From the article
[ QUOTE ] The 2005 Deep Impact mission to Comet Tempel 1 discovered a mixture of organic and clay particles inside the comet. One theory for the origins of life proposes that clay particles acted as a catalyst, converting simple organic molecules into more complex structures [/ QUOTE ] Nothing new here, Genesis claimed man was made out of clay a long time ago.

The researchers calculate the odds of life starting on Earth rather than inside a comet at one trillion trillion (10 to the power of 24) to one against. [/ QUOTE ] What an embarrassment. |

Hmm I don't know, many top scientist still believe it probably originated on earth.

[/ QUOTE ] I think the theory states that there were ingredients on both earth and a comet or asteroid that combined to begin the process of life. I think this is different than stating all material for life simply landed here and took root. |

There are 2 main theories;
1. The primordial soup theory. The basic premise of this theory is that the basic elements required for life were floating around in the ocean w/e and with the scope of this eventually combined to form life. 2. Panspernian Theory Life started elsewhere, and was transported here on a comet. Basic Outline but bare with me, the 2 theories state that life would at one stage have had to combine to create life somewhere in the universe, the debate is simply whether it happened on Earth or not. The notion that it was created on Earth has much more weight behind it than than otherwise. Ryot, |

Scientists Say Life Originated on a Comet [/ QUOTE ] Its one possibility I guess. Its also more likely that organic matter from comets contributed to the development of life on earth. Or maybe it was just the water that did it. Its certainly likely that the comet bombardment 4+ billion years ago had some influence on the development of life. Septillion [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Sounds like nonsense, but amusing to see how they got that figure. Did they just divide the amount of clay on the earth by the amount of clay in the solar system four billion years ago? I see the article was adapted from a news release issued by Cardiff University. Does that mean it was written by one of the scientists or a reporter? |

Scientists say life was a SEPTILLION times more likely to have begun within a comet rather than on Earth. [/ QUOTE ] Man. Just when I was completely convinced it was multiverses. Guess ol' Crick wasn't totally loony. Edit: Hmm, looks like Crick was a little late: [ QUOTE ] Abstract The panspermia theory has antecedents which go back to the Old Kingdom in Egypt, and which are also found in early Hinduism, the philosophy of the Greek pre-Socratic philosopher Anaxagoras, and amongst the Jewish and Christian Gnostics. It is remarkable how explicit some of these early sources are in suggesting that the entire cosmos is full of seeds, and that life on earth originated from them. Here, a survey is undertaken of all these early beliefs, in order to present a pre-history to these conceptions and show that such ideas appear to be as old as civilization itself. [/ QUOTE ] |
