This whole 'life-on-Mars' hypothesis is based on the scientists' hope to prove their pet theory.

And the problem is...?

Without being educated in science I can still say with absolute certainty...

Ah. As I suspected.

"Ah. As I suspected."

Ah, the arrogance of the modern 'scientist'.

(1). Yawn! The (amonia = Martian life) story claims that a NASA scientist said: ”there are no known ways for ammonia to be present in the Martian atmosphere that do not involve life.” However, the piece does not even give the name of this alleged 'NASA scientist'.

(2). An article written by Stephen Strauss of the 'Globe and Mail Update' says that reporters inundated the ESA for more information on the amonia 'discovery', and were referred to Guido De Marchi, an astronomer who also works as a Holland-based press officer for ESA. His response was: "It is not true; it is a hoax,”

(3). Some scientists say that amonia can be caused by electrical discharges such as lightening.

(4). Still other scientists say amonia could be caused by undetected volcanic activity on Mars.

(5). Still others claim it means there must be life on Mars.

Number 5 is what troubles me about these 'scientists'. Even with weak, unsubstantiated or refuted evidence, they still try to put forth their theories as facts, as though they were written in blood or etched in stone somewhere. But when you mention GOD to many of these people they smirk and say HE can't be seen or proven to exist, hence life began in some pool of slime or through some incredulous "big bang" theory. They have faith in themselves and their theories and try to advance them with a transcendent authority. It's all vanity.

Now please excuse me while I turn on the radio and listen to Art Bell, he always lulls me to sleep withing two minutes.
