More miraculous than any creation mythos.

More miraculous than any creation mythos. A "mythos" might not exist for the reason you think it does. And...is it miraculous for water molecules to be present on asteroids? I would think that it would be expected, that is, that nobody is really surprised to find confirmation for what was expected... |

I would think that it would be expected, that is, that nobody is really surprised to find confirmation for what was expected... Amino acids were a little less expected when they were found for the first time. Which means that the first "bricks of life" can even appear in the most unforgiving of environments. Life could be present on billions of planets throughout the universe. Doesn't that give you pause? The questions that could come to your mind: 1) How many planets did Jesus appear on? 2) does he always die on each planet executed by the dominant life form in a gruesome way? 3) Doesn't he get tired of playing the same role again and again with a similar outcome? |

Here's an idea: Why don't you do some research in the discovery of amino acids and get back to us with the results?

What's the relevance? Is it a miracle or not? |

While I too can be overly pedantic, I'd like to include the word miracleon the list of words above pedantry. The delivery of all the water necessary to sustain all the life on this miracle of a planet for the past 3.5+ billion years via collisions with other astral bodies is miraculous by any type of reckoning, no? Literally. |

So everything a planet contains comes from these asteroids and that of course includes its water. So finding water in some asteroids is not only NOT miraculous at all but it was very expected. In fact if it was proven that asteroids NEVER contain water THEN you would have your miracle because the existence of this water would be a total mystery. IOW, you're off the mark, way off the mark! |

Yeah, I'd be curious to know why water is any more "unlikely" than any other molecule found on Earth. Water is necessary for us to be alive but so are many other things like iron for example. We couldn't exist in an environment totally lacking in iron. We may survive there for a short time but eventually we would die and we could certainly not have children there. Why isn't iron miraculous as well? |

Maybe it's just ironic?

What you call an accretion of cosmic dust I call the cosmos. Up until just a moment ago, the smartest creatures on this planet thought their water came from upstream, or from a storm cloud, or maybe from a mountain top glacier. But you and I, when asked where our water came from, we say it came "from comets and asteroids." Life on this planet for damned near four billion years, and only the last couple of generations of humans have been able to think of and say that. We are miracles, bro. Own it. |
