Son, I've seen the future. The future is molybdenum!

think, might, probably, may, possibly, perhaps...
I think the scientist might have been guessing. In fact he probably was, and may possibly want to consider another line of work. Perhaps “science” isn’t his strong suit.

the oxidised mineral form of the element molybdenum, thought to be a catalyst that helped organic molecules develop into the first living structures.Problem here is that "organic molecules" supposedly existed before living structures ... but isn't the word "organic" associated only with living structures?

“Its yet another piece of evidence which makes it more likely life came to Earth on a Martian meteorite, rather than starting on this planet.”
Yeh thats the ticket. :-)

Right.
Because he forgot the part about the singed eyebrows.

No, “organic” is any carbon based structure.

It is claimed by many scientists that life arose in our ocean, because the chemical reactions to assemble a self replicating molecule was a really, really, really, lucky accident, and it helps the odds if all the chemicals are being mixed in a large ocean, creating trillions of chemical reactions and using the energy of the sun and wind. Yet even then, the odds are really really not so good, and there are enough difficulties that some scientists have resorted to Panspermia, the theory that life originated elsewhere, and was sent here.
But by claiming that life originated on Mars, they aren't really making things more believable. Mars probably had liquid water, but not as much as Earth, and so the number of random chemical reactions goes down considerably, and making spontaneous life from non life even harder. Plus, the sun is nearly twice as far away, giving Mars only a fraction of the energy it gives to Earth. Again, this limits the energy in the Martian system and limits the number of chemical reactions that could have been randomly done. So even if there is molybdenum there, I doubt it would overcome the extra hurdles imposed by the Martian environment.

Yes, they have been watching too much “Ancient Aliens” on the History Channel, where every sentence begins with “could it be that ....?”.

Hmmm....do volcanos figure into this somwhere?
To: Fractal Trader
Even if so... So what?
Whether life began on mars and moved here, or life began here... It doesn’t explain why life began.

It doesnt explain why life began. Because it could.

organic is any carbon based structure. Check your dictionary. Compounds like carbon dioxide are called "inorganic."

The human hand is one of the most marvelous things on earth. Joints for flexibility. Bones for rigidity. Tendons connecting to muscle tissue which are connected to the central nervous system which respond to mere thoughts viathe human mind.
Engineers, surgeons, chemists, etc, have worked for hundreds of years to reproduce the human hand and the best they can come up with is a very unimpressive (when compared to the original) facsimile.
And the atheist insists this happened by mere chance, not to mention the rest of the human body.
