Solar System Shield January 14, Water vapor in planet-forming disks may block ultraviolet radiation from destroying water and other important molecules for life, according to new calculations. Adjust slider to filter visible comments by rank. Raises some interesting questions, doesn't it: Just how does water vapor and dust coalesce into a comet, all on its own, without some outside interference? If you think it only takes time, please explain the physics involved.

Given that all the basic ingredients will be in place, just how does life suddenly get started all on it's own, without any outside interference? How does cell membranes form and stay in place at the right temperatures, all by themselves? How does the ports in the cell-wall get to form with the right signalling pathways - all by itself. Come to think of it, those ports consists of some amino acids - just where do those come from all on their own? How does the horrendously complex DNA and RNA molecules get started, all on their own without some outside protection or manipulation?

Say nothing about the enzymes required to perform the vital functions of life. Just how does water vapor and dust coalesce into a snowflake, and build up mile-thick glaciers, without some outside interference? Given that all the basic ingredients will be in place, just how does any physical process whatsoever get started all on it's sic own, without any outside interference? Modern, sophisticated cells didn't just pop into existence ex nihilo, replete with RNA, DNA, cell walls, ion channels, signalling pathways, enzymes, and all manner of organelles.

What you fail to understand because you fail to perceive basic facts due to your chronic state of denial is that it took life about 3 Billion years of evolution to progress to a point where the first primitive multi-cellular organisms could emerge. That's 3 Billion years of simply building up single-celled sophistication. How many generations does that amount to?

Thanks for the story and the picture. Water consists of two elements, H and O, that are dominant in the outer and inner layers of supernova debris. That is why the outer and inner parts of the solar system are made of a. H, He, C, N made giant gaseous planets and carbonaceous inclusions of diamonds. These two layers were not completely separate, but water consists of elements from each.

Kevin isn't really interested in the answers to these questions, he just wants to stick his desert God in there and be done with it. H, He, C, N made giant gaseous planets and carbonaceous inclusions of meteorites - graphite and diamonds. Kevin, the physics you're asking for are a combination of time and gravity to the tune of many many many years. Imagine each particle is like a miniature magnet due to its own gravitational pull. Eventually many magnets come together from different directions and velocities to form celestial bodies like comets, moons, planets, etc When many bodies are flying around they inevitably fly into eachother creating more mass from the sum of the individual colliding parts or in extreme cases additional celestial bodies break off from the larger body like the the case of our moon.

Hmm i'd like a small addition to the opening sentence: There is nothing wrong with the believe in God I believe in God, and I believe all of our science, our research is a part of Gods work because it explains to us the mystery of the universe I am not sure God plopped adam and eve here I do believe god made it so evolution, science, chemistry, physics could create God or no god the universe, its creation are amazing and it needs to be studied further than the bible or any religious belief. Believe in God's glory not your own interpretation of who and what god is Sure does , eg: What is of particular interest is that this is current information.

What we are seeing happening only happened years ago. In other words what they are observing is happening NOW not millions or billions of years ago as is the case with most of such observations. Just how does the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit coalesce into a single god, all on its own, without some outside interference? Given that all the three basic god ingredients will be in place, just how does life suddenly get started all on its own, without any outside interference? How does the horrendous god of the bible get started, without some outside protection or manipulation?

Say nothing about the magic required to create life and the world in its current form years ago. Oh, and so by the way, those need magic to exist - bummer! Did he just spontaneously pop into existence? JSY is a local charity that has been set up in Jersey to provide support for vulnerable and at risk young people in the Island.
