Sounds like he has watched one too many Star Trek shows. His thinking is extremely unoriginal, also steeped in fantasy and wishful thinking.

Sorry, Star Trek isn't science. In the world of science vs. science fiction, researchers have been focused on how to detect life in the habitable zone around other stars. Such habitable zones have until recently been defined to be regions where liquid water can exist.

I'm not sure what living rocks you may have seen on the totally fictional series Star Trek, but modern scientists might actually be led to consider such things because of actual scientific evidence. They are NOT being "unoriginal" and somehow stealing a wacky idea from science fiction. To believe otherwise is like believing Wilbur and Orville Wright were "unoriginal" and stole the idea of flight from Icarius.
