space is STERILE, and only life can exist on earth, right my well programmed friends? ah, well, there goes THAT cornerstone of your belief system. good thing they're cluing you in slowly...it can get a little painful when you realize your identity is built on an assumed set of lies, never checked. but, then again, you're your own person, and no one can tell you what to do...right? better check with the experts on that one, first, eh? gengis right, again. have a nice solstice, Mooooooooo! http://www.spitzer.caltech.edu/Media/releases/ssc2005-26/release.shtml Partial Ingredients for DNA and Protein Found Around Star For Release: December 20, 2005 NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has discovered some of life's most basic ingredients in the dust swirling around a young star. The ingredients -- gaseous precursors to DNA and protein -- were detected in the star's terrestrial planet zone, a region where rocky planets such as Earth are thought to be born. The findings represent the first time that these gases, called acetylene and hydrogen cyanide, have been found in a terrestrial planet zone outside of our own. "This infant system might look a lot like ours did billions of years ago, before life arose on Earth," said Fred Lahuis of Leiden Observatory in the Netherlands and the Dutch space research institute called SRON. Lahuis is lead author of a paper to be published in the Jan. 10 issue of the Astrophysical Journal Letters. Lahuis and his colleagues spotted the organic, or carbon-containing, gases around a star called IRS 46. The star is in the Ophiuchus (pronounced OFF-ee-YOO-kuss), or "snake carrier," constellation about 375 light-years from Earth. This constellation harbors a huge cloud of gas and dust in the process of a major stellar baby boom. Like most of the young stars here and elsewhere, IRS 46 is circled by a flat disk of spinning gas and dust that might ultimately clump together to form planets.

How interesting............. The Bible says God man man from dust of the earth. And when we die we return to the dust of the earth. It also says he made things from nothing......could it be that he just reached out into the universe he created and grabbed some 'nothing' and made earth, after which he made man? This will be interesting to follow.
Interesting topic genghis found.
