 @28f03eb2 I second your disbelief in this "evidence", just read their press release, they don't know their DNA sequencing from their carbon dating. You are on a good path understanding that life will inevitably emerge elsewhere. Technology for space travel?- we already have a proven theoretical concept, NASA Alcubierre Drive. Good traditional science. We don't have a glimpse of technology needed but it is physical&possible. With it interstellar travel is trivial. 
 @c45edd90 they don't know DNA from carbon dating, the nerdiest "they don't know snakes from dildos" I've ever read 
 @c45edd90 @28f03eb2 
Remember all of the times some fake scientists found "The Missing Link" in  the archeological evolution chain between the 1960s and 90s? 

Wasn't any such thing ANY of those times.

SO stupid. 
 @c45edd90 I did read that part and was confused. Can you get DNA evidence from carbon dating?
