Origin of Life

Yes, that is what it means.

So then the multiverse does not replace the universe, it contains the universe along with many other universes.

Magic man in the sky waves his magic wand.

does it make you sad that God lets Satan do whatever he wants with people like you?......

yes

I will add something to this discussion.

Notice how same/similar the galaxies and star systems are? They even have separate classifications for them with names.

If they were developed the same way, it stands to reason that individual planets would be developed the same way.

See this? Evolution isn't limited to life.



Ever seen the Pleiades and various nebulae? Those stars there are newborn stars.

What about all the Christian church groups who've died when things happen like their van load of passengers lost control on the interstate, crossed the median and slammed head on into a semi tractor-trailer. Or a semi crossed the median and slammed into them. Or they veered off the shoulder and rolled several times?

Or all the Christians who've died in airplane crashes?

Do you really think the claim of being a Christian protects people?

I currently lean towards number two, but keep an open mind.
It would be nice if we had more intel on emergence: the transition from non-life to life. There is zero chance something as mind boggling complex as even a single eukaryotic cell just appeared on the scene without an incredible sequence of interim events. Unless we were seeded from another planetary body.

Extremely rare seems most likely given current results.

Oddly, this article popped up that human beings may be late comers to the Life Party.

The Milky Way is probably full of dead alien civilizations, according to physicists
....The paper, which is a preprint and awaiting peer review, amounts to an update to the Drake equation, a probabilistic model used to estimate the number of extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy developed in 1961 by astronomer and astrophysicist Frank Drake. Using modern astronomy and statistical modeling techniques, a team of physicists from the California Institute of Technology were able to identify different factors that would point to the potential existence of extraterrestrial life. Using research conducted in recent years, driven largely by discoveries made possible thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope and Kepler Space telescope, the scientists were able to examine conditions within the galaxy that could result in alien civilizations. That includes factors like sunlike stars near Earthlike planets, frequency of supernovas, and the time necessary for intelligent life to develop under the right conditions. Perhaps most importantly, they took into consideration the tendency of advanced civilizations to experience self-annihilation. And as it turns out, any alien life that came before us likely gave into that tendency long before we showed up on the scene....

Dutch Uncle, do you there are pro-life/pro-choice galaxies/nebulae?

[AProudLefty]

Our very own sun was once a cute yellow baby.

I wonder if they had a Color Reveal party back then?

an interesting factoid: we just learned in the past decade we live in a bar galaxy, not the classic spiral galaxy.

I maintain that one of the most iconic images of 21st century science is that sky map of the cosmic background microwave radiation. For some weird reason the diffusion of energy in the first 400,000 years after the big bang resulted in tiny variations in energy density, and that is apparently what gave birth to the galaxies, star systems, and intergalatic voids we currently see in the observable universe.

Good to see they update the Drake equation. That thing was really nothing more than a wild assed guess

[AProudLefty]

Here's a simulation. Do you notice the same patterns? After you finish a bath, what do you do? Unplug and watch the swirly going down like toilet. That's what it is.

Uncle Dutch, do you think there were floaters like some people leave in their toilets in our galaxy? I think Jupiter and Saturn are floaters, difficult to flush.

I think we're so deep in the woods, that not even interstellar trash makes it out our way.

Although this did look odd passing through: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-11-...-says/10471738

All theoretical, of course, but it's an interesting theory. The timeline seems reasonable.
