White House Briefed On "Potential For Life" On Mars
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."
that mars must be protected at all costs because of its potential for life? (yes, a lightly veiled conservative/abortion joke)
"..and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."
"Now, Dick, take it easy. After all, what would Jesus do? (turns to empty chair) Well, Jesus, what should we do?"

I think its safe to say its not just my personal observations, as most religions will have some difficulty if life is found elsewhere then their 'blessed' earth.
They'll just rewrite their sacred texts again, and in 2 generations no one will be the wiser. They'll add an 's' to each instance of 'Earth' and 'earth' in Genesis and explain it as all celestial bodies and say it was some new translation. The sheeple with lap it up.
"There are no facts, only interpretations." --Friedrich Nietzsche.
The main reason we are interested in life on Mars has nothing to do with life on Mars. We want to strip mine the fuck out of another planet and not have to worry about environmental shit.
No life? No problems.

I'm sorry, but just where and when was "God created the heavens and the earth" refuted?
The same place where "A big ass ham sandwiched shat a load of mayonaise and, behold, the world was alive," was refuted.
In other words, you don't prove a negative. But you can recognize that there is absolutely no evidence AT ALL for either assertion and, furthermore, that each assertion is terribly fantastic and requires a significant level of support before it should even be considered.
Some very popular people suck cocks. Don't feel bad about it. :D
I'll admit I was pretty confused by your reply, though. Glad you explained.
