I cannot fathom how discovering buried "lost cities" would somehow falsify evolution.

Recent images from Cydonia and other Martian areas present an insoluble conundrum for NASA and JPL researchers.

What drives the basic instinct of NASA and JPL to deny these stories and try to claim the images are showing natural formations? One possible motive which has been suggested involves the division of funding between manned and unmanned space missions at NASA and JPL.

But, more realistically, the major problem which the Cydonia findings presents to the people in these agencies is one of basic scientific paradigms. Nobody could build all of this stuff on this kind of a megalithic scale with space-suits on; the planet has to be habitable for Cydonia to get built. This is a huge problem, in that it would require a totally different basic theory of the history of our solar system from the one which the scientists have. There is simply no way, given the standard paradigm, in which Mars could have ever been habitable. It would always have been too cold, and it would never have had the gravity necessary to hold a livable atmosphere, assuming that gravity is the only thing which ever holds atmosphere to planets.

The standard scientific axiomatic scheme including the basic doctrine of uniformitarianism, evolution etc. etc. does not allow for solar-system-wide catastrophes within the age of man, nonetheless, that is precisely what we have here. Those newer face images are definitely modern people and not early hominids. Nothing involving modern people here, on Mars, or anywhere else figures to be millions of years gone by, and nothing capable of destroying the planet next to us and making a dead world of it would have gone unnoticed by our ancestors.

What we have here is another case of junk science, i.e. the theory of evolution and the doctrine of uniformity, destroying research and logical thinking amongst scientists. The science pages of our journals are filled by descriptions of NASA projects to search for microbes on Mars while studiously ignoring major evidence that they have found a city there, as if germs were important, and cities were not.

That's great, Ted, but the formation of the solar system (and the entire universe) is a matter independant of evolution.

Thanx for the laugh dude.....
When can we make reservations at the Medvedopolis Hilton? Looks like a real snazzy place.
Give me a break...I fail to see anything that remotely looks man-made...or should I say martian made in those pictures. Guess the idea of natural formations is too difficult for you to grasp?

Recent images from Cydonia and other Martian areas present an insoluble conundrum for NASA and JPL researchers.

From the webiste you linked:

Information has been coming in for two or three years now from the device presently over Mars. Massive evidence of Mars having been inhabited fairly recently has been accumulating. As Metaresearch and other www sites dealing with the subject note, this includes evidence of settlements:

Note the terracing, and the rows of structures which are heavily weathered to the upper right of the image but which retain their rectangular corners on the lower left (leeward) side.

And what, praytell, whould that "insoluble conundrum" be?

Are we to believe that the same rational individual who sees man-made structures in the picture above can make authoritative statements on the complexities of evolution?
