Panspermia

Marquel Gray Prof. Heather Clark 7/22/13 Eng.111-60A The origin of life: Intelligent Design vs. materialistic naturalism The origin of life has been questioned by men for thousands of years. Scientist have studied the universe extensively and developed various theories to answer questions related to the origin of life. Questions like, how did life begin? Is the universe the result of chaotic chance or intelligent design? How did life on earth come to be? These are some of the many questions

Since the 1960s, space scientists have suggested that comets, interplanetary dust particles and meteors brought with them gases and water into the Earth’s atmosphere. Comets are made of interstellar ice and dust. As they pass through the warm inner solar system, part of the frozen contents of the comet boils away as dust and gas, some of which may get attracted by Earth’s gravity into our atmosphere. In 1996 the US NASA announced that fossilised evidence of ancient life was found in a meteorite originated

This research paper describes the most common theories about the origin of life and evolution on earth. All of the theories have originated from the thought of something evolving, for example the Primordial Soup Hypothesis, which suggests that life was created when an ocean of chemicals from the atmosphere and a form of energy created amino acids, which then have evolved into the different species. A chemist named Stanley Miller tested the Primordial Soup Hypothesis by sending an electrical charge

The Solar System consist of eight large and small objects known as planets. Earth is one of the eight. There has been rumours of a ninths planet but is not considered a planet. Planets have been moving in a nearly circular orbit around the Sun for several years now, but there is only one planet known to mankind to have life and is habitable for life. It is believed that there is a chance there could be life on another planet, scientist have been researching and collecting data to prove that life

primitive soup. Other theories that give us an example of how life started are as followed: deep sea vent; clay; panspermia; and RNA (9, 10). The deep sea vent describes how some vents produce high ph and cooler water for a suitable environment to live in (9, 10). The theory with the clay is that it becomes like a dish to hold amino acids or RNA nucleotide together to form polymers (9, 10). Panspermia, life from space, is meteorites from outer space that crash into the earth containing organic molecules (9

supported the creation of complex biomolecules. Dan Luo presented a way for inexpensive hydrogels to be used to produce proteins. Then he realized he might have discovered more than just a way to synthesize protein, but how life was synthesized. Panspermia Hypothesis: Sales Gyon De Montlivant was a major contributing factor to the development of this hypothesis. He proposed that life came from the moon. While he was proven wrong, he jumpstarted a theory based on live starting from space materials

The Primordial Soup Hypothesis is the theory that says that 3.55 billion to 3.8 billion years ago life began in ponds or oceans from the combination of chemicals from the atmosphere and some form of energy. It created amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. This theory was proposed by Russian chemist A. I. Oparin and English geneticist J.B.S. Haldane in the 1920s. They proposed this hypothesis independently. The Miller-Urey Experiment in 1953 is the strongest evidence for this theory. A graduate

here are many different theries presented by very hard working, and deticated scientists relating to biomolecules. This paper is about all the different hypotheses, and how these scientists back them up. There are six hypotheses that I will explain... The first, is the Primordial Soup Hypothesis. It was developed by a russian chemist named A.I. Oparin, and he was helped by some one named J.B.S Haldane. In 1924, Oparin put forward his theory that life on earth developed through gradual chemical

Most of us are familiar with the panspermia hypothesis – that life can be “seeded” from asteroid, comet, and planetoid contents – but to date, no direct evidence has been discovered. So, why should we consider meteorites to be possible parents? The truth is out there somewhere and these space rocks contain the essentials, as far down as to amino acids. Until now, what has been recovered has been regarded as structured. However, the matter of Tagish Lake arose. In January of 2000, a huge meteoroid

What is evolution? Are we really related to monkeys? What does religion have to say about the theory of evolution? These are questions that science is still trying to figure out. The simplest answer for the first question is that evolution is decent with modification. This means that, for example, the first humans used their wisdom teeth since they would eat hard and rough foods such as raw meat, nuts, leaves, etc. Now, humans don 't use those teeth anymore because we have softer foods, and even
