I don't know if any of you remember the original Cosmos series by Carl Sagan. In it he described a group of early scientists looking at Mars and saying they couldn't see a thing, therefore there must be an atmosphere. And, if there is an atmosphere, there must be plant life. And, if there is plant life then animal life must have evolved just as it did here on hearth. In other words he said:

Observation: I can't see a thing.

Conclusion: Dinosaurs!

It was a great example of scientists reading too much into the "evidence."

For the record, Carl Sagan believed in evolution and God.

"For the record, Carl Sagan believed in evolution and God."

Actually, Sagan was an atheist. I do remember the Cosmos episode where he spoke about evolution; it was shown to my 9th grade biology class. It was a Catholic High School and my teacher was a nun. Excellent teacher btw; she taught us that evolution and religion were not enemies. She liked Sagan, but lamented that so bright a man was an atheist.
