Was there Life on Mars?
NASA wants you to believe
that
all life on this planet
rode here on this scorched rock! Are you that crazy?

The news reports declare that there was life on
Mars three million years ago.
Not plant or animal life, but a single cell smaller than bacteria. They
theorize that it
came to earth on a potato-sized rock. Proof? NASA chief Dan Goldin
claims that tiny
fossils of Martian organisms are present in a meteorite they believe
landed in Antarctica
13,000 years ago. A golf-ball-sized chunk of the meteorite, labeled
ALH84001, was
displayed in a clear plastic case at a recent news conference.
For two years, scientists from the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration
and Stanford University examined the 4.2 pound meteorite for
traces of organic
molecules and carbon compounds--building blocks of life on earth. They
believe the rock
formed under the Mars' surface about 4.5 billion years ago.
Between 3.6 billion and 4 billion years ago, water
penetrated fractures in the
rock and deposited carbonate materials (they say). They believe living
organisms may have
been involved in the formation of the carbonate and some of the
microscopic organisms may
have fossilized in the rock. Inside microscopic globs of carbonate,
they found polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons--or PAHs-- mineral compounds associated with
microscopic organisms
and possible microscopic fossils.
Photographs show the carbonate as orange-brown in
color with black and white
rims. "Compounds in these rims are very similar to those produced on
earth by
bacteria. The simplest explanation is that these are products of
micro-organisms on
Mars," Kathie Thomas-Keprta of Lockheed-Martin said at the briefing.
Even members of the investigative team were
skeptical. Stanford University's
Richard Zare noted that PAHs are present on earth in non-organic
substances such as diesel
exhaust, candle soot or even charred meat. It is possible that these
substances originated
on earth.
There is such public zeal to throw out the Bible
and believe in anything else,
these announcements have unleashed a fury of conjectures. For instance,
the UFO cults are
having a field day with this. They are crying, "I told you so!" and
resurrecting
the "Martian-invasion" images of Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds"
infamy.
Others have dared to go so far as to suggest that
life on earth actually
originated on Mars, and was imported to this planet. If that is true,
then we are being
asked to believe that life could first of all be miraculously
catapulted with rocket force
out of Mars gravitational field. We must then believe that it can
survive a sixteen
million year journey through space, plunge into the earth's atmosphere
at several thousand
miles per hour, experience white-hot friction of hundreds of degrees,
impact in snowy ices
of Antarctica, yet still evolve into every plant, animal and human
species!
These same people will not believe that God parted
the Red Sea, (even though
searchers now claim to have found remnants of Pharaoh's chariots). The
American public is
being bamboozled in a most sophisticated way.
NASA is expected to solicit billions of dollars
from Congress to explore Mars in
this hyped-up fraud, while a national denial of the creation of the
universe by the living
God is being perpetrated. President Clinton said, "I am determined that
the American
space program will put its full intellectual power and technological
prowess behind the
search for further evidence of life on Mars.
"If this discovery is confirmed it will surely be
one of the most stunning
insights into our universe that science has ever uncovered." Carl
Sagan, renowned
atheist scientist and Professor at Cornell University and author of
"Cosmos",
enthusiastically agreed, while admitting that the organic chemicals
reported in the study
"are not evidence of life."
There is a major socio-political coup being
orchestrated by the atheistic powers
that be. It is time for Christians to scream to the top of the
collective voices. One
crowd says that Martians are real, while another group says we are
Martians! May I remind
you that Darwin's theories of evolution have never yet been proven!
We have far more reason to believe Moses' account
of creation than NASA will
ever have to support its outrageous theories. From the time of Moses unto this
day, there are
thousands of years of archeological and historical evidences supporting
the Biblical
version of world history.
While NASA officials flaunt these outrageous
interplanetary rocks, why doesn't
someone wave some photos of the remains of Noah's Ark, the Ziggurat
ruins of Babel, the
fallen Jericho walls, or the Egyptian accounts of the Exodus.
The same people who deny the God of miracles are
believing in random accidents
far more fantastic than just about any miracle in the Bible! It is the
fool who says in
his heart "there is no God." Let's cling to sanity in the name of God.
