Doctors also are experimenting with brain scans called MRS (Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy) — that can detect abnormalities in the brain’s biochemical processes, and with near-infrared spectroscopy, a technique that can detect oxygen levels … Tests show that it might be more sensitive to brain injury than either MRI or CT scanning because it can detect reduced blood flow to injured sites. The test can track cerebral blood flow and detect alterations in brain metabolism …  read more…

Resolved Question: Should Texas teach this scientific evidence as the most viable theory to how life began on Earth?
http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/04/29/asteroid.water/?hpt=Sbin

(I have included main points of the article below, along with additional relevant information on organic compounds)

An icy asteroid (24 Themis) orbiting the sun between Mars and Saturn is adding credence to theories that Earth’s water was delivered from space, according to a report published in the new issue of the science journal Nature.

Using the infrared telescope at Mauna Kea, Hawaii, they were surprised to find not only water on 24 Themis, but organic compounds as well.

Organic compounds are substances whose molecules contain one or more (often many more) carbon atoms (excluding carbonates, cyanides, carbides, and a few others). Since carbon has a far greater tendency to form molecular chains and rings than do other elements, its compounds are vastly more numerous (many millions have been described) than all others known. Living organisms consist mostly of water and organic compounds: proteins, carbohydrates, fats, nucleic acids, hormones, vitamins, and a host of others.

The findings on 24 Themis lend weight to the idea that asteroids and comets are the source of Earth’s water and organic material.

“I believe our findings are linked to the origin of life on Earth,” Humberto Campins said at UCF.

Scientists now plan to scan the asteroid belt for more evidence of water and organic materials, hoping to determine if 24 Themis is just an interloper — possibly a comet that got caught in the asteroid belt — or the first of many water-bearing asteroids that will change the way astronomers look at the solar system.

How close are we getting to truly solidifying precisely how life on Earth originated and where from, and what role will this evidence (especially when it becomes more prominent over time - not in regards to this one specific finding in general) eventually have on religion?
