The thought process to say "up against" is defeatist. Not that I'm
offended by it, I'm not, I'm just saying perhaps it should be "work
together" instead.
Here's something FUN!
I'm curious how many listees are actually open to it and "believe". ;)
A POLL - Do you Believe in Aliens?

Eric, Kirk& Listees,
Most people post to the list (hopefully) when they think they have something
useful and positive to contribute. Perhaps the lack of posts simply reflects
the fact that there may be many people on the list knowledgeable about
meteorites, but few, if any, who are knowledgeable enough about the fields
cyanobacteria, exbiology, or interpretation of microfossils in ancient rocks.
To know what you are up against read the following:
Cradle of Life: The Discovery of Earth's Earliest Fossils [Paperback]

Hi Kirk, I agree such a discovery, if true, is monumental. Perhaps even
larger than one person could ever conceive or comprehend. As huge as
news of this is, not one person responded with comment to even refute
this lastest link or argue against it, or propose another opinion at
all. It simply got ignored.
I'm seriously curious about this apparent double standard on the burden
of proof. Sure, there's questions to be asked, but my point is no ones
asking... Even the NASA's announcement of 3 Martian meteorites having
"possible" evidence of life in the form of microbial fossils was
practically ignored from most list members a few months back. Barely any
discussion on it at all. It seems people would rather whine about what
meteorite is paired with what, complain about pricing than talk about
what really matters.
Aliens!
It's like no one wants to talk about the possibility of aliens or
something! ;) Is there really some alien stigma out there?
Are people afraid of being accused of being crazy tinfoil hat wearing
alien mind probe freaks?
Regards,
Eric
