Earliest evidence of life on Earth 'found'

Earliest evidence of life on Earth 'found'
http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-39117523

And no.  It is not Eve's tampon.

Quote:Scientists have discovered what they say could be fossils of some of the earliest living organisms on Earth.
They are represented by tiny filaments, knobs and tubes in Canadian rocks dated to be up to 4.28 billion years old.
That is a time not long after the planet's formation and hundreds of millions of years before what is currently accepted as evidence for the most ancient life yet found on Earth.
The researchers report their investigation in the journal Nature.

Just been arguing with creationists elsewhere who decided to jump in and spout bullshit about this finding.

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"

Describe the bullshit please.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

But when did rust upgrade itself to biology?

In some cases....
