Until now, the processes that have evolved
over billions of years in anaerobic bacteria have never had a chance to work with those that evolved separately in aerobic bacteria.
Second - generation stars are still metal - poor compared with modern stars like the sun, whose birth clouds were enriched by several generations of
stars over billions of years.
If you take it back to its most simplistic form, then evolution
over billions of years from the most basic of forms isn't so hard to grasp.
They transform their knowledge about the physical processes forming our universe into mathematical models and simulate the evolution of our universe on high - performance
computers over billions of years.
They will then map the clusters in space and time to see how their density and structure evolved
over billions of years under the competing pulls of gravity and dark energy.
«In broader terms, we also hope to determine the distribution of obscured AGN across the Universe, and figure out how these supermassive black holes have evolved and
grown over billions of years,» Boorman concludes.
The NASA - funded research indicates that this process of moons breaking apart into rings and then reforming as moons may have happened several
times over billions of years.
They test their hypotheses about the universe by developing mathematical models that describe the underlying complex physical processes and run them on high - performance computers trying to reproduce the evolution of the
Universe over billions of years.
The overall heavy - metal abundance of the galaxy does change
over billions of years as stars process lighter elements into heavier ones and recycle them back into star forming material at the end of their lives.
The organic model we are suggesting pictures reality as composed of multitudes of embodied beings who presently inhabit a planet that has evolved
over billions of years through a process of dynamic change marked by law and novelty into an intricate, diverse, complex, multi-leveled reality, all radically interrelated and interdependent.
These deep fields have given astronomers unprecedented access to understanding how galaxies form and
develop over billions of years in the history of our universe, from shortly after the Big Bang to today.
The Book of nature reveals the truth that God created the world through gradual
processes over billions of years, rather than over the course of six days, as many creationists believe.
As the tiny microbe adapting itself into a human space traveler
over the billions of years on this planet we have a far greater responsibility to keep this life moving than we would if it was just some supernatural beings universe where the deity already knows everything that is ever going to happen.
In this way, natural selection can create the astonishing organisms we see around us, the result of countless trillions of beneficial mutations slowly
assembled over billions of years (see Mutations can only destroy information).
In recent years, the big bang model — the idea that our universe has expanded and
cooled over billions of years from an initially hot, dense state — has been confirmed and elaborated in spectacular detail.
It will be here long after we're gone (and at some point we will be gone, along with most of all other species of life on this
planet over billions of years).
If your brain is merely a minuscule portion and intermediate result of a guideless process of self - existing particles that just happened to unpack themselves from an unexplained singularity and arrange themselves into various integrated systems of matter and life of increasing
complexity over billions of years, which will ultimately disorganize and dissipate into nothingness, why should any value be attached to your thoughts, or to your existence?
whats funny to me is i don't know anyone 5 thousand years old to back up theist and i don't recall knowing
anyone over billions of years old to back up atheists, yet both sides know there right.
We've got a few hundred years at best, of scientific observation, that has now told us that one giant, explosive, random event started a chain reaction that,
over billions of years resulted in humans, and flowers, and viruses, and dinosaurs.
Because the idea that life evolved
naturally over billions of years is infinitely less believable than the idea that an 800 year old man crammed two of every species into a giant wooden boat when the entire planet flooded, an event for which there is absolutely no geological evidence whatsoever and also makes no friggin sense at all.
The Big Bang, the creation of the
cosmos over billions of years, and evolution here on earth is in fact creationism in real time, not the simplistic «seven days» explaination the illiterate world needed two thousand years ago.
@Observer... that's the point exactly... you believe unintelligent matter always existing and randomly exploded and
over billions of years created life and intelligence... theist believe that there was an intelligent being that always existed and now here we all are...
For example, they want to measure the planet's inventory of stable noble gases, such as xenon and krypton, which change little in
abundance over billions of years and hold clues to planetary origins.
