Scientists find secret of life... in the stars
By Steve Connor, Science Editor
10 September 2004
A massive impact with a giant asteroid could have kick-started life on
Earth more than four billion years ago by providing an ideal environment
for incubating the world's first lifeform.
Scientists studying an impact crater in the Arctic have found evidence
to suggest that asteroids hitting the Earth can help life to flourish as
well as cause catastrophic destruction.
Charles Cockell, of the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge, said
analysis of rocks in the Haughton impact crater on Devon Island, Nunavut
Territory, Canada, has shown how asteroids can help life to flourish.
The intense heat of an asteroid impact causes rock minerals to
vapourise, leaving tiny cracks and crevices inside the rock where
microbes can live.
"We've discovered that rocks inside the crater are more heavily
colonised by microbes than the rocks outside the crater," Dr Cockell
told the British Association Festival of Science being held in Exeter.
"So what we have here is an example of how impact events can create a
habitat for life and not merely act as agents of destruction," he said.
The Haughton crater was created 25 million years ago when an asteroid
about a kilometre wide hit Earth, releasing energy equivalent to about
1,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs.
"When they hit the ground most of the energy is released as heat and one
of the effects of that is to provide the energy for simple organic
compounds to form more complex compounds," Dr Cockell said.
The heat from a similar impact about four billion years ago could have
lasted for between 1,000 and a million years. This may have kept any
water collecting within the crater at a constant warm temperature,
providing an ideal environment for the origins of life.
"It is one of the rare instances where asteroids and comets could
actually be good for life," Dr Cockell said.
"There's a growing feeling that as well as being beneficial in terms of
habitat, impact events can also improve conditions for the evolution of
life in the first place.
As well as telling us something about evolution on Earth, these impact
craters may be relevant for the search for life elsewhere," he added.
Meanwhile, methane gas has been found on Mars. The only explanation for
the gas is undiscovered volcanic activity or primitive underground life,
Andrew Coates, a British scientist at the Mullard Space Science
Laboratory, told the Festival of Science yesterday.

Bah, so you are telling me that Masonic also believe that God created
the world and is beyond his creation. This is the belief of any
believer
n the world. I ask you, how do you know Masonic also believe that. You
are supposed to show how you know, where you took that dubious
information, a masonic link that speaks of the creation of the world by
God. You are the one who licks the ***** of Barbarossa who says they are
satanic. Have they suddenly become fans of God as well to suit your
agenda? Or maybe they are not. Then are you saying that Barbarossa is
an
idiot now?
Anyway, let's see where you took that from so we know.
I am waiting... tap tap tap...
I believe Barbarossa has already done this, so I'll ignore it.
If you remove organised religion as the world knows it, but retained
the belief in the creater/designer/architect of the universe, you
would have the core of the Masonic doctrine. While this doesn't
differ much from my own beliefs, there are a few added differences
which distinguish it. For instance, I don't follow rituals. I don't
have superiors or subordinates. I don't achieve any predefined
degrees of enlightenment as discerned by a group of my superiors. I
also don't stop believing in organised religion and start believing in
(and naming) Lucifer as a deity, amongst others.
Freemasons do not believe that God, our Father in the Heavens, created
all
there is. It is their believe that a "grand architect of the universe" is
the creator
of everything. They insist that all religions just pray to the same god.
They
insist that God, Allah, Vishnu and others are just names for the same
thing.
This
cannot be right. If we read the Holy Bible we can read in the Book Job
that
God has sons, one of them is Satan. In the new testamony Jesus is also
refered
to as Son of God. On the other hand, if you read the Quoran you will find
that
Allah has no sons at all. So, the freemasons do not praise to the God of
the
Holy Bible, father of Satan and Jesus.
One of the "bibles" for Freemasons are the books by Helena Petrovna
Blavatsky. Those books are: Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine.
These are extracts out of her books:
"Lucifer represents.. Life.. Thought.. Progress.. Civilization..
Liberty..
Independence.. Lucifer is the Logos.. the Serpent, the Savior." pages
171,
225, 255 (Volume II)
"It is Satan who is the God of our planet and the only God." pages 215,
216,
220, 245, 255, 533, (VI)
"The Celestial Virgin which thus becomes the Mother of Gods and Devils at
one and the same time; for she is the ever-loving beneficent Deity...but
in
antiquity and reality Lucifer or Luciferius is the name. Lucifer is
divine
and terrestial Light, 'the Holy Ghost' and 'Satan' at one and the same
time." page 539
Helena Petrovna Blavatsky 32°
The Secret Doctrine
At least I didn't have to go Googling for Jean *again*. Thanks. It's
about time he stood on his own two feet and learnt how to Google for
himself.
There is much more very disturbing news in those books, most of it is
meant to destroy Christianity, Islam and Judaism and to install the pagan
religions of the Aryans, Hindus and Buddhism. You can obtain those books
yourself in a good antique bookshop. The worshipping of Satan is the core
of the Theosophic society which is also part of the international secret
societies such as Freemasonry, Illuminatie, Skull And Bones.

Barbarossa

is. Mysticism, or paganism is at the core, however. You can see this
within their ancient Egyptian symbolism, as well as from the name of
their branch of the Illuminati - the Druid Council (Committee of 13).

Nostradamus in his quatrains keeps on mentioning conspiracies,

more if you are convinced that Nostradamus indeed saw the
future. It would be insane then to trust Nostradamus but to ignore

Nah. No etc. Only in 8,87 does it speak of some death that was

I just finished reading about the myth (the synopsis was about 1,000 words
long, so by no means extensive). What I find there is that Apollo was seen
"as a patron of intellectual pursuits", he "represented the height of male
attractiveness", had many lovers and adventures, and established an Oracle
at delphi.
It is a beautiful story, but I fail to see how it is relevant to this
conversation.
My point is simply that nobody knows where life came from, so you can't
possibly argue that there is a god for certain. You *may* be right, but that
constitutes a belief, not a certainty. Science failing to provide a
complete answer doesn't make your answer right.
Good Day,

God at all for that. Total ignorance versus clear statement.
Your clear statement: "God made Life"
My clear statement: "Man invented God"
How are you more right than me?
Please read the Apollo myth of the Greeks, you will discover a
huge discovery!
Kind Regards,
Barbarossa
I just finished reading about the myth (the synopsis was about 1,000 words
long, so by no means extensive). What I find there is that Apollo was seen
"as a patron of intellectual pursuits", he "represented the height of male
attractiveness", had many lovers and adventures, and established an Oracle
at delphi.
It is a beautiful story, but I fail to see how it is relevant to this
conversation.
My point is simply that nobody knows where life came from, so you can't
possibly argue that there is a god for certain. You *may* be right, but
that
constitutes a belief, not a certainty. Science failing to provide a
complete answer doesn't make your answer right.
Hmmm, I see you read about Apollo, but not about his favorite holidays!
That you should read and then you will discover a huge discovery. The
ancient Greeks knew something that they actually could not have known.
Kind Regards,
Barbarossa

Instead of giving vague hints to hidden mysteries, why not just quote what
you
want us to read? Give a cite or link to the material.
"Read about Apollo' is a bit too vague...

Scientists find secret of life... in the stars
By Steve Connor, Science Editor
10 September 2004
A massive impact with a giant asteroid could have kick-started life on
Earth more than four billion years ago by providing an ideal environment
for incubating the world's first lifeform.
Scientists studying an impact crater in the Arctic have found evidence
to suggest that asteroids hitting the Earth can help life to flourish as
well as cause catastrophic destruction.
Charles Cockell, of the British Antarctic Survey in Cambridge, said
analysis of rocks in the Haughton impact crater on Devon Island, Nunavut
Territory, Canada, has shown how asteroids can help life to flourish.
The intense heat of an asteroid impact causes rock minerals to
vapourise, leaving tiny cracks and crevices inside the rock where
microbes can live.
"We've discovered that rocks inside the crater are more heavily
colonised by microbes than the rocks outside the crater," Dr Cockell
told the British Association Festival of Science being held in Exeter.
"So what we have here is an example of how impact events can create a
habitat for life and not merely act as agents of destruction," he said.
The Haughton crater was created 25 million years ago when an asteroid
about a kilometre wide hit Earth, releasing energy equivalent to about
1,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs.
"When they hit the ground most of the energy is released as heat and one
of the effects of that is to provide the energy for simple organic
compounds to form more complex compounds," Dr Cockell said.
The heat from a similar impact about four billion years ago could have
lasted for between 1,000 and a million years. This may have kept any
water collecting within the crater at a constant warm temperature,
providing an ideal environment for the origins of life.
"It is one of the rare instances where asteroids and comets could
actually be good for life," Dr Cockell said.
"There's a growing feeling that as well as being beneficial in terms of
habitat, impact events can also improve conditions for the evolution of
life in the first place.
As well as telling us something about evolution on Earth, these impact
craters may be relevant for the search for life elsewhere," he added.
Meanwhile, methane gas has been found on Mars. The only explanation for
the gas is undiscovered volcanic activity or primitive underground life,
Andrew Coates, a British scientist at the Mullard Space Science
Laboratory, told the Festival of Science yesterday.

Simply fascinating! Thanks for the link, seems like a very good site.
Good Day

As I suspected.
We crawled out from under a rock in a hole.

Well, since all y'all moved out, it's comfy and protected!
