Enceladus Has Cyanide; Evolutionists Imagine Life
Evolutionary hype over potential life
at Saturn’s tiny moon goes into overdrive
with discovery of deadly poison
What are they thinking? Cyanide kills! But oh, they say, before life began, cyanide might have been a precursor to “prebiotic chemistry.” Right. Tell us about it.
Cyanide in the ocean of Saturn’s moon Enceladus could be good for life (New Scientist, 14 Dec 2023). Leah Crane believes whatever Darwine-drunk astrobiologists tell her. She becomes an accomplice for promoting the building blocks of lie. “Hydrogen cyanide, ethane and traces of methanol are present in the water spewing from Enceladus’s ocean – all of which could be building blocks of life.”
Saturn moon Enceladus harbors key ingredient for life (Space.com, 15 Dec 2023). Robert Robert Lea similarly cannot find his critical thinking skill in his skull. He and his evolutionist informers build one lie on top of another by raising the perhapsimaybecouldness index past the red line. It wasn’t enough to find carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen (all dead parts) mixed in with the water ice in the moon’s geysers.
The new confirmation of hydrogen cyanide — a crucial precursor for some molecules that needed to be present on Earth for life to arise — takes the concept that Enceladus could be habitable to a whole new level, however.
The same research team also discovered that the subsurface ocean of Enceladus, from which the plumes apparently originate, could be the source of several other organic compounds, some of which serve as fuel sources for terrestrial organisms. This indicates that there may be more energy available for life on Enceladus than was previously thought.
Maybe he needs to reflect on the fact that a jumbo jet consists of six million non-flying parts. Is a piece of wire needed for a jet’s electrical system a “building block of aerodynamics”?
A journalist interviews top origin-of-life researchers. Not one of them could answer Dr James Tour’s critiques.
NASA Study Finds Life-Sparking Energy Source and Molecule at Enceladus (NASA, 14 Dec 2023). This headline really takes the cake. I mean, really. Cyanide a “life-sparking energy source”? As little as 135 parts per million of HCN is fatal to a human being. Maybe the over-zealous reporter meant life-sparking as in electrocution. And if the OoL cultists ever imagined a cell in this inhospitable freezing place, they had better get cyanide out of the way quickly. Its mode of killing is to stop the ATP synthase motors from turning so that they cannot make ATP. No energy supply, no metabolism, no life. Dead.
Jonah Peter, a Harvard grad student (Harvard—you know, the college where students are calling for genocide against the Jews), got all excited to think about cyanide on Enceladus. His advisors had indoctrinated him into believing that cyanide makes amino acids. And once you have a supply of racemic amino acids floating around without purpose or plan in a dark salty ocean 300°F below zero, life can’t be far behind, right? (see ch 3-7 in our online book).
Enceladus has All the Raw Materials for Life (Universe Today, 7 Nov 2023). Well before the cyanide announcement, Evan Gough was cheerleading for astrobiologists with his combo Big Lie and Glittering Generality that Enceladus has all the raw materials for life. Not even close. A bacterium contains 33 chemical elements. These are arranged into purposeful molecules, forming a membrane, genetic code, and metabolic engine – systems required to work together in a harmonious, dynamic whole. Gough has completely ignored the need for complex specified information in even the simplest living system.
Amanda Hendrix and others are pushing NASA for a new pointless mission to Enceladus to find dead molecules
Enceladus Surface Shields Buried Organics (Planetary Science Institute, 18 Dec 2023). Now, some planetary scientists claim, Enceladus protects and nurtures its precious prebiotic chemistry from solar UV radiation underneath its geyser snow. So what? The molecules will just sit there, not interacting in the deep freeze. Oh, but Amanda Hendrix thinks, those molecules will be interacting to construct life deep in the subsurface ocean, where scientists cannot look.
The extra hype coming at the public about Enceladus suggests that funding time at NASA is approaching. Astrobiologists like those at the Planetary Science Institute are beneficiaries of such funds. Sure enough, this press release envisions a mission to the surface of Enceladus. Taxpayer dollars will fund years of mission design, testing and operation only to find out that there’s no life there, and it was all a big waste of time and money.
NASA identifies 17 planets with possible subsurface oceans, and they could be fit for life (Live Science, 18 Dec 2023). Don’t be deceived by this headline. NASA did not “identify” subsurface oceans on 17 exoplanets. They identified planets with “possible” subsurface oceans.
Once astrobiologists find there is no life on Enceladus, will they give up and admit defeat? Of course not. The universe is full of exoplanets and exomoons with “possible subsurface oceans” where scientists cannot look, but which provide breeding grounds for imagination. And since NASA would never be able to prove a universal negative, the materialistic religion of the Origin of Lie, like a cult teasing the naive to spiritual slavery, will continue indefinitely until the public demands change.
Enceladus is a fascinating body in the solar system, and deserves study for its geysers, E-ring, and youth. I loved watching and learning about Cassini’s discoveries there. But it’s absolutely disgusting that there is no critical thinking in NASA, Big Science, and Big Science Media when it comes to astrobiology and origin-of-life studies. Everyone falls into line with the slightest suggestion that some element or molecule might contribute as a “building block” of life. Nobody asks hard questions of how to get from “building blocks” to a cell, the smallest of which is as complex as a city. Nobody requires empirical evidence for the absurd claims. Big Lie Science is the one institution that is completely immune from investigative and critical reporting.*
NASA continues titillating the public with false hopes that they are getting warmer finding life beyond Earth. This whole racket deserves to be exposed and shamed. The NASA press release, in particular, is so bad it deserves a flood of letters to Congress asking them to stop funding until they quit this nonsense. “Life-sparking energy source” in cyanide? Puh-leeeaze! Call the police on that one. P.T. Barnum would have thought himself outgunned by rhetoric like that. No wonder Susan Mazur titled her book The Origin of Life Circus with its own cast of ringmasters, tricksters and clowns.
NASA Astrobiology material. Leading generations astray with hype and hope in spontaneous generation.
*When I was at JPL, I politely asked hard questions at some origin-of-life speeches. None of the ‘experts’ could answer them. The usual response was “we need more data”—an admission of ignorance. I was fired for politely sharing information contrary to the materialist narrative with coworkers. I knew Amanda Hendrix. As a scientist, she was well qualified, but as a philosopher, she was not: she fell in line with Astrobiology, a false religion that acts like a cult.** She got to keep her job and is still active with JPL today, 12 years later, continuing to spread the building blocks of lie. These people imagine life spontaneously assembling from simple building blocks, but cannot point to one single instance of life on any exoplanet or moon in the universe. What is astrobiology without any ‘bio’ in it? You got it: astrology.
The fact-free belief that life assembles itself spontaneously (abiogenesis), which Pasteur disproved with his Law of Biogenesis, remains a central tenet of unscientific atheism and materialism. Tell NASA to stop what they accused me of: pushing religion.
**In cults, those who question its doctrines and propaganda are “disfellowshipped” and shunned. If ten million people believe the doctrines of the cult, it is still a cult, but they have more power to expel and censor their critics.
