I save to say though, I'm kind of rooting for this thing. That's mainly because it's been mocked and besmirched for decades, and helped along on its journey by sketchy characters with their fake proofs and false promises that never deliver.
But then just watch, some real proof will smack people upside the head unexpectedly. I suppose if I had to hazard a guess, it'd be somewhat along the lines of what MM posted...
How will they get proof? Would DNA from animal poop still exist in any of the material discovered? It sounds like a silly question, but I’m actually serious.
... involving the animals, that is. You know how squirrels are, they do such a good job of hiding their stash, that they forget where they buried most of it.
I find peanuts in the strangest places all over the yard, thus the information inspiration suggests that if the formation's "biosignature" sniffs up peanuts from bow to stern, there's yer sign.
Some while back in my word travels (that's an important link BTW), I discovered that "squirrel" in Hebrew (סְנָאִי) is literally a bush rat, etymologically connected to Sinai and the burning bush:
סְנָאִי m.n. NH squirrel. [Formed from סְנֶה (= thorn, bush), through back formation from חֻלְדַּת הַסְנָאִים, ‘squirrel’, where סְנָאִים is the pl. of סְנֶה.] (Link)
rat of (חֻלְדַּת) the bushes (סְנָאִים)
And we all know that "rat" is code for an informant, so there you have it -- Bob's your uncle! (Bob is obviously the black sheep of the family.)
(Revelation -- it's an art and a science. The self-anointed "serious" researchers can never keep up, much less find anything truly ground-breaking, not in a million years.)
