No, no, no. No no no no no no no no.
No, no.
No.
Fox News broke the story, which ought to make one immediately suspicious it's not an organization noted for scientific acumen. But even worse, the paper claiming the discovery of bacteria fossils in carbonaceous chondrites was published in the Journal of Cosmology. I've mentioned Cosmology before it isn't a real science journal at all, but is the ginned-up website of a small group of crank academics obsessed with the idea of Hoyle and Wickramasinghe that life originated in outer space and simply rained down on Earth. It doesn't exist in print, consists entirely of a crude and ugly website that looks like it was sucked through a wormhole from the 1990s, and publishes lots of empty noise with no substantial editorial restraint. For a while, it seemed to be entirely the domain of a crackpot named Rhawn Joseph who called himself the emeritus professor of something mysteriously called the Brain Research Laboratory, based in the general neighborhood of Northern California (seriously, that was the address: "Northern California"), and self-published all of his pseudo-scientific "publications" on this web site.
It is not an auspicious beginning. Finding credible evidence of extraterrestrial microbes is the kind of thing you'd expect to see published in Science or Nature, but the fact that it found a home on a fringe website that pretends to be a legitimate science journal ought to set off alarms right there.

I don’t know, I think is was the best post on this thread so far.
The problem with 'Boutique' Conservatives like FOX and the ACU and the ruling class RINOS is that they are always trying too hard to out progessive the left.
Good point,
BTW the hate FOX trolls are everywhere these days.
Oh Yeah ... !!!
Well, guess who was born nine months to the day after Roswell?
Amazing coincidence?
I think not!!!
Relatively good 15 yrs ago, Fox can't be trusted for much now although even then I mostly ignored the talking heads (Vanity, Mr. Loofa...) and stuck to their actual hour of news with Brit Hume. It's very disappointing that Fox doesn't have higher standards and the talking heads have gotten worse: more blatant, more distorted, more gossipy.
If someone is trying to decide if life exists elsewhere, the ruins on Mars should be conclusive, not to mention that scene in Daniel Chapter Five. There are other where/whens and other life forms.
Fox News viewers are stupid idots.
Let me rephrase, viewers who take Fox News serious are stupid idiots.
When you label someone an idiot it is usually considered good form to spell idiot correctly.

I covered that in the post that preceded your response.
If you are gonna expose yourself to the media, you might as well expose yourself to the hot chicks on FOX.
