Meteorites Carried Life's Building Block to Earth

Yes, I also read about this in one of our newspapers yesterday, so to colonise Earth God threw a shower of meteorites at the Earth, seems reasonable to me!

Spencer.

No xanasax, God is supposed to be left out of this. After all, there isn't anything reasonable or credible with Intelligent Design (God). Evolution is the only credible theory of our origin, as clearly demonstrated in this article and others like it. We are just the result of random arbitrary acts of chance without any design. Not really!

When one reads jibberish like this article and many others like it, there is so much that one has to just blindly accept because the so-called evidence of evolution is so irrational, involves great stretching of small tidbits of information and drawing conclusions upon what that "fact" is supposed to indicate. It's impossible trying to connect the supposed evolutionary dots.

How much farther along would the scientific community be if they interpreted all the physical, geological, meterorlogical evidence, etc., that is available to anyone regardless of their origin perspective, from a different perspective. Many scientists with an evolutionary bent spend so much time trying to prove that point that they miss the ramifications of what they are actually seeing.

The original article is from Dec, 2010. The same thing keeps getting reported every couple of months.

Tell people a lie often enough, and they will eventually believe it. _{But some of us won't.}

Life's building blocks start with Hydrogen. We had plenty of that here before the swirling mass of gas cooled and "solidified" into our earth. The incredible pressure and temperature were perfect for fusing into everything we now have on earth. I do not see the need for small rocks from the Kuiper belt providing the elements we needed for life on earth.

Life is based on carbon, not hydrogen.

The thing that's so interesting to me is that the molecules most prevalent in life (hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen) are also among the simplest and most prevalent elements in the universe.

Of course the other thing that's so interesting is how many responses this subject will get from engineers who believe in every bit of science except the bit that explains where they came from.

You don't "see any need for small rocks from the Kuiper belt providing the elements we needed for life on earth."

I suppose what and who is here now just came about because of the contents of the
"swirling mass of gas", without an Originator or Designer? Forgive me, but what we can see and understand, and also what we can see and still don't understand is far too complex for it all to just come about because of some random elements coming together and then mutating over and over, over a period of hundreds of millions of years.

Nothing other than having a Creator/Designer makes sense.

If science has to make sense I guess quantum physics is a phantom as well.

Science is simply the observation, discovery and study of natural phenomena. It does make sense eventhough we don't understand everything. Just because it isn't understood clearly doesn't mean it isn't valid.

In the case of most scientific study there are observations and facts that support what is being studied. The conclusion may then be drawn from that context, not vice versa where a theory is declared the only valid conclusion, without the scientific data to back it up. All observations and facts are the same for every scientist i.e. geology, chemistry, etc. They may be interpreted differently though because of a mental or philosophical bias of the observer.

There will then be a different conclusion drawn because of that bias. The oberserver/scientist has to be intellectually honest and not force his bias on the data. There are many examples of that happening where Evolutionary "evidence" is presented as fact without corroborating evidence from various sources.

That bias exists in all branches of science and all theories until a compelling counter example comes along - such as aether vs the Michelson Morley experiment. There is yet to be a compelling counter example to evolution. As far as the theory that the building blocks of life came from space - that's a possible explanation for life still looking for supporting evidence. We now know that some of those building blocks exist in meteorites, but coincidence is not causality. Until someone finds evidence of life off planet it will remain just a possible explanation for the origin of life.

Well, what I really find interesting about this theory (reported a number of times and various permutations) is that it provides an explanation for the chirality or 'handedness' of life molecules, due to the effects of travelling through certain parts of the universe. At least, that's what I remember reading last time around...
