I don't believe this bs,just like they supposedly found evidence of bigfoot and the lochnest monster and etc,etc. We have all these secret aliens and monster's roaming the world. I repeat we would have known about all of this along time ago if this was true. Let me guess,It's a massive goverment cover-up. Again,I call BS on the whole thing.

Lol. Did you honestly just compare this (discovery of bacteria forming outside Earth) to Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster?

Maybe you should read the actual journal article.

I'm skeptic by nature,so I don't believe any of that stuff. Not even going to bother to read the article,as it's probably fake are a hoax are they really don't know what they discovered. So,no

You're a sceptic by nature, yet you're not going to read the journal article because it's probably a hoax?

That's not called scepticism, that's called ignorance! They're different things.

My money will be going on contamination, I think it's a more likely scenario. I'll wait and see though.

It's possible, but he appears to be quite thorough and seems to have done a range of analyses into amino acid & elemental composition and isotope ratios that make it unlikely that they're contaminants.

The early commentaries are actually quite interesting to go through and raise important issues. Comment 3 raises a good point:

Edit: No idea why the text is so small, here's the link:

http://journalofcosmology.com/Life101.html#4

"But the variety and complexity of chemical interactions over the unknown, potentially 4 billion year history of these meteorites leaves room for an as yet unidentified inorganic process which could have created them. For example, just last month in the journal Nature, similar filamentous structures have been explained by non-biological processes (Marshall et al., 2011)."



Fair enough, I haven't had time to read much into it so far because I'm at University, so I've only read two online articles. I'll have a look at the actual research a bit later. That was my response from reading the two articles.

No, I'm not calling you names, I'm telling you what the difference is between how you're acting against how you claim to be acting.

I don't believe this is alien life either yet, did you read my post? We believe the same thing. However, I probably wont make a real decision until I've actually found out a little more. Don't you see the difference?

Being a sceptic is not about just rejecting ideas without giving them a fair hearing, that's called ignorance, which I'm sorry to say  is what you're being (no offense). Being a sceptic is about enquiry. Ideally as a sceptic you should attempt to learn as much as you can about what you're being sceptical about. Then you can ask informed questions about areas you think should be questioned.

There's a big difference between being ignorant of something and being sceptical about it.

IMO, it seems like that is almost always the case.

I don't want them to find life by breaking apart an asteroid that was on Earth. They need to study astrobiology on other planets and habitable moons - Venus, Mars, Europa, Titan - which would offer a far better context for life and a much lower possibility for contamination.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

That's cool if true!

My only question is, what the heck was the bacteria doing on a meteorite? Space surfing?

I suppose it was formed on some Earth-like planet a long time ago in another part of our galaxy far far away. The bacteria fossilized and then some massive body or supernova blew the planet up into outer space forming this meteorite rubble.

Lol, I'm sceptical too, but that's why I read the article. At least if you read it and see what info and data is available you can form your own conclusions. It also has critiques from other scientists. It's not quite as silly as Big Foot
