This has been a nice discussion withought negative bashing of peoples beliefs. 
Meteorites and cosmic dust is the closest we may come in our lives to setting 
on soil outside our solar system. Time will tell what the truth is. Just love 
everyone as best you can.

 Good points Richard, Michael, (I will
 apologize in advance for the length of this post; I started
 writing a couldn't stop)
 
 Divine Creation vs Natural Formation. That is the question.
 That is a VERY large part of why I love meteorites so much.
 Meteorites have allowed me a look into the universe and
 answer some very important personal, spiritual, and
 scientific questions as to the origins of Earth, the
 planets, and ourselves. Meteorites are keys to unlocking our
 past, the formation of Earth, the solar system, stars,
 galaxies, and ultimately the universe itself.
 
 The problem with the divine creation (anthropomorphic
 creator) hypothesis is that it's an assumption of
 observance. In other words the watchmaker paradox. The
 universe exists, how did it come to be? Something must have
 created it. Right? Not necessarily. That my friends is an
 absolute assumption.
 
 And the argument should stop right there, but it doesn't.
 Believers will argue that something can't come from nothing
 and non-believers will argue that everything came from what
 we perceive as nothing. (The Big Bang) Science and
 non-believers go one step further and say We don't know
 what happened before the Big Bang. That is intellectual
 honesty and good science. And this might be offensive to
 some, and I'm sorry if offends, but speculating that an
 anthropomorphic deity started it, is pure speculation,
 because no one knows what happened before, in the beginning,
 and it creates the creator to explain the unexplained
 formation of the observable. Why can't the unexplained stop
 and start at I don't know, lets find out. instead of god
 did it.?
 
 Evolution, Panspermia, Transpermia, Abiogenesis, Planetary
 Science, Astrobiology, Astronomy, Anthropology, Archeology,
 they all help explain the universe and world around us.
 
 Meteorites specifically are absolutely a vital clue to
 unlocking the secrets of the universe because they (the
 asteroids and comets that make them) not only are they the
 very material that formed our planet, every single planet,
 planetesimal, asteroid, comet, meteoroid, and spec of dust
 floating around our star was once part of another star
 before, as are we. It's a cycle, a system, a circular system
 of formation and destruction, somewhere in between life
 formed.
 
 Why create a creator to explain the unexplainable? Why not
 instead use science to determine origins rather than
 speculate on a divine supernatural beginning. Empirical
 evidenced fact outweighs speculative assumption every time.
 We are in fact part of nature, not separate from it. We need
 not transpose an anthropomorphic creatot to explain
 something we don't yet know.
 
 Regardless of whether there is a divine creator, or not, no
 one can prove it empirically either way. (yet) That's what
 science is for. If there is, science will find out, if there
 is not, science will find out. Either way, the truth will
 only be the truth when we prove it with evidence, not
 speculative assumption of the observable.

 Eric

 A major element in the problem with most of those calling
 Themselves Christians these days is that they
 See God as an anthropomorphic individual. This makes it
 Difficult to see the glory or creation in anything other
 Than comic book images.
 
 They actually envision God as a big (male) human who
 Literally, with His hands, shaped Adam out of mud.
 They cannot even see what a nearly perfect allegory that is
 For evolution arising from a primeval soup.
 
 Evidence of transpermia is growing - but don't confuse

Count et. al.,

I had the same thought about conducting any such discussion offlist.  I
just neglected to say so in my initial email.  Forgive my momentary lapse.

Anyone interested in participating or simply listening in please email me
directly using the topic 'Science and Faith' and I will set up a list for
this purpose.  In the name of privacy and a fully open discussion I intend
to strip all comments to the new list of all participant's identities.

 Maybe on some other LIst? Please.

Breaking away from invisible men in the sky and back to science..

Amino acids alone make up 60 ppm of Murchison, by weight. PAHs
make up 0.3% of its weight. Earth formed with huge quantities of
organic molecules.
Today’s biosphere has ~ 3 x 1041 C atoms. If the early Earth had this
many C atoms all in building block molecules with ~ 10 C atoms each,
that’s ~ 3 x 1040 total molecules. Say there are ~ 105 molecules with up
to 10 C atoms (uracil, dihydroxyacetone, naphthalene, etc.). That
means there are ~ 3 x 1035 copies of each molecule on Earth.
The volume of Earth's oceans and land is  1025 cm3. Each thimbleful
(cubic centimeter) of ocean had  3 x 1010 cm3 copies of each of these
different organic compounds. Each one can bang into each other one
in a matter of minutes, potentially making ~ 1010 new combinations.
Each day, lightning, solar radiation, volcanic heat, heat from impacts,
breaks apart molecules, making more new combinations possible.
Mixing in the oceans increased the combinations possible.
This went on, day after day after day, for 100 billion days (300 Myr)

 The problem with the divine creation (anthropomorphic creator)
 hypothesis is that it's an assumption of observance. In other words
 the watchmaker paradox. The universe exists, how did it come to be?
 Something must have created it. Right? Not necessarily. That my
 friends is an absolute assumption.
 
 And the argument should stop right there, but it doesn't. Believers
 will argue that something can't come from nothing and non-believers
 will argue that everything came from what we perceive as nothing.
 (The
 Big Bang) Science and non-believers go one step further and say We
 don't know what happened before the Big Bang. That is intellectual
 honesty and good science. And this might be offensive to some, and
 I'm
 sorry if offends, but speculating that an anthropomorphic deity
 started it, is pure speculation, because no one knows what happened
 before, in the beginning, and it creates the creator to explain the
 unexplained formation of the observable. Why can't the unexplained
 stop and start at I don't know, lets find out. instead of god did
 it.?
 
 Evolution, Panspermia, Transpermia, Abiogenesis, Planetary Science,
 Astrobiology, Astronomy, Anthropology, Archeology, they all help
 explain the universe and world around us.

Micheal, 
That is an excellent point that has always baffled me and I could never 
understand the thinking 
 of any religion in this world. All the different Gods worshiped world wide 
have always been considered a male.
Which brings up the problem, Which came first, the chicken or the egg.
I think all these religions could be easier to swallow if their God was a 
female.
That would answer the question, she God was a female carrying the first egg 
that resulted
 in the birth of the universe.

As a Christian and a lover of meteorites and all things scientific I think
this is a perfect topic for a full blown treatise.  If you will all bear
with me, offering your questions and opinions along the way, I would love
to tackle this in a manner that will hopefully meld as many

enlightening and logical.

Interested?  I sure am!  Great topic Michael.

Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorites Reveal Another Way to Make Life's Components

2012-03-11 Thread Richard Montgomery

Hi Michael and List (a different Richard here!)

Contrary to the often mis-conception that 'religion' and 'God' are 
interchangeable...and considering the 'dangerous' ground upon which a 
discussion of this sort may be inappropriate for the meteoritical discussion 
hereallow me this thought:


A person of 'faith' may not rule out transpernmia in theory;  it simply 
expands the pie.  A 'religious' person tied tether-bound to a strick 
doctrine may reject such an 'outlandish' notion out-of-hand, as it disrupts 
the entire reality from which their foundation is built.


In short, (in my small and insignificant yet human perspective), it should 
be rational to allow both transpermia and a perspective of God that 
trancends all current 'views' of even Christianity, allowing for all three 
to co-existjust a thought

2012-03-11 Thread Dick Lipke
I apologize for for unconsciously grouping all religions into the same kind
of thinking and beliefs. There are probably as many different religions as
there are stars.

I stopped following any religious beliefs when I was about 8 or 9 years old 
when all my 
questions regarding all the tragedies happening around me or around the world  
always managed to end up with the answer  well God works in mysterious ways.
Even at that age I could sense a fear in their voices to avoid giving me a 
answer
that could offend their God.
This got way off the path of meteorites. This subject is over and done with.
Thanks everyone one for their opinions.

Dear List,

I, for one, have been down this road more than a few times in the past three 
quarters of a century. It started when someone poured water on my head, without 
asking, shortly after birth. 

Gary's request to bear with him, so that he can field issues, questions and 
opinions that will hopefully meld into a singular answer that may be 
elightening and logical, I can only equate with answering a Sunday morning 
knock on the door to find nicely dressed atrangers with thick books under their 
arms who would just love to enlighten you.

Maybe on some other LIst? Please.

with me, offering your questions and opinions along the way, I would love
to tackle this in a manner that will hopefully meld as many
issues/questions as possible into a singular 'answer' that may be
enlightening and logical.

Interested?  I sure am!  Great topic Michael.

 Micheal,
 That is an excellent point that has always baffled me and I could never
 understand the thinking
  of any religion in this world. All the different Gods worshiped world
 wide have always been considered a male.
 Which brings up the problem, Which came first, the chicken or the egg.
 I think all these religions could be easier to swallow if their God was a
 female.
 That would answer the question, she God was a female carrying the first
 egg that resulted
  in the birth of the universe.

 A major element in the problem with most of those calling
 Themselves Christians these days is that they
 See God as an anthropomorphic individual. This makes it
 Difficult to see the glory or creation in anything other
 Than comic book images.

 They actually envision God as a big (male) human who
 Literally, with His hands, shaped Adam out of mud.
 They cannot even see what a nearly perfect allegory that is
 For evolution arising from a primeval soup.

 Evidence of transpermia is growing - but don't confuse
 Them with facts.
