Ever since I started reading news online ten or so years ago, I've been reading stories with similar topics. "We may have found an area with life" seems to be one of the most common and erroneous news stories that gets tossed about. The "Is the world going to end on [insert day here]" is probably the only one I see more often.

I guess if it didn't feel like someone was crying wolf all the time, it'd affect me more, but at this point I'm a little numb to it all.

At most it would be simple bacterial life - and why not when it is that close to Earth - I place so fine tuned for life the mind boggles. The fact is could intelligent life form on Mars - the answer is simply no.

well I dont know much but I think God must be creating like forever, if we did find life anywhere else, that would also explain how God spends his time :ebiggrin:
It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if
the Thing on the ice got them tonight.

I could only turn and stare in horror at the chief surgeon.

and to a cold almost the equal of the Dante-esque Ninth Circle Arctic Night
without.

God made tons of weird living things before us on this planet, so It really would not surpirse me if he had some fun on another one
