Nanobacteria Discovered?

mfh writes "The BBC is reporting that a new form of life has been discovered, nanobacteria, which was previously only theorized by Finnish researchers Kajander and Ciftcioglu. A team lead by Dr John Lieske of the Mayo Clinic claims they have found irrefutable evidence of the existence of nanobacteria, which is likely responsible for a plethora of illnesses."

    that bacteria and viruses are just too big and have no ancestors that they could have evolved from.

    This is yet another piece of evidence for the evolutionary theory. I'm so glad we keep on discovering new stuff even today to stick it to those creationists.

    Prediction: At least one 75 message spamtastic flamebait thread arguing about the precise definition of life, with several smaller threads with varying degrees of skepticism because, well, everything new is probably crap, right?
