As of now, we have zero evidence that the chemical reactions that created life on earth have occurred in a similar fashion anywhere else. There is no real evidence that this lake hosted life, its just interesting speculation. The religious minded could speculate the lake is the lost Eden of the Bible with equal evidence to support it.
Life arose on earth rapidly after the conditions were favourable. If the conditions were favourable on Mars, it's not a huge stretch to suggest that life could have existed there at the time. What part of that is unreasonable to you?
The garden of eden was made up by bronze age goat herders, I wouldn't compare it unless I was trying to demonstrate that I can't think properly.
I have a simple question. How does this affect anyone? This is 3.5 billion years ago that we're talking about, on another planet. Whatever might have lived in that lake is long since dead. How is anyone affected by this? Can anyone justify the value of this research? I strongly suspect that I'll be modded down to -1 so people can ignore my important post and pretend it doesn't exist. Otherwise, people would have to admit that this research serves no purpose for anyone. Can anyone justify the value of this research? I think not!
Let me quote an erstwhile editor of New Scientist magazine. "Science is interesting, and if you don't agree, you can fuck off.
Do us all a favour, and fuck off. You're on the wrong website. Bye.
Notice that I pointedly did not address your argument. That's because your argument is worthless and I wouldn't dream of dignifying it with a response.
The monumental amount of stupi-....one of the first things a 'hacker' does when launching an attack is obscure their origins.
Lawyers like to think that they're clever. Like most 'clever' people they do not see the gigantic holes in their knowledge. It could be offset by maybe having the odd lawmaker who is not a lawyer, but what do you think the chances of that are? lol.
I mean that's the right target right? I should be allowed to use the same exploit used to compromise that system in mass and destroy vast number of webcams or routers or whatever devices are attacking me right?
They quite literally do not know what they're doing. Should be interesting if nothing else.
Doesn't have understanding, doesn't want understanding. Paid by the right people to make the 'right' decision. The USA in a group of nations that it truly suits the company of: Syria and Nicaragua. lol. Keep fighting the future dickheads, it will merely make the EU and Chinese economies stronger at your expense. Enjoy the rest of your orange hero's retarded decisions.
The typical response is to whip up a frenzy about terrorism (exactly what they want) and to attack moderate muslims (again, exactly what ISIS want). Apathy is more helpful than either of those things.
The UK made it through WW2. Survivors of that would be embarrassed to see the frenzy over this. Terrorism sucks, but it is not and never will be an existential threat. It's a matter for the fucking police.
Politicians like it because it justifies power grabs and overreach, and xenophobes love it because it justifies their views. Both of these peoples' goals align with ISIS.
Every terrorist attack in Europe has been done by "radicalized Muslims" in last decade.
Be careful with the word 'every' or you end up seeming like your point is dumb. Islam is a problem, yes. Religion is a fucking problem in general. But people are playing right into IS' hands, going after moderates. That is precisely what they want.
Looks like you need to ask yourself a question. That question is "why am I here?". Perhaps followed by "why don't I fuck off to Soylent news or similar instead of whinging here?".
Good. Too many of the coworkers I've had over the years abused them. Sunny days in Seattle result in a lot of "sick" days. It sucks being the only responsible ones.
To be fair to them, they probably just wanted to be away from you for a day.
To be honest, I just assumed most american companies would fire you if they noticed you being off sick. Seems to fit with the culture. So I guess this is good news!;)
Take a lesson from mother nature, it's called survival of the fittest and through millions of years of evolution it's what eventually created you. It's the most successful system the universe has ever created.
Survival of the fittest is natural selection. We no longer live in nature, but in human civilisation, ergo we are now under artificial selection. If you were half as smart as seem to need to come across, you'd know that.
Looks like you should get at least some of your lessons from places other than 'mother nature'.
You can debate the wisdom of holding the referendum in the first place, the choices offered
Ding ding. "Leave EU or remain in EU?"
How about customs union? (what's that?) Single market? (what's that?) Passporting? (What's that?) Schengen agreement (whats that?)
Most popular google search the friday after the vote "What is the EU?". These goons voted out because the papers made them think it would make all the foreigners go away. The British do what the Mail, Sun and Express tell them to do. Good little peons.
After 2015 and Brexit, there can be no trust given to the idiotic british electorate. Those turkeys will vote for christmas again, I expect the increased tory majority that Tresemmé wanted. I also expect complaints about the NHS to rise afterwards, which is laughable given that they're effectively voting to sell it off to the tories' golf friends.

You're equating simple, single-celled life with Unicorns. Smart guy. I could explain how they're different, but what would the point be?
"a massive lake that may have hosted life."

So people don't phone police during a terror attack, because they're afraid of being labelled a racist? Riiiiiiiight.
Oh that's right, people were afraid to call police/terrorist tiplines/etc for fear of being labeled "racist" because muslim.
I agree that 'islamophobia' is largely bollocks, but this? Dumb as fuck. Idiots can't handle nuance.
Equating Islam and Christianity is a dangerous lie. You are willfully ignorant of vital differences in theology
Yeah. In one the dish ran away with the spoon, and in the other the spoon ran away with the dish.
Apathy should never be typical response.

If sick days (and all other paid time off) didn't exist then hourly pay could be higher.
Stop taking sick days everyone, and Walmart will up your pay.
LOL.
The cow who told you that, had it recently jumped over the moon?
Your arguments are worth nothing if you won't put your name to them.
LOL holy shit. "Holophrastic" says put your name to your arguments. Thank you. I think that's a new bar for lack of self-awareness.
Looks like you need to ask yourself a question. That question is "why am I here?". Perhaps followed by "why don't I fuck off to Soylent news or similar instead of whinging here?".
Good luck in your quest.
Sometimes picking someone up on spelling just straight up makes you look like a cunt. This is one of those times.

Abedi was born in Manchester. You retard.
All the bat-shit crazy decesions coming out of the EU and it's march towards fascism(again), it is good thing that Brexit happened.
Britain is more authoritarian than the vast majority of the EU. You've got that ass-backwards.
"It's" means "it is".
Give us an example of a 'bat-shit' crazy decision, I'm just curious.
Long term, it might mean war... unless you think that is old fashioned...
lol. War. This is real life. Maybe in Putin's wet dreams.

All I can think to say to the sane USians is: get the fuck out and vote next time, dickheads.
