Ancient Comet Fragments Found In Antarctic Snow
An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from Cosmos Magazine:
"Two tiny meteorites recently recovered from Antarctic snow contain material dating back to the birth of our Solar System, and may provide clues about the delivery of organic matter to Earth. Researchers believe that these micrometeorites likely came from the cold, comet-forming outer regions of the gas and dust cloud that comprised the early Solar System, and sample its composition. Discovered in 2006, the particles measure less than 0.25 mm across and survived their journey through Earth's atmosphere relatively unscathed. More importantly, scientists found that they contain unusually high amounts of organic matter."
Organic material from space... of course...

Looking at the very small to see further:

Almost full circle

The relevant part of the the first blog post mentioned in the above link (completing the circle):
"Whats to believe?
When the void became aware of itself a split happened into two, consciousness and existence. Two things that either are or they are not but they are symbiotic, given their origin. What exist in consciousness and in existence, are variables. Things change in the content of both. If you are all that exist, how do you know you will continue to exist? You must expand, so to know new and different. The religion of survival, we all have it, even god, where it comes from.
A way of knowing you exist, is to create life that will allow viewing and experiencing the contents of existence and consciousness in part, blind to the whole. We are but recorders that will someday report back to the whole. And what of our purpose, each one of us? To contribute to the insurance of survival. So of what use are you to the whole, if you don't? Why bring or allow you back if you are not going to help survival insurance? When you die and return to the whole, you judge yourself.
The survival instinct, built into all living things. Religion's a word that wouldn't exist without separation of beliefs. But all religions know survival.
The closer you are to knowing what is, the more control you have over what can be.
Made in god's image, we are. But we are in part, not whole. So it is even written, the flaw of god. The split of the void, birth of god. But purity whole is only the void. All outside is in part, including god. So sin but like god, to create, not destroy, as nothing is something to avoid!
Whats to come, perhaps by late 2012.

I'm sure we're gonna find some little nose-hair of some alien being that'll PROVE Christianity's just a farce. :)
(It won't, I promise you. You're in MORE danger of proving the Bible right in MORE ways than disproving it.)
Ya know, if it's all random, outta-nowhere conversion of light into matter, and this is just one of a billion Earths all class-M and full of apples and watermelons....
Why bother to study science at all? Randomness would have no 'secret' to decode, right? Pull out of science classes; drink more, don't you watch TV? Have random sex, hurt other people- nothing matters.
Unless it does.
There are dozens of proofs in the Bible; why not investigate for yourself? I used to be like any one of you guys; I used to CARE if a woolly-mammoth was found on another planted. Do you think I reached this conclusion by anything but the same logic you guys are using *right*now*?
Call me if you see a light-speed capable ship. I have a life to live.

Serious question: Why do Christians not en masse undertake suicidally hazardous activities? Surely offing yourself would be a stronger message than the currency your kind uses today, like pedophile priests, abusive pastors, shouting TV charlatans, and proven fraudulent faith "healers".
Because suicide is a sin. How convenient.
