Science, Creation & EvolutionAliensSilicon is a possibility: http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/S/siliconlife.html But there's also another solvent instead of water: http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/A/ammonialife.html Which means, depending on the conditions, you can have carbon-water lifeforms, like us, or carbon-ammonia life-forms, and even, I guess silicon-water and silicon-ammonia. Silicon is more stable at higher temperatures than carbon, and it's entirely possible that silicon lifeforms would live in an 'atmosphere' of molten magma or gaseous sulphur instead of the oxygen-nitrogen-CO2 blend we live in. Silicon-ammonia lifeforms may or may not combine the advantages of sub-zero ammonia (boiling temperature -33C at 1 atmosphere) with the heat resistance of silicon. Potentially this means that this type of life would be more adaptable to conditions more hostile to carbon-water life. Now remember what I said about the boiling temparature of ammonia being -33 at one Earth atmosphere? well this means that, potentially of course, there is life on Titan, Jupiter, or Saturn, whose atmospheres have much higher pressures. The reason cosmic rays, X-rays, and Ultra-violet rays are dangerous to us is because we have not been exposed to them on a regular basis, and so we have not evolved natural defences against them. Venus never got the chance have life due to a runaway greenhouse effect. What I meant by 'Zone of habitation' was the area around a star in which a planet could orbit where the conditions for life would be favourable. This is obviously moot if said body is orbiting another heat source, such as a brown dwarf or gas giant (The heat either comes from the brown dwarf/gas giant itself or is generated through tidal forces) I am an atheist, my personal philosophy is materialist/empericist and I believe morals are entirely relative. My political philosophy is Communist Anarchism. Make of that what you will. Omega I am tricked by no-one, my thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. And here I hit a problem. Unless I 'repent', the magic of Satan means anything I say are the thoughts of Satan. :roll: Whatever happened to reason and rationality? I fail to see how alien life contradicts the Bible. You see demons/angels, I see aliens. What makes you so sure? |
