Natural Science 301 Guidelines

This is an open forum area for all members for discussions on all issues of science and origins. This area will and does get volatile at times, but we ask that it be kept to a dull roar, and moderators will intervene to keep the peace if necessary. This means obvious trolling and flaming that becomes a problem will be dealt with, and you might find yourself in the doghouse.

As usual, Tweb rules apply. If you haven't read them now would be a good time.

    Though they say that the late heavy bombardment would not have sterilized the planet, this indicates that life got an early start, under hostile conditions, even.
    Yes, if you had bothered to read my post, you'd have seen i quoted that exact bit of information.

    Agreed it started early relative to the total history of the earth. But it's still a staggering amount of time, especially when you consider how fast favorable chemical reactions can occur.

      The part I was interested in was "We find that the last universal common ancestor of cellular life (LUCA) predated the end of late heavy bombardment", not the 3.9 that you quoted, though.

      Hubert Yockey would disagree! But maybe we'll leave it at that, unless you're willing to buy his paper.

        And we should all listen to a non biologist who wrote 50 years ago when it came to this topic, obviously.

          This references by Tour and Yockey do not reflect the status ot the origin of life research.
