Complex organic molecules have been discovered for the first time coming from the depths of Saturn's moon Enceladus, a new study reported.

Organic compounds, which are the compounds associated with life processes, are the subject matter of organicchemistry. Among the numerous types of organic compounds, four major categories are found in all living things: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

I will be the first one to say that exploration of Enceladus will most likely reveal aquatic life that produces its own light source similar to the aquatic life that is found near the bottom of our own oceans.

I would also go so far as to say that Enceladus might have been the object that struck Earth that created the Moon that also left behind a portion of its water during the collision.

Exciting as each new discovery is,
it’s a bit of a leap from organic compound found = Enceladus colided with Earth.

Fascinating, to be sure.

It's been a while since I read it, but supposedly there are records from various old cultures of a time when Earth's moon was not yet up there....and core samples showing lack of tidal action from no moon influence.

Might have been debunked by now....I didn't pursue it.

Sometimes a story can seem exciting at first, but it really pays to wait for further research before getting all worked up.

**Postberg noted that most of the organic-loaded ice grains the researchers saw were in Saturn's E ring. This might suggest that these complex organic molecules were not produced within Enceladus, but instead resulted from sunlight-triggered chemical reactions in space.**

Once the chemical reactions are triggered by sunlight they would find their way into the crevices of asteroids in a ring orbiting a gas giant much like a seed finds it way into the crevice of a hardened lava flow that then sprouts into a tree or grass.

Other factors such as a sudden shift in the gas giants magnetic field or an impact with a large exo-asteroid then causes the asteroid laden with complex organic molecules to travel through space. Eventually the asteroid with the complex organic molecules might find a planet such as Earth that only has water on it that is close to the Sun like Earth is.

If the complex organic molecule survive the entry into Earth's atmosphere and finds water then the complex organic molecules have the environment in which they need to grow, then evolve and form higher functions of thought.

The one area that I would be concerned about is that a large asteroid that has organic molecules present could break free of Saturn's gravity and find its way to the Earth.

What happens if that asteroid doesn't break up during re-entry or what if it does break up? Will the Earth be introduced to a new organic molecular DNA strand that would begin its own evolutionary development on Earth?

What will those organic molecules frozen in their asteroid stasis become once they enter the womb of Earth's environment?

Perhaps that is the reason why the common cold cannot be cured. The common cold might be dust from the rings of Saturn that has come from Enceladus that has made it too Earth somehow. Trillions of combinations for a spark of organic molecular evolution could exist in asteroids that orbit around Saturn in its rings. Organic molecules that make it too Earth each year and cause the common cold possibly.

We have to know more about the asteroids and the grains of ice from Enceladus that find their way into the belts around Saturn.

The more we know about the process that takes place between Enceladus and Saturn that are triggered by sun-light reactions the closer we might come to finding a cure for the common cold or even cancer.

You're worrying about something you dont have to worry about. Asteroids don't suddenly "Break free" of a planet they've been orbiting for eons and high tail it to Earth. A series of incredibly unlikely events would cause that. If you're talking about the risks of panspermia: if there is life out there, that's just a risk and one every biome has been repeatedly subjected to.

It seems that the spirit of Velikovsky is alive and well. Whether he is clothed is another matter.

Might be something other than worlds in collision.
