[QUOTE]Originally posted by Baloo: [QB] Are lunar tides actually necessary for the formation of complex life forms? Possibly, but has anyone calculated the amount of "agitation" of solar tides alone (they do exist, and are measurable)? Would it be possible that a slightly lesser amount of tides (solar only, or at least primarily in the presence of small moonlets) could provide the amount of motion required? And what about the effects of solar heating and cooling of, not only the ocean, but the seas themselves? Are they saying that these are insignificant forces? I don't think so. It sounds to me as though the people who felt most comfortable with the theory that "proved" our solar system of panets to be a relative rarity, and thus life elsewhere impossible, have decided that, in the face of so many new planets being discovered everywhere we look, that some other reason must be found to "prove" that life on earth is unique, and cannot exist elsewhere. --Baloo [/QB][/QUOTE]
