Revelation 8:7-13 7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up. 8 And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood;
Ya just never know.

Just because it doesn't contain DNA - something that could have evolved on EARTH - doesn't mean it's not "alive" - it may have a completely different way of storing information that it replicates and transmits to it's next generation.
They didn't say WHAT these 'cells' were made of? Are they purely mineral or are they carbon based? Do they contain proteins?

Well did wonder how you knew...freaky. It catches me by surprise me when people come out with things about my personal life. I always forget about the online diary! It feels like you're just writing for yourself.
