Meteorites: Tool kits for creating life on Earth
From Meteorites, the Building Blocks of Life NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center/Chris Smith 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. This is big news, of course, because if the ingredients for life were brought here from some external source, there's always the possibility that the same thing has happened elsewhere in the universe--possibly many times over. Scientists have been extracting fragments of DNA from meteorites for decades now, but there was never really hard proof that those pieces of biological molecules were native to the extraterrestrial object rather than terrestrial contamination that occurred when the object slammed into Earth.

Good topic, fascinating idea.
Most right wingers insist many of them, more than 6% in fact, are "scientists" but believe "life" came from a single spaceman. And he used his magical powers to shimmer people into being from dirt. Probably wore "sandals".
Poisoned well, proof that some idiots will politicize everything while saying their political opponents are "anti-science." What a fucktard!
