  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

"In searching for the earliest life on Earth and other worlds, researchers normally look for intact fossils or biomolecules made only by living organisms. But such signals are few and far between. Now, researchers have devised an artificial intelligence (AI) that can identify signs of ancient life in rocks of unknown provenance, based only on the pattern of chemicals left behind as biomolecules degrade over eons."

From AI Overview:

Scientists at the Carnegie Institution for Science, including Robert Hazen, Michael Wong, and Anirudh Prabhu, are leading a team that programs artificial intelligence (AI) to look for signs of life in rocks billions of years old. Researcher Katie Maloney from Michigan State University also contributed to the effort.
