Better yet, lets look at this a more logical way. Mars has the same type of rock formations as the earth. Catastrophic events on earth have buried and mixed all these diferent types of formations common to all planets, simularities which they have share, because they were all formed the same way.

...the scientists then asked for additional funding so that they could further contemplate the origin of the lint in their belly buttons.

The ill-informed, sarcastic drivel spouted by mini-minds that can't wrap around anything bigger than six days and six thousand years never ceases to amaze...

I really wonder why they fear revelation of facts so strongly...

Maybe I should really light a fire and mention the epitome of sinful words: "evolution"...</SARCASM>

Some folks around here need a much bigger God...

LMAO! A rocket scientist! Indeed. Probes have only sampled a wee tiny insignificant sample of dirt, far from enough to draw any conclusions of that nature. Since the earth, and all other planets for that matter are constantly bombarded with the same crap floating around in space, they all contain the same stuff, on the earth, it's heated and churned around and spit up by volcanic activity in varying combinations, because this activity isn't the exact same on every planet, you get what apears to be different combinations of the same material.

Rocket science huh?

Lets see, using the hair- brained BBT, the entire universe was formed by nothing exploding, creating these base gases, hydrogen, helium and heavy helium, etc which turned into quasars which then exploded, creating all these minerals (rocks, with fossils in them now they say) with where spewed all over the universe and slowly gathered together and formed planets. The deep rock was pushed up by a volcano or metor strike on Mars send speeding to earth and created life, 4.5 billion years ago. And they just upgraded the age of the universe to 14.5 billion years, so that means Life on Mars occured, and died fossilized, was deeply buried at the birth of the universe. Let's not even fathom how everything somehow organized itself into balanced order during all this kaos.

I hate to tell you, But that's not rocket science, that's quackery.

Mini minds huh? I design and build things that would boggle the minds of these telescope peeping "rocket scientists". It seems that the can take an impossibility which violates the basic laws of physics, add even more stupidity to it and mini minds will believe it without even taking the time to investigate these "theories".

Probably because they are incapable of doing so.

...you need to be a rocket scientist to participate fully in this discussion...

Aw, damn! I'm an elitist snob, can't I play too?

Sure you can. Any theory you can come up with is valid until proved wrong. But, there are a hundreds of "rocket scientists"
Which dispute this BBT quackery, you can always use their models, none of which have been disproved either.

In fact, I have a unique theory of my own. Our entire universe exists in a bugs turd, this bug that created that turd, (our big bang) it's universe exists within another turd, and so on and so on for infinity. Our while concept of time is but a micro second in this bugs concept of time, and so on and so on. Because time didn't exist before the creation of our universe, it's forbidden for us to think beyond that moment. I don't know why exactly, but I've been told that.

This identifying the possible origin of the chunk of rock is mere taxonomy with an eye toward evolutionary theory. Taxonomy as a precursor of science is about on the scientific level of naming the animals. But, Newtonian mechanics does allow for interchange of small amounts of material between planets, which doesn't go far toward verifying bosonic string theory.

Now, that's quackery! Just lots of scientific-sounding terms thrown together -- with no comprehension of modern cosmological thinking.

Get back to us on cosmology -- when you've passed high school science...and have learned the difference between a quark and a quasar...

In the meantime, welcome to the fourteenth century!

The bosonic string theories are all unstable. It's just as well that bosonic string theory is unstable, because it's not a realistic theory to begin with. The real world has stable matter which satisfy the Pauli Exclusion Principle where two identical particles cannot be in the same quantum state at the same time.

>"Meteorites survive intact all the time."

And sometimes the meteorites are worshipped as gawd by stone age death cults with nuclear weapons!

That's exactly what I say too! Quackery! That is how the BBT is described.

And on you go to superspace, tachyons, heterotic superstring theories, and all sorts of brain masturbation all to end up with unworkable theory. Good way to get lots of calculus practice though.

I'm on it. Making a list of topics that need refreshing so I can read this string theory text. It is probably just an exercise; nobody is even pretending anymore that we are getting any closer to the true nature of reality.

'dawn of the universe'

It says dawn of the solar system, two different things.

Wow! Kinda makes my theory of a Flying Psgetti Monster as creator of the universe and the designer of evolution pale in comparision - though my version IS much more, um, palatable, if you will.
