my point is that if gravity brought asteroids and meteors together, the cells would be crushed by either the rock and/or the gravity.
but thats only hundreds of miles away. (between the core and the surface) its even stronger more towards the core of each planet. so, when the planets were first forming, the cells would be crushed under all that gravity, even when jupiter got started. we all know that the smaller the planet, the more gravity there is.
plus its hard to believe that cells have just landed on earth and started evolving w/o sever casulties from burning up in the atmosphere.

Definitely bad science, though a handful of cells among trillions surviving an impact is certainly better odds than "invisible supernatural skyfairy that's really concerned about what you do in private under your covers, we swear"...
>>we all know that the smaller the planet, the more gravity there is<<
The SMALLER the planet, the GREATER the gravity? No, sorry, that's not how it works; it's just the opposite, since the more mass you have in one place, the higher the gravity gets.

Actually, mass doesn't even have as much impact on gravity as the density does.less than earths.
But of course, a simpler reply would be 'There are forces in nature other than gravity.'
After posting this, Agaro passed out as cramming so much stupid into one post can be quite tiring. Then, being a small individual, his massive gravity compacted him to the size of a jelly bean.
The concept of panspermia is not required in the theory of evolution, but I suppose that's beside the point. Also, please become familiar with basic scientific principles before you start in on gravity, planets, atmospheres, cells...actually, just make that for anything related to scientific theory. Trust me, it's for your own good.
we all know that the smaller the planet, the more gravity there is. "We all" who?
Force of Gravity = G*(M1*M2)/R^2. But because mass increases as a cube, in general objects of equal density increase in gravitational pull at their surface as they increase in mass. And when planets were forming, there were no cells to crush. Stop trying to mix cosmic formation and evolution, and realize that they both happened over billions of years, billions of years apart.
<<"we all know that the smaller the planet, the more gravity there is."
Man, tell me where you went to school to learn these "facts" so I can pull their acreditation! Just for starters, Jupiter is the solar system's largest planet, and aside from the sun, has the highest, strongest gravity.

Normally, I would say that Agaro is completely off his rocker on this point.
As you descend inside a solid ball of uniform density, you would actually weigh LESS, until you reached the dead-center and had no weight at all. This is because the gravity contribution from the material above your "altitude" or "depth" exactly cancels itself out. Being inside a spherical shell of material, you'd experience no net gravity at all. There's a little bit above your head that's really close and is pulling you upward, and a whole bunch beneath your feet that's really far away and is pulling you downward. Only the material that's completely below your feet actually makes a contribution to your weight.
However, if we're talking about the EARTH, then oddly enough, Agaro is actually right on this last point.
The Earth, you see, is not of uniform density. The core, being promarily metallic, is substantially denser than the rocky mantle surrounding it. If you were to travel straight down toward the center of the Earth (a la the awful movie The Core ), you would actually weigh a little bit MORE when you were standing at the edge of the Outer Core than when you were standing at the Earth's surface.
However, as soon as you started to descend INTO the core, that picture would change dramatically. You would weigh progressively less and less until, when you finally reached the dead-center of the planet, you'd weigh nothing at all.
Of course, he's really not talking about gravity here at all. He's talking about the crushing PRESSURES in the interior of a world, brough about as a CONSEQUENCE of its gravity. At least, I think that's what he's talking about. It's hard to tell, when he starts throwing Jupiter and crashing asteroids into the picture.
“ its even stronger more towards the core of each planet.”
“so, when the planets were first forming, the cells would be crushed under all that gravity,”
“ we all know that the smaller the planet, the more gravity there is.” I’m not sure how you measure the amount of gravity. I know how ot measure the force and direction of gravity. But ‘more gravity’ doesn’t really make sense.
“plus its hard to believe that cells have just landed on earth and started evolving w/o sever casulties from burning up in the atmosphere.”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
