|    Hoe life on earth was started: The answe    |

      From: jtem01@gmail.com              If abiogenesis is possible -- and right now it's not       even at the level of a hypothesis, as it's a religious       belief that can't be falsified -- and I do mean IF       abiogensis is possible, it couldn't happen here.              IF abiogenesis is possible, it happened elsewhere long,       Long, LONG before the earth even formed. It happened       on Mars long before the earth even cooled to the point       where it could sustain life! The universe is just so       vast, so old that if abiogenesis is possible it occurred       a ridiculous number of times before there was any hope       of a chance for it to happen here. So, if abiogenesis       is possible...              Life formed elsewhere, spread across space -- effectively       "Contaminating" other worlds -- and eventually fell here       on earth.              Mars began COOLING to the point where it couldn't sustain       the conditions we associate with life right about the       same time that life first appeared here on earth. Which       means Mars likely had a hundreds of millions of years       head start on the earth, for acquiring life...              If abiogenesis is real, if it can happen, there is a far       better chance that it leapt here from Mars -- a volcanic       eruption or "asteroid" impact through debris into space,       debris contaminated with life, only to fall on the earth.       But if abiogenesis is possible....              As of the present, best evidence says that life here on       earth has survived dormant, in rock, for as long as a       quarter of a billion years. This is no just long enough       to reach the earth from Mars or Proxima Centauri but, also       the nearest GALAXY to us, outside the Milky Way.              IF abiogenesis is possible, we and all life from earth       came from the stars.              The earth was seeded. Period. That's how life on earth       got started.                                          --       https://jtem.tumblr.com/              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
