This last line of the article sure is something.

So, the question remains: have attempts to explore Mars been secretly scuppered by religious scientists keen to keep planet Earth “special”?

The problem is, we know that there ought to be organic molecules on Mars. Asteroid and comet impacts will have put them there.


What?

And where would the asteroids and comets get “organic” molecules? Let’s assume the didn’t get them from the Earth (the only place we currently know for sure “organic” stuff exists.) Why would there be not just an expectation, but an assumption that asteroids contain organic material?

"This is beginning to look like a conspiracy. Does someone not want us to find life on Mars?"

No, quite to the contrary; NASA has a vested interest in faking life on Mars to keep the sham rolling, and their over-generous salaries flowing.

I'm puzzled. Yes, meteorites found on Earth have organic molecules in them. I'd expect these same molecules to be found on Mars as a result of meteor bombardment.

The perchlorates in the soil would oxidize the carbon in the organic molecules, especially if heated. But the carbon won't disappear. It will still be present as carbon dioxide. Didn't the experiment test for that?

Foolish Earthlings!

While you look to Mars, the Mushroom People are planning to attack Cincinnatti!

Christians believe in a Creator God.

More examples of creation would only enhance His coolness.

Conspiracists on the left, AND the right, its plain silly, no sad, and even dangerous.

The ludicrous article alludes to conspiracies by nameless, sinister, bureaucratic forces at a monolithic NASA. They aren’t like the “smoking man” on the X-files, and don’t work at top-secret government-military installations, they are teaching and research faculty at places like the University of Arizona, Texas, and Brown University. Go to the JPL website and you can send emails to the principal investigators of the Phoenix mission. If the author has evidence they are part of a conspiracy, have the balls to challenge them by name.

Keep this **Top Secret**

-—Freepers eyes only-—

Everyone knows that Reid has direct access to area 51. Several decades ago, Reid authorized a launch to Mars from within area 51. A sealed package secreted onboard contained Obama’s original long form BC. You see, what we have been experiencing today has been planned for a long time.

Obama was the child from the unholy union between Reid and Pelosi. They had to get the B/C off of our planet.

The CIA recently discovered this foul doing and that is why Pelosi has been trying to discredit the CIA.

Also involved in this conspiracy is T Kennedy. You see, Kennedy doesn’t really have a brain tumor, he’s pregnant, that’s not a brain in his head, it’s an alien womb.

Specter’s move to the democrat party is not what everyone thinks. He too is pregnant and his baby is due very soon. Bwarny Frank is it’s father.

I can’t report more right now because my nurses caught me on the computer and they want me to go back to my room and take my meds. I will no doubt be probed again too.

It is widely doubted, but IMO The Viking Labeled Release Experiment and Life on Mars designed by Gilbert V. Levin found it. I've never found the supposed evidence from the supposed Martian meteorites compelling though.

Wow, is this guy a great urinalist!!?? Yep, the recent Bilderbergers meeting in Greece was to coordinate a brilliant conspiracy to keep the world from knowing about Bigfoot life on Mars and how they built a spacecraft to come to Earth, all so they can can hold us all hostage from their threat of a Martian invasion to further their evil plan of worldwide domination! NASA was created by these evil geniuses just to further the conspiracy!

Who knew the Bilderbergers were fronting for Christian fundamentalist fanatics?? Is that brilliant or what??!!

And Doctor Evil is orchestrating it all! For a measly million bucks! Mooooohhhaaaaahhhhaaaa!
