Life in the deep sea

The seabed of our planet is teeming with life forms unknown, according to an article in the journal Nature. Bacteria on the seabed could be older than life on the planet's surface.

Scientists suggest that between 60% and 70% of all bacteria live deep in the seabed of the Earth, away from sunlight. Some of the new bacteria identified are about 16 million years and survived some 400 meters deep.

Europe creationism discussion

Creationism rejects the evolution of species through natural selection. The Council of Europe, which is responsible for ensuring respect for human rights in the Old Continent, began to discuss a report that warns of the dangers of teaching creationist theories in schools.

Creationism challenges the commonly accepted theory of evolution of species and holds that the earth is no more than 10,000 years old and 

Prepare for the encounter with extraterrestrials

World governments should start preparing a synchronized way to an ultimate meeting with extraterrestrial life, says an impressive group of scientists in the UK. In an edition of the journal Philosophical Transactions A of the Royal Society British institution, the scientists note that for the first time in the history of mankind "is a realistic possibility of whether or not we are alone in the Universe."

The "broth of life" could cook with element alien

The examination of meteorites realizes too much numbers of left-handed amino acids. There is more evidence than ever that life on Earth may have originated as a result of material from asteroids or comets. Previous research had already shown as amino acids, the structure blocks for constructing natural life could form anywhere in the universe.

These molecules can form in two different versions, but life on Earth is based on only one of them. Now research published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters shows how conditions that 

Does the meteorite that brought the instructions for life on Earth?

Some think that meteorites brought indispensable materials for the beginning of life. A meteorite discovered in Antarctica would give strength to the argument that life on Earth may have started due to a boost from space, scientists say. The analysis shows that the meteorite is rich in the gas ammonia. Contain the element nitrogen, found in proteins and DNA that form the basis of the life as we know.

The diamonds and the Origin of Life

Small pieces of diamond fake an embryonic Earth may contain the oldest traces of life, according to a study. The analysis showed that the crystals contain a type of carbon often associated with plants and bacteria. The rare gems were found inside zircon crystals, formed a few hundred million years after the Earth formed. In an article published in the journal Nature the researchers caution that the results are not definitive proof of early life forms, but "do not exclude" the possibility.

Scientists observe "evidence" of extraterrestrial life

A traffic journal asked thousands of researchers to observe the claim of a NASA scientist that found evidence of fossilized bacteria on three meteorites aliens.

Richard Hoover, an astrobiologist at Marshall Space Flight Center of the U.S. space agency said that the bacteria found are fossilized remains of organisms that lived in the heavenly bodies, comets, moons and other-that gave rise to the three meteors.
