theory itself, wasn't   
   scientifically valid. It was because a valid theory pinning AIDS   
   on a vaccine might stop people from trusting vaccines...   
      
   Not "Science" but a social program.   
      
   We see this in a lot of areas, not just public health and AGW.   
      
   Science is gone. We need to fight to get it back.   
      
   We've lost too much already, including countless lives, on shit   
   replacing science.
