It only happened three times and once in a Billion Years, but they were lucky enough to observe it right here right now. WOW! What are the odds of that?
BIG ALGAE BURN BIG BACTERIA. I GOT BIGGER ALGAE THAN THAT IN MY PARLOR TANK. |

This happened yesterday in my backyard but no scientists were around to measure it

Sounds like the researchers are going after more of government grants funding, should ensure their comfortable life through retirement.

we just have to wait another 2-4 billion to ask it what it thinks of the civil war movie.

What created the puddle of goop?
So everything, plants animals and humans evolved from goop, then magically started evolving after it's own kind? ie, Each species after it's own kind? GOD just can't be real, because then I would be accountable for my actions.... -atheists- |

How do they know that it hasn't happened any other time within the last billion years?

Quoted: When you see statements like "this has only happened twice ever" what they mean to say is "we've only found evidence of this happening twice ever." It doesn't preclude that it has happened elsewhere, only that we haven't found such evidence. And I didn't read the article, but based on the subject matter, I would assume the evidence they have of this occurring (in antiquity) is primarily DNA evidence.

Wow the first time in a billion years and we’re around to see it. We should all go get lottery tickets

Quoted: Two lifeforms merge into one organism for first time in a billion years For the first time in at least a billion years, two lifeforms have merged into a single organism. The process, called primary endosymbiosis, has only happened twice in the history of the Earth, with the first time giving rise to all complex life as we know it through mitochondria. The second time that it happened saw the emergence of plants. Now, an international team of scientists have observed the evolutionary event happening between a species of algae commonly found in the ocean and a bacterium. “The first time we think it happened, it gave rise to all complex life,” said Tyler Coale, a postdoctoral researcher at University of California, Santa Cruz, who led the research on one of two recent studies that uncovered the phenomenon. “Everything more complicated than a bacterial cell owes its existence to that event. A billion years ago or so, it happened again with the chloroplast, and that gave us plants.” The process involves the algae engulfing the bacterium and providing it with nutrients, energy and protection in return for functions that it could not previously perform – in this instance, the ability to “fix” nitrogen from the air. The algae then incorporates the bacterium as an internal organ called an organelle, which becomes vital to the host’s ability to function. View Quote User name checks out. |

The idea that science and Christianity are at odds with each other is pants on head retarded.
There are tons of Christians who have made huge strides for science, they're not opposing views. Understanding our own world while trying to understand who created it is the only difference. In Theology, it's referred to as the first mover theory. Or the "un-moved mover". There's also other really cool stuff like the sparks created at conception we didn't know existed until we had the technology to observe it. Watching, documenting, and appreciating the utter vastness of nature does not make you stupid. Neither does wondering and exploring where not only that ecosystem came from but also your intellect to appreciate it. |

I'm pretty retarded, but as I understand it the biggest scientific problem we have right now is we can't reconcile quantum mechanics with atomic theory.
Put simply, some guys are looking at the universe with a billion foot view and others are trying to zoom in one billion times. Neither is objectively wrong, but neither is a universal theory which applies to everything. |

View Quote Mostly true but there is obviously a huge conflict between literal interpretation of scripture and science. Most religion has ceded science it's own space but some insist on believing things incompatible with rock solid science. |

Quoted: I'm a Christian and I love to get into it with these people. They usually lose it at "Creation could have taken 6,000 years since the Bible says a Day is like 1000 years and 1000 year is like a Day." The fact is we don't know how long it took for stuff to form between GOD spoke and what he spoke happened View Quote |
