Life on Mars? Why Not?

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.'"

  1. Life in your colon? You bet! by colon+cleaner · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Let's talk stools.

    The stool tells you a lot about your colon health. If it's dark brown in color, and it sinks, and it stinks, that's not good. And don't feel bad, that's the way most people are. What you want to see is light brown color, which means it's full of fresh bile from the liver, very mild odor, and a stool that floats. We're talking low-density here folks. The more compaction you have the darker the color and the faster it sinks. Compaction is not good. Also, moving bowels should be SIMPLE. If the veins are popping out of your neck and you feel like your doing the bench press, you NEED to cleanse your colon.

    When you do the cleanse, for the first few days....things are a little weird. But you know you're cleansed when you see the above good stuff happening, and you are eliminating at least 2-3 times per day.

    Cleansing your colon is a 30-day process. No need to change your current diet. Its also very economical at under $52. You may be very surprised at some of the benefits you will receive besides just losing 1-5 lbs of cr*p from your body and brightening your future health.

    People have reported more energy, less allergies, clearing of acne, cessation of migraines, and many other results, not to mention restored regularity. When your body is void of old, poisonous toxins that are constantly being reabsorbed through the colon walls, it can begin to heal again. And when the colon walls are clean, the good nutrients from your food and supplements can be absorbed again. You will be thrilled with the results.

  5. why only on Earth? by SHEENmaster · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Does the Bible say that life was only made on Earth? Not that I've found. Nor does it say that Earth is the center of the solar system, galaxy, or universe. Nor does it say that all species were created as they are today, and haven't evolved since.

    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.
