What does this have to do with your accusation that NASA is lying to increase their funding?

Unless one is to assume that only our solar system contains hydrocarbons, amino acids or nucleotides, then one must expect that the universe is teeming with life.
 If you think it's just teeming with life, just so teeming with life, by all means, go with that thought.

Interesting. The guy who believes that the universe was created and tuned for life is mocking the idea that it might actually contain life.

If your point is that god is just an abstract concept that only exists so long as we conceptualize him in some way, that's fine. So is Zeus. So is James Bond. So is the Tooth Fairy. Good job proving the existence of every fantasy character that we ever thought up. The world just became a truly interesting place.

So you do know what fallacies are: your constant arguments from ignorance have no excuse then, hypocrite.

Well now its a good thing were sending a probe to one of Saturn's moons if there is any sign of life whether is a complex organism or even bacteria its something.
Because it is enough information to finally put it to rest that we are not the only living beings in the universe and sure as heck our own galaxy. Then we can finally put
god to rest for good.

It means this is classic journalistic ignorant hype of a fairly important discovery.
The title is misleading. DNA was NOT, repeat NOT, found on asteroids, meteors, or contaminating our foodstuffs. OK, that last one isn't true, but they really didn't find DNA in space.
What they found was adenine and guanine, two of the four nucleobases that form DNA. This is like finding a couple of bricks in my yard and hollering "hey everyone, there's a mansion buried in my back yard!"
The reason it's important is that adenine and guanine don't naturally occur on Earth. The question 'where did those building blocks come from?' has been floating around for decades. So has the answer "they came from meteorites," but only now has that answer been unquestionably confirmed.
Due to the nature of the study of abiogenesis, I sincerely doubt that there will ever be a single creationism-busting discovery. It will be a slow, gradual process, sort of like abiogenesis itself. And pretty much no matter what science discovers, creationists will never admit that their silly literal reading of genesis is wrong.
"creationists will never admit that their silly literal reading of genesis is wrong." - Some creationist will always support a 24 hour day literal interpretation that is propounded by the 'Institute for Creation Research' organization. Others though, recognizes that there are 4 'literal' interpretation of the word 'day' depending upon the context. One of the 4 meanings is "a long but finite period of time'. Currently, we are in the 7'th day which is between 100,000 - 50,000 years duration and will continue from now to Christ's 2'nd return (near the very end of the 7 year tribulation period) + 1000 years of Kingdom rule on earth. Then the 7'th day will end.
