[meteorite-list] Meteorites Reveal Another Way to Make Life's Components

[Michael Blood]

Hi Richard,

        As an Anthropologist I can assure you all religions have NOT
Viewed God as male - some were female and some were non-gender
Specific "spirit."

        Garry, I agree with you - interesting topic, but I fear a good many
On the list would see it as non-meteorite related in spite of the fact
That transpermia (via meteorites) compels such a discussion about why
People "of faith" would reject transpermia out of hand. They damned
Near tortured Galileo to death for saying the world was not the center
Of the universe (and he lived the remainder of his life under house arrest).
 
          Religious persecution of scientific recognition of inconvenient
facts has always been part of history and continues to this day - most
religions holding the view, "the way we see things IS the way things are"
while others overtly state that view AND feel the DUTY to kill anyone
when sees things differently - hence 9/11.

        Weird, weird, weird & weirder.

        Michael
