Darwinists did, they couldn't allow that to happen. Speaking as an Interventionist, I don't blame them. To me, God stands on equal footing with the lightning bolt. I see a better, far more rational answer to the mysteries of how life came to be on lanet Earth: it was put here by intelligent beings, and it has been continuously monitored by those same beings. Whether it's been developed for a purpose or toward a goal of some kind seems yond knowing at present, but it can be established with facts and with data that intervention by outside intelligence presents the most logical and most believable answer to the question of how ife came to be here, as well as of how and why it has developed in so many unusual ways in the past 550 million years. So now we come to the crux. years, become habitable for complex life? And guess what? A meteorite from Mars seems to contain fossilised evidence of the same kinds of nano- (extremely small) bacteria found on Earth today. All other planets, if they're ever examined, will probably reveal similar evidence of a primordial seeding. It would make no sense for terraformers to do otherwise. ew epee nn pepe we ee eee ee eee beyond knowing at present, but it can be established with f THE RUST ALSO RISES with data that intervention by outside intelligence presents the So, okay, our solar system is noticed by intergalactic terraform- most logical and most believable answer to the question of how ers as the new sun ignites and planets start forming around it.

(the extremophiles). But the bacteria have a purpose: to produce oxygen as a component of their metabolism. Why? Because life COSMIC ARKS almost certainly has the same basic components and functions Darwinists go through life waving their PhD credentials like everywhere in the universe.

However, their credentials give them "influence" and Wherever this process is undertaken, the terraformers have a "credibility" with the mainstream media, who don't have the time, major problem to deal with: iron. Iron is an abundant element in the ability or the resources to make certain that everything every the universe. It is certainly abundant in planets (meteorites are Darwinist says is true. They must trust all scientists not to have often loaded with it). Iron is very reactive with oxygen: that's political or moral agendas, and not to distort the truth to suit those what rust is all about. So on none of the new planets forming in agendas.
