I agree with that in principle.
However, we would also first need to confirm that any life on Mars is TOTALLY INDEPENDENT of life on Earth. If Mars seeded Earth with life, or vice versa, then we would still know of life "originating" from only one place.
Having said that, I think it is highly likely that there is life out there in the vast universe in numerous places, considering the size of the universe.edit on 11/22/2012 by Soylent Green Is People because: sppellling

Can I point out that if you look at the RAW images from JPL there is two interesting things to note - sol 31 is missing, but perhaps more significant to what is currently being discussed - sol 99....would have been the 15th of Nov...maybe something of nothing but judging from from sol 98 and sol 100 they were taking high resolution close ups of rocks using MAHLI and the ChemCam - it might also be interesting to note that the "Chemcam" team with Ken Herkenhoff had a meeting on the day that would have been sol 99.
Ill say it again, may bear no significance at all but based on what it looks like they would have been doing on sol 99 and what equipment they were using any "history book" discovery does appear likely to be microbial.........we were expecting this anyway I guess.

Well, it narrows down a lot of possibilities
Any thoughts?

Why not wait to hear what the announcement actually consists of before throwing muck around Eye of Horus? Why not allow the infomation to come out, before trying to assault the position of those you obviously feel are lying to you?
Another quick point, if you really think that NASA are about lying to you, then what better way of pulling the wool over ones eyes, than to make one believe that even the truth is a lie?
