Organic Molecules Found 400 Light Years From Earth

(August 8, 2017 at 11:30 am)rjh4 is back Wrote: So Minimalist provides this article stating that scientists have found a sugar molecule and methyl isocyanate in a distant star system and that this is a clue as to how life formed and nobody here thought to push back at this at all??? Amazing!!

Maybe the following question would be appropriate:

Given that sugars and methyl isocyanate already exist here on earth and still no scientist that I know of has come up with a natrualistic mechanism for forming life from non-life, how does finding these materials in a distant star system provide any more clues to how life formed than anything that we already know?

Or maybe simply:

Scientists have found a sugar molecule and methyl isocyanate in a distant star system...so what?

Perhaps no atheists wanted to push back as doing so might highlight the lack of any known naturalistic mechanism for forming life from non-life????

C'mon, Minimalist, explain the significance of the finding such that any story whatsoever would be needed from a creationist or anyone else.

Have at it guys!!

Are you one of those god of the gaps people?

My response is that we don't have an answer YET. But I do find it interesting that we find similar substrates on earth and in space. It means that earth was probably not a one off. 

I don't need some hoodoovoodooholyguruwoowoo to make me feel comfortable. It's kind of sad that you seem to.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
