35. Life on ISS

This finding on the International Space Station makes it clear that the earth is surrounded by an aura of life,
at least in the form of plankton.
Though the particular type of plankton
has not been identified,
it has been established that it is not the type of plankton,
which would have possibly been picked up from the delivery launch area of Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan .
Were the plankton picked up before launch,
doubtless the extreme heat would have destroyed them.
The ISS has been orbiting the earth since 1998 at an
altitude of between 330 km / 205 mi and 435 km /270 mi
It is clear that if they are first lifted from the sea into the atmosphere by rising air currents and winds,
when those winds dissipate that the plankton carries on
at their own steam as though drifting in the seas.
The oceans have been here some 4,400 billion years,
it must be posited that what ever means the plankton
has used to make it into space onto the ISS,
has been going on since that time.
The unthinkable alternative is that the deeps, of space,
is full of this life form,
which of course will give the evolutionists new material,
other than asteroids,
with which to rework their theories
of the seeding of life on earth.
