Mars environment makes it unlikely there is life forms as we know them.

Surface environment is very different, yes.

But underground there is abundant water, rests of volcanic activity
providing possible nutrients, pressure is higher, temperatures are
higher than the surface, and the environment could provide for numerous
life forms.


Theory and conjecture, not fact.


Methane is unstable in the surface of Mars. Something must be producing
it, surely some joker that has hidden methane under the surface to lead
NASA into error.


There are any number of ways that methane could be detected without
something 'producing' it as we go. You should read up on this.


The fossils formations recognized by biologists?


The 'looks sort of like a microbe produced formation' recognized by
ONE biologist? No fossils.


Hallucinations produced by smoking pot and writing scientific papers at
the same time.


More like the hallucinations produced by smoking pot and reading a
scientific paper at the same time. You should stop that.


Magnetite of biological purity found in mars meteorites?


I'm not even sure what the **** this is supposed to mean. Are you
claiming that magnetite is ONLY produced by life? Really???


Pure contamination of course.


No, more like pure ignorance.


The circadian rhythms found in Viking data?

Poppycok, as McCall loves to say.


I don't particularly love to say it. I wish you'd provide fewer
opportunities where it is the only sensible response.


The rock facing the Viking lander becomes more green in spring and the
spectra of the rock is similar to the spectra of lichens?

[put some stupid remark here]


I'll leave that to you, since you already put a stupid remark in front
of it.


NASA acknowledges that organic matter exists in the surface of mars?

[just put one sentence. No arguments of course]


Cite? A description of this 'organic matter'?


Since NASA doesn't look for life, only for geology, and nobody expects
to find anything, all hints are ignored.


False.


What is annoying is the absolute zero degree of this discussion.


Perhaps you should educate yourself, then?


"Theory and conjecture, not fact"

That's all you have to say? The peer reviewed papers? Nothing.

What is the point of discussing if you just throw sentences around
whithout any argumentation?


What is the point of discussing if you just spew loony?
