[quote:Kai D Kravit (VALIS):MV8yMjgwNDE4XzM4ODA4OTk2X0Q0OEZENEU2] quoting "Knowbody Special": "They are LIARS. They don't even know, show and tell what is at the bottom of our own planet's oceans, yet they can tell which planets harbor life and which don't and tell us a number in a supposed infinite of potential unknowns. BULLSHIT. How about some detailed pictures of the face and pyramids on Mars before you tell us how some galaxy far, far away might harbor life. Please, more mumbo jumbo from FOOLS who know nothing, wouldn't know a truth if it slapped them in the face. Trying to impress the mindless and clueless sheeple into believing and trusting that they know what they are doing, WHEN CLEARLY THEY DO NOT. Cure the common cold before you worry about a planet light years away. What's the point if the majority will never go there anyways? Fix your own house first." :end quote Correction: They don't know about EVERYTHING at the bottom of the oceans. They DO know quite a bit about what's down there. For instance, the hydrothermal vents at the bottom of the Marianas Trench (the deepest spot we've been) houses a number of Xenophyophores, which are ancient prokaryotic, chemosynthetic microorganisms that survive by converting chemicals spewed from the vents into energy. Other more advanced organisms live down there and contribute to this chain by eating such xenophyophores. There is actually another area in the Gulf of Mexico where scientists have observed a whole new layer of super sense saline water below the normal ocean water (a lake under the ocean, if you will). This data goes to show that not only is photosynthesis completely unnecessary for life to exist on earth, it most certainly spawned 2 chains of evolution on just this one planet! [/quote]
