Life on Mars? Why Not?

Posted by michael on from the little-fuzzy-aliens-with-big-sharp-teeth dept.

Guillaume Filion writes "IEEE spectrum has an interesting article about a new probe sent to Mars searching for life: 'Recent missions to Mars have focused on the search for water, past or present, as a surrogate for life itself. But now a British-led team is working to renew the search for life directly, fueled by doubts about the equipment that prompted NASA to declare Mars a dead world some 26 years ago.'"

    Erm - someone copies the referenced link into a post and you moderate it up as informative and insightful?

    Redundant, folks. Just like this post is Offtopic but I needed to get the bad-moderation rant off my chest.

    1. I said nothing about notions of conspiring atheists; you introduced that.
    2. I never introduced theology, you did. It's true evolution is a religion, but I did not introduce religion as a topic, that was your action.
    3. Can you defend Miller-Urey? It would be fascinating to see you try. Even Stanley Miller refused to do so when attending a presentation by Duane Gish some years ago.
