Quote:NASA: DNA Found on Meteorites Indicates Life May Have Originated in Space
Quote:NASA researchers have found the building blocks for life in meteorites, indicating that the components for life on Earth may have originated in outer space.
Researchers from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greebelt, Md., report evidence that ready-made DNA parts could have crashed to the surface on objects like meteorites, and then assembled under Earth's early conditions to create the first DNA.
No wonder the republicunts don't want to fund NASA. Jesus can't handle the competition.
Annoyingly we cannot tell if these meteorites were formed from early-Earth collisions - which means they could have been thrown off long before Earth DNA parts mutated into what we recognise today - and retained their original structures. The fact they are in near-Earth orbits (or at least were before they crashed here) coupled with the higher probability they originated from a body on or close to their orbit paths only supports this.
It's good evidence but not conclusive.

If you describe yourself as “atheist,” some people will say, “Don’t you mean ‘agnostic’?” I have to reply that I really do mean atheist, I really do not believe that there is a god; in fact, I am convinced that there is not a god (a subtle difference). I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
