Ancient Earth Got a Galactic Golden Shower

A large part of gold's allure is its rarity. Even so, it's still 1000 times more abundant on Earth than it should be. Boffins at University of Bristol now have an explanation for this phenomenon: it came from ouuuuter spaaaaaace!

Geez, I thought it was common knowledge, that gold cannot form naturally on this planet & that it must have had celestial origins.

I really hate it when people claim Christians say the Earth is 6,000 years old. That is absolute horse-manure. We don't know the age of the Earth, the Bible does not tell us. All "age of earth" science is theory. No human was around to prove it. 6,000 or 6 billion...it's all nonsense. Who cares!
Show me the video where Bachman or Perry say the Earth is 6,000 years old. Bet you can't.

I'm gonna leave it at that, and suffice to say the far left liberal media will do anything and everything they can to denigrate any Republican candidate no matter what they believe...and it's already started.
I think before that happens we'll have figured out the global warming/cooling issue.

I marvel at the numbskulls who try to dictate what everyone else (besides them) ought to be doing with the way we live, based on bits & pieces of a much larger picture - and they have the unmitigated gall to call it "science". To me, that is where the truly ignorant live.
Getting back to the externally supplied gold via supernova question - what makes anyone think that the gold would have to go directly to the core of a molten earth? Take a look around. It's not a homogeneous mass, cooling under carefully-controlled conditions.
The earth is a large enough chunk of matter that to get a perfect distribution of minerals from-the-core-to-the-crust during a cooling cycle would in fact require "a miracle". You can get a better distribution in a crucible, fine. Now, scale it up a few hundred million times over. The physics are not the same.
I knew it would happen.
To the folks who say, "I don't know, since I wasn't there.", I guess Japan and Antartica is just a theory to me, since I was never in either of those places.
I like you guys, but science is not your stong suit.

Quote from the article:
Rock samples found in Greenland - which were formed at the Earth's formation - contained a marginally higher ratio of the tungsten isotope 182W compared to more modern rock.
Therefore, modern rock must have come from a meteorite shower which proves today's gold and platinum deposits came from outer space
LOL. What astounding logic!
Don't you think that any real scientist would stop a sec and ask himself, "why would rock samples found in Greenland have a marginally higher ratio of tungsten 182W compared to more modern rock?", instead of immediately concluding that the Earth was struck by a gigantic gold and platinum meteor about 4 billion years ago?
This is what passes for science now? If you don't think this is nothing more than part of an agenda to get more free endowment money, then I fear for your future - if you are that gullible.
This is a classic example of putting expensive instrumentation into the hands of idiots with an agenda.
I knew it would happen.
He's not saying ALL gold on earth got here by meteors, he's saying the amount in the crust may have been supplemented by meteor impacts over time. There is a well documented Iridium supplementation from the Yucatan impact which caused mass extinctions ~60 million years ago that affected the dinasours, among others.
the source of all elements except hydrogen is from stellar activity, and most trans-iron elements are created during nova and supernova events (exploding stars), which distribute the elements among particle clouds that eventually, over billions of years, coalesce into spinning discs form which new stars and planetary systems form
it is these second-and higher generation star systems which contain carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and all the other elements of which planetary systems, and their life, are composed.
the atoms and molecules in your body were once in a primordial sun. so were the atoms of gold and silver in your safe.

Just the mineable gold in Earth's crust
Proud recipient of two "You Suck" awards
You offer and I see no proof of an immediate conclusion. I see a lot of work went into proving this. You also offer no proof of a 'gigantic gold and platinum meteor'. The article involves millions of impacts over millions of years. Did you even read it? Are you a lawyer? You should be the way you can twist that truth around.

Gee, I thought that's what it says in the exerpt that I cut & pasted.
You also offer no proof of a 'gigantic gold and platinum meteor'.
I misread the article that I referenced; it said "a mammoth meteorite shower" over 200 million years. I apologize for my mistake.
Frankly, if Perry or Bachman had stated anything to the effect that the earth is only 6,000 years old - I'd give it about the same odds of being accurate as these guys. By the way, where is your documentation on that? You posted it as fact.
They may have put alot of work into pumping up their own careers (on someone else's dime), but what makes you so sure that they aren't just another couple environmental crackpots with a money agenda?
I knew it would happen.

Ever see a volcano?
quickly becomes a discussion of "who thinks what? who said what? What are the political and religious implications?? how can I use "reducto ad absurdum" to make your statements seem silly???"

Research Scientists, indeed, do pump up their careers on somebody else's dime. If they are not doing good research, there will be no more dimes in the future.
UK Earth Scientists funded by UK government and German research foundation...guess its somebody else's euro. American research has been severly curtailed by narrow minds. Ask NASA, shame that an organization that gave us so much is being trounced on.
Age of the Earth? I get $100 per hour to explain my proof to you. Various studies all lead to the same approximate age.
Yes, I have seen a volcano. They are a crustal phenomena. Any gold in their lava came from those meteorites.
As I have said before, I like you guys. I enjoy reading your opinions on things that you know about. Well, I know a lot about science and critical thinking. This is my last reply on this one, my friends.

Regardless of the inane political debate, I find it interesting that gold only attained "value" at roughly the same time as organized religion.

Having worked for years in a major research lab, I can fully attest that hype pays better than "good" research.

Paper didn't start to achieve universal value until around 1690's England. I'd give the nod to gold/organized religion vs. fiat/organized govt.

To help on this issue take a look at The Bible 2nd Peter 3rd chapter 3rd-6th verse with special note to the 1st part of verse 5.
This is an eye opener for most Christians as well as to those interested in Gods Creation of the Earth.

So much of it has been proved false as time has elapsed and as sure as we exist today the falacies of most all current so-called scientific theories will
like wise be proven false or at the least flawed in a significant manner.
