Originally posted by joe beyserThere were no such Martian lifeforms found. If you referring to the so-called fossilized microbes found in a martian meteorite, they were actually elongated volcanic crystals with their corners and edges corroded off which just happened to end up being exactly the same kind of shape as typical bacterial cells -a simple case of mistaken identity.
Are these life forms as old as the ones they found in the Mars rock that helped NASA funding for missions to mars?
Originally posted by humyInteresting. Do you think these crystals had any impact on the funding for NASA? It sounds plausible that life can be transported by meteors when everywhere we look including really hostile environments on earth there is life.

Originally posted by humyDefinitely a case of wishful thinking. There may have been deeper motives also, along the line of using that discovery as leverage to get more money for NASA, bad part was it failed.

It is unfortunate that so many are so gullible like you and will believe anything said in the name of science without doubt.

YOU are the one unable to doubt, you are inculcated with a brainwashing system that destroys the ability to doubt.
I feel sorry for what is left of your mind.

Originally posted by RJHindsJust out of curiosity, why are there no recorded histories of humans seeing all those strikes on the moon? Surely A&E would have seen all the fires on the moon since all those craters are for sure there and it had to have happened only 6000 years ago when A&E were alive.

Originally posted by sonhouseThose records were probably destroyed or buried deep in the ocean during the worldwide flood. Next.
