Thank you. That validates my comments.
Thank you. That validates my comments.
No, again you are wrong. Sure it's possible to falsify this hypothesis. It may not be probable to test all extraterestrial objects and thus would make it a weak hypothesis but it is certainly possible.
As for a hypothesis for the origin of life on earth, the extraterretrial hypothesis is certainly a testable hypothesis.
Thank you. That validates my comments.
No, you did. I said it was a testable hypothesis. Which it is as are the other hypotheses I listed.that's nice.....but you claimed to have an hypothesis for the origin of life, not simply the origin of life on earth.....you forget so quickly......
No I didn't. I all ready told you how it's falsifiable, in principle.again you neglected to answer the simple question, "How?".......
In principle it would be falsifiable by testing all extraterrestrial objects. If there's no life or indications of life then it could not have come from an extraterrestrial object. The corrolary being you test any or all extraterestrial objects and do find life or indications of life.good, then you agree with me....proceed.....how is it falsifiable?.....

/boggle....if that is sufficient for "falsifiable in principle" then I expect we can consider 'creation' as a falsifiable scientific hypothesis as well.....all we have to do is wait till God comes back and ask him.....In principle it would be falsifiable by testing all extraterrestrial objects.

No, you did. I said it was a testable hypothesis. Which it is as are the other hypotheses I listed.
With that being the case there are quite a few scientific hypothesis on the origins of life that meet this scientific definition of a hypothesis. Some examples would be;
Hypothesis of biopoesis
Miller-Urey Hypothesis/Experiment
Phospholipid hypothesis
Nucleic Acid First hypothesis
Peptide structure hypothisis
Self Replicating Hypercycle hypothesis
Iron Sulfur World Hypothesis
Radioactive beach hypothesis
Homochirality hypothsis
Self Organization/Replication hypothesis
RNA World hypothesis
Thermosynthesis World hypothesis
Autocatalysis
Clay Hypothesis
Deep Hot Biosphere hypothesis
Primitive extraterestrial life hypothesis
extrateretrial amino acids hypothesis
Polyphosphates hypothesis
PAH World Hypothesis
Multiple Genesis hypothesis
and this is not an all inclusive list.

You are anything but, and I dare say neither are the majority of genuflecting, myopic science spouting anti-abortionist.
Also, with all the medical scientific devices that are easily mass produced and available....there should NEVER be another abortion in America based on an unwanted pregnancy (unless rape based or a threat to the life of the mother). But thanks to the congenital mental defect of puritanism and religious dogma...our children grow up virtually ignorant about sex and ways to prevent pregnancy and the spread of STD's.
The old argument that sex education promotes teen sex and pregnancy is a tired old joke. WITHOUT sex education in the schools, the aforementioned increased over the years...which elicited the reaction to do something about it.
If sex education were given the same treatment as indoctrinating our kids about sports and car ownership, the need for abortions would plummet (IMHO).
But since the anti-abortionist are dead set against such changes, abortions will continue to exists.
Deal with it.
You make an excellent point.
Frequently a parent will give their teenager some money and tell them that if the driver drinks they are to use the money and call a taxi. I doubt anyone would say the parent is encouraging the teen to go out with drinkers.
Strange how the same logic doesn't apply to sex. I wonder how many parents give their teenager a condom before leaving the house on a Saturday night?
And another thing. If teenagers did carry condoms and the parent found one they'd hit the roof. Sort of like screaming at ones teen for wearing a seat belt.
