Did a NASA scientist show why evolution is a farce? Why are there mo transitional fossils?

Question

Life didn't just naturally start so that evolution could begin did it?

The study’s sole author, Richard Hoover of NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., describes filament-shaped structures he found in freshly fractured slices of the Ivuna, Orgueil and Alais meteorites. He concludes that these structures resemble the remains of single-celled cyanobacteria, which live in water and convert sunlight into food. According to the study, his chemical analysis suggests that the putative fossils are most likely from bacteria that grew while in space rather than terrestrial contaminants that infiltrated the rocks after they fell to Earth.

Answer 1

No. Evolution is the process of change of life....How would that negate evolution?

Answer 2

Every single fossil ever found and every living organism on the planet today are "transitional fossils."



You seem to be a little confused the theory was that the structures in the fossils could have been fossilised bacteria showing evidence that life had also evolved elsewhere in the cosmos - in particular mars from where the composition of the rocks would suggest they had come.



jury is still out scientifically on whether they are or not - but there is mounting evidence that life of some form could also exist or have existed on a number of celestial objects.



Nobody mentioned evolution at all you imbecile

Answer 3

One scientist at NASA has been trying to claim he sees fossil evidence of Martian bacteria from meteorites known to have originated on Mars. He's a respected scientist, but this work is not generally accepted and there is a strong argument that the structures he sees arise naturally from geological processes. As you say, in other meteorites.



This is an argument about evidence of bacteria from Mars. It has nothing whatsoever to do with evolution on Earth. Certainly not "evolution is a farce".



What you're seeing is what scientific research looks like on the cutting edge, before it either gets into textbooks because of validation, or falls on the dustbin of history because it never gained sufficient validation. People argue about stuff.



But whatever way the argument comes out, it's an argument about "did life evolve on Mars".

Answer 4

Holy crap.



When are you people going to get it?



No god created the Earth - or human beings.



Evolution is NOT A LIE, nor is it "just a theory".

This man made a mistake - albeit a biggie.

Numerous scientists have refuted his work and

subsequent publishing in the highly questionable

Journal of Cosmology. It was NOT peer reviewed,

which is how science maintains its integrity.



Whether you realize it or not, your insistence that

we were created poses a very serious issue when

taking the education of our nation's children into

consideration. The more children hear about this

so-called "creationism" and find they can simply

ignore REAL SCIENCE, the further behind in

scientific and technological advancements the

US will fall.



In this day and age, in this world, that is

tantamount to throwing this country into

the trash.

Answer 5

If it was taken seriously, then it would be widely recognised by the scientific community. The simple fact that you put "Why are there mo transitional fossils?" indicates that you are either trolling or you do not understand. but to answer the question - Every single fossil is a transitional fossil and every single living organism is transitional from one organism to another.

Answer 6

It is just another instance of a little knowledge being a dangerous or at least misleading thing. People who wish to find evidence for their theories maybe jumped too quickly on this meteorite bacteria.

Answer 7

No. There are transitional fossils, and Evolution sits on mountains of evidence, fossil evidence. Based on what you questions states, you are trying to prove that life started on Earth via extra terrestrial means. This is a known hypotheses that has yet to be proven.



Anyone with a rational mind knows that bio-genesis has nothing to do with evolution.

Answer 8

That argues strongly for evolution--how do you figure it doesn't. What it shows is that given enough time--and the raw chemicals--the probability of abiogenesis yielding life is one. Thank you so much for posting a very strong piece of evidence that supports evolutionary theory.

Answer 9

It is quite easy for anyone who believes in an invisible man who lives in the sky with omnipotent powers to control our lives to have a hard time understanding something tangible. I will therefore waste no breath on trying to make you believe something you have already convinced yourself cannot be true. Just as you cannot convince me that there really is a God.

Answer 10

Evolution describes the development of life, not its origin. And there are mounds of transitional fossils, but most people refuse to recognise them as such, because they resemble other species (which is a no-brainer, since they are transitional). Homo erectus fossils are transitional fossils in the evolutionary chain of primates, for example.

Answer 11

So. You still haven't a clue about evolution. Or, how to interpret facts.



I suppose there's something to be said for consistency.

Answer 12

How is that evidence that evolution is a farce? If anything he was trying to prove extraterrestrials...... which he hasn't done.

Answer 13

Your question is moronic. I mean, did you even read this little snippet?



No transitional fossils... there are SO MANY...

Answer 14

number of authors doesnt count for anything.



what does count is he lacks expert peer reviews meaning he publishes glorified opinion rather then science.

Answer 15

How does that go against evolution?



Are you sure that you understand the differences between evolution, panspermia & abiogenesis?

Answer 16

nope

Answer 17

Nope.

And there are transitional fossils.

Answer 18

I don't mo.

Answer 19

Evolution is a hoax. There are NO INTERMEDIATE FOSSILS! The fossil record shows explosions of fully formed simple AND complex organisms at the SAME TIME! Evolution is for the easily deceived.

Answer 20

If evolution was close to reality, you would see almost all types of animals in transitional states in different parts of the world where the climate and the circumstances are different, like flying snakes (to help them scape eagles), poisonous rats (to help them defend themselves against snakes), talking kangaroos, fish etc (because intelligence and the ability to speak is very important for the survival of most animals) etc.



Why don’t we see anything like it then? Why haven’t all monkeys turned into men? Primitive men living in the hearts of Amazon jungles are men, but the monkeys living in the same environment are still monkeys. Talking about DNA? We have a lot in common with bananas, but we don’t look like one.

Answer 21

Because the evolution theory is a fraud.
