The inadvertent discovery of sea life on a boulder beneath an Antarctic ice shelf challenges our understanding of how organisms can live in environments far from sunlight, according to a team of biologists. The researchers drilled through the 900-metre-thick Filchner-Ronne ice shelf and dropped a camera down the hole in search of mud on the seabed. To their surprise, it revealed a boulder ringed by animals. Footage appears to show 16 sponges, accompanied by 22 unidentified animals that could include barnacles. It is the first time that immobile life like these creatures has been found beneath an Antarctic ice sheet. |

Just when you get comfy a fucking asshole drills a hole in the roof and turns the lights on.
Thanks, assholes. |

I don’t know why they’re so surprised. They’ve already found palm trees under the ice.
They’ve found caves at the highest peaks with graveyards full of dinosaur bones as if they were trying to escape being slaughtered en masse. It all makes sense if you accept that there was a global flood and Noah. |

To think that the Creator of everything humbled himself to become a man, to live a sinless life and to die for us so that we may live - and he didn't even have a place to lay his head.
And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. Luke 9:58 Bless His Holy Name. |

Next stop, life on Mars. And that moon that has liquid water under miles of ice.

View Quote That's gotta be my favorite scene from that movie. That's a cool discovery. I believe in the Flood, but I don't know it's relevance to this discovery, other than it screwing with scientific presumptions about life and the past. Which I always enjoy! |

As ice sheets collapse in a warming world, species such as those found on the boulder may prove to be unable to respond to rapid changes.
Really? |

What's with all the nutty religious people popping up lately?

But science said it's not supposed to be there!!1!!
Why is nature a bigot science denier!!!!1@! Trust the science!!11 |

Don't defrost it! If they do, bad shit happens! I saw the documentary!

Nothing surprising really.
The novelty eventually becomes commonplace and the attribution to supernatural forces is supplanted by evidential cause and effect. |

That's exactly how it works. God willed our world into existence so if life is found you can rest assured he put it there. |

Follow the Science!*
*Except when it's obvious that the science doesn't have all the answers, and is populated with arrogant assholes that are willing to fake data for grant money or push an agenda. Luckily there are a few true geniuses that actually advance the field. |

Quoted: Oh no. Someone quoted a bible verse. I’m triggered. View Quote I guess some people grow weary of it. It's the same as if your kid came home from school and said their math teacher taught the class that 2+2= ketchup. Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities - Voltaire History is rife with catastrophic examples. |

View Quote the only thing thats caused more people to die than socialist is religious justifications. seems reasonable, pretty much every time we make a statement of "life can't just survive in ABC" we get proven wrong at some point. |

Quoted: Yeah, no shit, seems you can't have a single thread anymore regarding any type of scientific discovery without them popping in and polluting it from the get go.

I don't think that you can have a religious thread without science/atheist disputes being posted either. It's not one-sided. |
