Water found on Earth predates the formation of the Sun –

I had to think about this for a second


Heritage of Earth's water gives rise to hopes of life on other planets

A pioneering new study has shown that water found on Earth predates the formation of the Sun – raising hopes that life could exist on exoplanets, the planets orbiting other stars in our galaxy.

The ground-breaking research set out to discover the origin of the water that was deposited on the Earth as it formed.

It found that a significant fraction of water found on Earth, and across our solar system, predates the formation of the Sun. By showing that water is 'inherited' from the environment when a star is born, the international team of scientists believe other exoplanetary systems also had access to an abundance of water during their own formation.

"By identifying the ancient heritage of Earth's water, we can see that the way in which our solar system was formed will not be unique, and that exoplanets will form in environments with abundant water. Consequently, it raises the possibility that some exoplanets could house the right conditions, and water resources, for life to evolve."

Scientists have previously been able to understand the conditions present when stars are formed by looking at the composition of comets and asteroids, which show which gases, dust and, most importantly, ices were circling the star at its birth.

The team of international scientists were able to use 'heavy water' ices – those with an excess of water made with the element deuterium rather than hydrogen – to determine whether the water ices formed before, or during, the solar system's formation.

1. Ruh..roh.....Better read Genesis again

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

So according to this
Water was there before the light of the sun......


Sorry folks, I couldn't help it...I can spin anything....

2. But not before light!

There had to be previous stars to get the water.

3. And God said to his bros

Let us make man in our image

"Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever--" (Gen. 3:22, NASB). Now get the fuck out eden........


“Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

Besides being assholes to man .... God and his buddies being from a type III civilization on the Kardashev scale of galactic development
were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake letting man come down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been a bad move, and that no one should ever have left the oceans.

Luckily the Vogons hadn't planned their highway yet and this new solar system they created was their planned experiment. for the time being.... but that's another chapter......

Happy towel day.
