So in your deluded mind, there are no impact craters on Earth?

It must be your vivid imagination that has determined that my mind is deluded and think there are no impact craters on earth. I don't recall saying such a thing, so perhaps your mind is the one that is deluded.

Of course all that is science fiction right now but in 300 years, assuming we survive the next 300 years as a scientific civilization, it will probably be another story, with colonies on several nearby stars.

I guess I'm getting a tad esoteric.
The underlying point, or question is, what makes you think saving the human race--- among all the life on the planet--- is an advantage, evolutionary-speaking?
For that matter, if there is nothing special about manReveal Hidden Content
which evolutionary thought sans-special creation necessarily demands
then certainly nothing about earth or the rest of the life here is all that compelling.
Why not welcome the meteor?

An 'evolutionary advantage' means 'something that helps the survival of the species'.
Whoops, I didn't mean to come here. I stopped coming here to the Science forum when some of you began talking about how to keep all them religious nuts from polluting this place.
tick tock tick tock tick tock... the experiment has begun. Now I'm waiting like a good research scientist to see what the bugs under glass will do... they should be waking up soon. Reveal Hidden Content
The article you cite is another one of the straw-graspings we've seen time after time: the supposed definitive proof of randomly-inspired biogenesis. Hogwash.
In these experiments, one of the controls is always the experimenter--- in this case, the chemists. For this particular set-up (get it? nothing random about a set-up, ...[text shortened]... egardless of the fact that it does nothing more than solidify the shakiness of the whole idea...
Another win for the Intelligent Design crowd!

Originally posted by sonhouse Not weird. For one thing, you forget about human curiosity, how does it work, what is it made of, how long has it been here?
Another thing, you say 'for atheists', as if only atheists would be interested in evolution. You probably already know the Pope endorsed evolution so there are plenty of theists out there who buy into evolution. They also don't ta ...[text shortened]... her a theist or atheist to have curiosity. That is a big part of what separates us from animals.

You should start using your full brain, you may see the truth! 🙂

Oh maven, please educate me, in what way am I full of shyte? The part where we have a chance at one up on the dinosaurs by being able to deflect an incoming asteroid that can do us in? Is that using too much imagination?
Or perhaps the part where I said the Yucatan impact left a crater, now mostly buried underwater and on land, 180 miles wide? You don't think that happened?

So, yet again the same SNL video. Your mind has really slipped out of reality this time. Presented with evidence of a violent asteroid hit in the Yucatan, you post a video that suggests you could care less.

I care about the real world, not hypothetical imaginary atheist evilutionary nonsense.
