People living WAY out make an interesting wildlife find.

Probably under the turntable plate in someone's microwave oven.... that, or the can opener.

My guess is Uranus.

No, we all know that's where Politicians come from... and there are no brainwaves within them.

My guess is Uranus.

Wasn't it Ron L Hubbard who put forward the theory that we evolved from jettisoned sewerage from passing alien space craft so you are close.

 

[MossRoad]

My guess is Uranus.

Hmmm..... never looked. :laughing:

Either way, proof that the "life" can travel through space.

Life finding it's way here through space from another planet is WAY more logical and probable than any other made up creation theory I've heard. (Usually involving deities, or living on a turtles back, etc...)
Regarding the first life on earth, I'd say that space bacteria "seed" is more probable than sparking life from a mixture of base elements.

Except that explanation only leaves the original question. Where did THAT alien life come from. If you're looking for a god you'll have to look elsewhere.

oooo, you bad, bad boy!

More likely, they are bacteria sent up on other satellites which are floating around up there in all the junk. But... it will make for splendid news when they 'match' earth's bacteria and the people begin thinking we've been seeded by aliens.

Yeah, from the article...."The bacteria were brought to the space station accidentally on tablet PCs together with various materials that are placed aboard the ISS for long time to study the materials behavior in outer space."

I "think" that refers to the preceding paragraph which starts:

"Some terrestrial bacteria also survived on the space station’s external surface..."

I'm guessing sodomy...same as where most lawyers come from...?

Somewhere... it would have had to originate.

It's like the chicken or egg. What's not to say it originated here then went and came back. 4 billion years is a long time. I'm sure there will be thousands of different theories of when, where and how.

The star ship enterprise and toilet paper are the same. Both circle Uranus in search for clingons.
