The Drake Equation Fallacy

a reply to: Grenade

oh joy - a " science degree " - that took " lots of classes " and 20 years in the " science feild " - you is obviously a top expert

hmm - it is my experience that people who make nebulously vague claims about thier qualifications - often turn out to have some mickey mouse diploma in utter bollox like creation physics from some unacredited " institution " - run by cultists

BREAKING: Scientists claim to have found first known ET protein in Meteorite

Drake Equation: 1
Creationists: 0

The protein they found has normal earthly amino acids. The anomaly is the iron atom terminations at the end of the chain. This is most likely due to the meteorite (which is comprised mostly of iron) reaction with biological matter that it impacted upon hitting earth. This is the much more likely conclusion because the amino acid glycine (the one they mention in the protein polymer) has a melting point of 451 degree F, and therefore would have melted off the meteorite when it was travelling through the ionosphere if the protein was actually extra-terrestrial. The extra deuterium present was likely due to the impact energy of the meteorite hitting earth. It is much more plausible that the meteorite hit biological life upon impact with earth and the iron in the meteorite reacted with its protein chains.

You have to analyze this stuff on your own, you can't just be a blind believer Barcs.

Its that it did not take in its equation the flat earth theory or even the hologram universe. Or a million billion other things.

Not to mention grossly underestimating the amount of common sense in
people of a less fortunate education.

which is - a perfect example of the 2nd type of person - qualifications that have zero application to a topic

no wonder you were none specific firts time

a reply to: ignorant_ape

Actually a lot of my qualifications are quite heavily reliant on Physics and Math.

I tend to find those who belittle others qualifications and experience have none of their own.

Tell me what makes you better qualified on this subject, because other than tonguing Barcs ass I’ve yet to see any form of expertise. Also if you’re going to attempt to use expressive language it’s good form to at least spell check. Sometimes I really struggle and have to read your posts several times to be sure I’ve understood.

Even Jesus would agree this is good science.
