Found: A Batch of DNA Molecules That Seem To Have Originated in Space

[Ms Tree]

In what appears to be seriously big news from a team of NASA-funded researchers, scientists have found evidence that some building blocks of DNA--including two of the four nucleobases that make up our genetic code--found in meteorites were created in space, lending credence to the idea that life is not homegrown but was seeded here by asteroids, meteorites, or comets sometime in Earth’s early lifetime.

Perhaps the answer to how life came to earth? This would surely change things.

DNA

Since we are all about equal opportunity, there is always this option.

UPDATE: Pretty pleased with what I’ve come up with in just six days. Going to take tomorrow off. Feel free to check out what I’ve done so far. Suggestions and criticism (constructive, please!) more than welcome. God out.

Not sure who this is for. Seems like a fix for a problem that didn’t exist. Liked it better when the earth was without form, and void, and darkness was on the face of the deep.



Going carbon-based for the life-forms seems a tad obvious, no?



The creeping things that creepeth over the earth are gross.



Not enough action. Needs more conflict. Maybe put in a whole bunch more people, limit the resources, and see if we can get some fights going. Give them different skin colors so they can tell each other apart.



Disagree with the haters out there who have a problem with man having dominion over the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air, the cattle of the earth, and so on. However, I do think it’s worth considering giving the fowl of the air dominion over the cattle of the earth, because it would be really funny to see, like, a wildebeest or whatever getting bossed around by a baby duck.



The “herb yielding seed” is a hella fresh move. 4:20!



Why are the creatures more or less symmetrical on a vertical axis but completely asymmetrical on a horizontal axis? It’s almost like You had a great idea but You didn’t have the balls to go all the way with it.



The dodo should just have a sign on him that says, “Please kill me.” Ridiculous.



Amoebas are too small to see. They should be at least the size of a plum.



Beta version was better. I thought the Adam-Steve dynamic was much more compelling than the Adam-Eve work-around You finally settled on.



I liked the old commenting format better, when you could get automatic alerts when someone replied to your comment. This new way, you have to click through three or four pages to see new comments, and they’re not even organized by threads. Until this is fixed, I’m afraid I won’t be checking in on Your creation.



***SPOILER***

One of them is going to eat something off that tree You told them not to touch.



Adam was obviously created somewhere else and then just put here. So, until I see some paperwork proving otherwise, I question the legitimacy of his dominion over any of this.



Why do they have to poop? Seems like there could have been a more elegant/family-friendly solution to the food-waste-disposal problem.



The lemon tree: very pretty. The lemon flower: sweet. But the fruit of the poor lemon? Impossible to eat. Is this a bug or a feature?



Unfocussed. Seems like a mishmash at best. You’ve got creatures that can speak but aren’t smart (parrots). Then, You’ve got creatures that are smart but can’t speak (dolphins, dogs, houseflies). Then, You’ve got man, who is smart and can speak but who can’t fly, breathe underwater, or unhinge his jaws to swallow large prey in one gulp. If it’s supposed to be chaos, then mission accomplished. But it seems more like laziness and bad planning.



If it’s not too late to make changes, in version 2.0 You should make water reflective, so the creatures have a way of seeing what they look like.



S*H*O*E*S!!! Manolo Jimmy Choo Vuitton Prada +++ All sizes Great deals Free shipping! @@@ [www.shoezwarehouze.com]



Penguins are retarded. Their wings don’t work and their legs are too short. I guess they’re supposed to be cute in a “I liek to eat teh fishes” way, but it’s such obvious pandering to the lowest common denominator.



There’s imitation, and then there’s homage, and then there’s straight-up idea theft, which is what Your thing appears to be. Anyone who wants to check out the original should go to www.VishnuAndBrahma.com. (And check it out soon, because I think they’re about to go behind a paywall.)



Putting boobs on the woman is sexist.



Wow. Just wow. I don’t even know where to start. So the man and his buddy the rib-thing have dominion over everything. They’re going to get pretty unbearable really fast. What You need to do is make them think that there were other, bigger, scarier creatures around a long time before them. I suggest dinosaurs. No need to actually create dinosaurs—just create some weird-ass dinosaur bones and skeletons and bury them in random locations. Man will dig them up eventually and think, What the f?



Epic fail.

DNA

Where you been?

That been the idea for quite some time.

 

[southwind]

God sent that DNA ! 😱

 

[Ms Tree]

Where you been?

That been the idea for quite some time.

The article seems to indicate other wise. Religion has always thought it was magic. Science has thought that the basic building blocks were here when earth was created not that the actual DNA building blocks were seeded from outer space.

 

[Seatacus]

What is really strange is that the building blocks of DNA matches the DNA of the scientist examining the meteorite. What are the odds? :unsure:

 

[Ms Tree]

If we are the only carbon based life forms that use that DNA it would be very remote.

The fact that they found DNA on a meteor that is similar to ours might indicate that we are not u Que in the universe and therefore finding the DNA is not a rare event.

Not where I went to school.

Like I said...that has been the general view for quite some time........from your own article:

lending credence to the idea that life is not homegrown but was seeded here by asteroids, meteorites, or comets sometime in Earth’s early lifetime.

It is quite interesting for the moment......I remember that hockey puck graph a while ago and how reliable it became.

[Ms Tree]

That was never in any science book that I ever read.

Your own article states the obvious scientific view....you can't read and interpret what you post?

I'm impressed.

Dell, I keep thinking "Who Cares, how does this DNA help our staggering economy, restore our prestige"

I mean really we're too broke to fund the research into it's origins anyway.

I agree..............I also noticed from the article:

big news from a team of NASA-funded researchers


Reminds me of all the hoopla regarding GW and colleges being funded by the ones who expect results the way Al Gore sees it.

My basic argument though is from the OP's own article it highlights 'possible' proof of a theory or idea that is directly mentioned in the article that the OP has no knowledge of but posts about it anyway.

Catch my drift?

 

[Ms Tree]

There are lots of theories about various things. Some believe that 9/11 was an inside job. Some believe that the pyramids of Egypt were built with the assistance of aliens. Some believe OBL is still alive and kicking. Just because there is a theory or idea does not mean it is supported by fact or is widely accepted. There may have been those who believed that the DNA building blocks came from some place other than terra firma but this is the first indication that there may be proof to support that idea.

Maybe God spilled some on his way to work?
