White House Briefed On "Potential For Life" On Mars

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the spin-the-wheel dept.

Veeoh writes "FTA: It would appear that the US President has been briefed by Phoenix scientists about the discovery of something more 'provocative' than the discovery of water existing on the Martian surface. This news comes just as the Thermal and Evolved Gas Analyzer (TEGA) confirmed experimental evidence for the existence of water in the Mars regolith on Thursday."

    Similarly, the Roman Catholic Church basically accepts evolution now (albeit as god's plan to create us,) but I know R.C.s that keep the company of young-earthers -- Because they agree in thinking that the world is ~6500 yo. To judge on denominational affiliation wouldn't be accurate - however, birds of a feather...

    I, for one, "feel" that Dubya is a fundamentalist young-earther, one who discounts Darwin and the like, who believes Jeebus talks to him directly, is in preparation for the rapture to occur within his lifetime, etc.

    Can anyone post links to things Bush has actually said about his faith that might clear this up? (not that this is really the place for it.)
