Life on Earth May Have Arrived Via An Asteroid Says NASA

Scientists at NASA have uncovered new evidence that DNA components found in meteorites can originate in space, lending new credence to the theory that life on Earth may have arisen from a pre-existing "kit" of materials delivered via asteroid. The discovery is outlined in a new paper from Dr. Michael Callahan, whose team of researchers closely analyzed samples from 12 different meteorites, using a mass spectrometer and liquid chromatagraph. In their samples, they found traces of adenine, guanine, and a variety of molecules known as nucleobase analogs -- including three that are rarely found on Earth. Scientists have long known that meteorites can contain DNA elements, but were unsure whether these materials actually originate in space. The presence of these three molecules, however, suggest that they do, potentially raising new questions about the dawn of life on Earth, and beyond.

I'm here because my creator made me, I dont care what NASA has to say when it comes to the origin of life, my dna is complex, my fingerprint is like no other, and I have all the elements of the universe within me.

budlight? drink budweiser you'll get more wasted but to stay on topic, I think this view supports the scientology's belief system which im not down with,

im open minded and believe in religion, im not going to shut out the idea that maybe our dna did come from an asteroid, if that is truely the case then that would mean that wherever the asteroid came from their would have to be life, asteroids belong to god also.

ASTEROID = Spaceship

Think about it. It makes perfect sense.

you have a point, I also thought the same but could not find the right words, I star'd and flagged the OP, but I think this has already been posted, not so sure

I agree.

There is a long held theory in Astrobiology called panspermia , this is another pointer to the undoubted reality that life is widespread throughout the Galaxy .

If you Look a little further you'll see i have posted pictures I took last October! Watched for 1 hour as a group of for ufo's came close to my house and 1 landed for an hour!

I have been interviewed only last week by local radio about my sighting - when did you have yours? the week before ufo digest interviewed me.

is this serious!!???
im asking because ive got a meteorite by the side of me that my daughter found metal detecting and im due to take to cardiff museum for confirmation next week!
so i could have some kind of alien by the side of me ?

no one ive showed knows what it is but i will find out 100% definate if it is a meteorite next week

Please post the findings, looks interesting, by the way I'm in Swansea!

OK, but if life may have came to Earth on an asteroid, then where did the life on that asteroid originally came from?

There still needs to be at least one place somewhere that life spontaneously began.

An alien civilization spreading viruses as nano-robotic terraformers or just nature is some ways the two are indistinct
