Evolutionists believe they are unlocking how frozen microbes stay alive for 100,000 years

Microbes found buried deep in Siberian permafrost may be able to survive over extremely long timescales using protein repair genes

Microbes isolated from Siberian permafrost appear to have remained alive for more than 100,000 years, based on an analysis of their DNA. Their genetic overlap with other species suggests such astonishingly long lifespans may be widespread among the closest living relatives of all organisms with complex cells.

Other microbes have been isolated from extremely ancient marine sediments – some more than 100 million years old – but it remains unclear whether individual organisms can survive over those stretches of time. “I can’t run an experiment that long,” says Karen Lloyd at the University of Southern California. “[Time] is the weirdest variable to work with.”

Bacteria on the space station are evolving for life in space

Can bacteria on board the International Space Station evolve new traits?

This is according to Darwinist believe that microbes can change into life giving things.  But only God can give life.

Bacteria on board the International Space Station (ISS) have evolved new traits in order to survive in low Earth orbit, and some show signs of increased virulence.

Microbes from Earth have made their way to the station via human hosts and the regular delivery of equipment and supplies.

NASA has been monitoring the ISS’s microbiome for a decade to understand how microbes survive in space conditions and what threat they might pose to astronauts.

Microbes living in an  ice-covered lake in Antarctica are feasting on crushed rocks.  They are driving.

 According to evolutionists, this spells well for the search for life, This means extraterrestrial life that may be  . Underground lakes and frozen oceans are thought to be common in the universe, even in our own solar system.which was created by God

Microbes That Went to Sleep 101.5 Years Ago Are Brought to Life

Some microbes that scientist say have seen daylight since the time of the dinosaurs have just come alive. 

They were brought up “from 328 feet (100 meters) below the 20,000-foot-deep (6,000 m) bottom of the South Pacific Gyre. That's a region of the Pacific Ocean with very few nutrients and little oxygen available for life to survive on, and the researchers were looking for data on how microbes get along in such a remote part of the world.” 

They went to sleep 101,5 million years ago and now they are brought to life by scientists. 

The scientist were not sure what they would do. ”However, cells responded, many of them quickly. They quickly gobbled up nitrogen and carbon. Within 68 days, the total cell count had quadrupled from the original 6,986. Aerobic bacteria — oxygen breathers — were the hardiest cells and most likely to wake up. These tiny organisms were surviving on just the tiny bubbles of air that make their way down into sediment over geologic timescales. It seems that the metabolic rate of aerobic bacteria is just slow enough to allow them to survive for such extended periods.” 

This is how evolution- believing scientist think they have brought these the single-celled organisms back to life that can’t be given a lifespan in that way.

”75-Million-Year Old “Ocean Microbes Live Forever

“Deep below the surface of the South Pacific Ocean, buried beneath 70 metres of seafloor sediment, there are microbes that may be about 75 million years old. These organisms are among the oldest known life forms on the planet, yet exactly how they manage to maintain their near-immortality has remained a mystery,” New Scientist tells us.

Now, New Scientist has found a formula to keep the microbes alive: “James Bradley, a geobiologist at the University of Southern California, and his colleagues think they have solved the puzzle: to stay alive, the microbes stay mostly dead.”

However, the formula proposed by New Scientist is off by a few million years.
