How comforting to know that $2.5 billion of our tax dollars are being wasted (sorry, "invested") to find evidence of life of Mars. The critical clues will be traces of water. And we all know what that means. Just get yourself some carbon (and a few other things) and JUST ADD WATER, and voila, LIFE!

Silicon is the seventh most abundant element in the universe. The planet Mars apparently has a heavy dose of it. Should NASA then say that Mars has the ingredients for computer chips and laptops, with the intended implication that computer chips and laptops may have self-assembled on Mars in the past, or might in the future?

"There's almost unanimous agreement that Mars once had conditions suitable for life as we understand it, he said. If life never arose, he said, scientists will want to know why not."

NASA wants to know why life did NOT arise on Mars? As if to say NASA knows why life DID arise on earth? Incredible!

Then, the finale. This unintentional but damning indictment of the evolutionists and origin-of-lifers and all of junk science: "Anderson said he won't be disappointed if Curiosity fails to bring us any evidence of past life. "You have to be careful that you don't confuse what you want to see with what you are seeing."
