A hypothesis IS a claim. He has to support it. So, NASA has to support the claim that on Eurpa has an ocean under the ice, even though its just conjecture at this moment as NASA dosn't know for sure. You really need to learn how the scientific method works. An argument/hypothesis/claim has two sides, or are you saying it only has one? Even the invisible pink unicorn in my garage agrees with me. BTW, using your definition, it's up to you to prove I don't have the unicorn I claim to have. And in any case, his claims about the "face" have been shown to be completely bogus. Further photos of the same area show nothing that looks like a face. Well your face would look pretty unface like if it had been exposed to 3 billion years of dust blown erosion. Umm, that's completely missing the point. Hoagland and others claimed that the Viking photographs clearly showed a face. And indeed it did, very face like. Now, 30 years later it's clearly NOT a face. Or are you saying the face survived 3 billion years of dust erosion only to completely change in the last 30? No, but if you exposed the pryamids in Egypt to 3 bilion years of martian dust erosion they wouldn't look artificial, even though we know that are and the Egyptian pyrimids line up mathematically with the 3 stars of orions belt. Besides, if you want something that looks "manmade" take a look at Kermit or the Smiley Face on Mars. Seen them.

A hypothesis IS a claim. He has to support it. So, NASA has to support the claim that on Eurpa has an ocean under the ice, even though its just conjecture at this moment as NASA dosn't know for sure. NASA and the planetary scientists it pays to be on the mission science teams *have* supported the claim. There is both gravitational data on the density of the bulk material below the surface from higher order gravitational terms and observational evidence of liquid coming to the surface. The face-on-mars theories were supported by data which was old (1970s) and only about 8-10 pixels wide. That is down in the noise. A lot of people tried to extract signal from that, and got what you normally do when you're looking for meaning in a few bits: exactly what you are looking for. The acid test of all those theories was the Mars Global Surveyor imagery. It was orders of magnitude higher resolution than the Viking orbiters, and did image the Cydonia 'interesting' spots quite nicely. Before MGS got there, we got some of the pro-face hypothesis people to agree to some reasonable tests for whether the artificiality hypothesis was accurate, based on what the MGS data might tell us. How accurately the MGS data supported the hypothesized symmetrical face structure, for example, and whether the hypothetical fractal geometry of the face and other nearby structures remained the same at the higher resolution imagery etc. The MGS data completely blew those tests away. The 'face' region is neither symmetrical nor anything like what the hypothesized structure looked like, and the fractal geometry of the region fell back down to background levels when the higher resolution imagery was used. The fractal geometry of the region as hypothesized has been demonstrated to be an artifact of the chosen parameters and the pixel resolution Viking provided, nothing inherent in the actual landforms. What is sad is that despite preagreement on these tests for artificiality, the pro-artificiality people are to some degree still arguing the case. Or are you saying the face survived 3 billion years of dust erosion only to completely change in the last 30? No, but if you exposed the pryamids in Egypt to 3 bilion years of martian dust erosion they wouldn't look artificial, even though we know that are and the Egyptian pyrimids line up mathematically with the 3 stars of orions belt. Some of the Egyptian pyramids do. Most of them don't. They were completed by individual pharoahs over hundreds of years and don't have any sort of master site plan related to astronomy, for the most part. It is a trivial exercise to take any large enough area of natural landforms and line some of them up with significant astronomy in the sky above. It is mathematically demonstrable that you can do it even given a completely random surface. It is not at all unusual that Hoagland and others were able to do it with the Face region in Cydonia, even if it were completely natural. -george william herbert |

So, NASA has to support the claim that on Eurpa has an ocean under the ice, even though its just conjecture at this moment as NASA dosn't know for sure. Exactly. They have made a claim and are attempting to offer evidence. This is exactly opposite of what you said folks had to do with Hoagland. You really need to learn how the scientific method works. An argument/hypothesis/claim has two sides, or are you saying it only has one? Non-sequitor. You still haven't disproved my invisible pink unicorn, therefore it must exist. Umm, that's completely missing the point. Hoagland and others claimed that the Viking photographs clearly showed a face. And indeed it did, very face like. Let me amend my statement. They claimed it showed a face and that it was proof of an intelligence and claimed there were structures as a result, etc. Now we know that it clearly is NOT a face, that the few they saw was a trick of shadows and light. Much as the several "faces" on Earth are (such as the now collapsed "Old Man of the Mountain" looked like a face from one direction.) There's clearly nothing artificial about it. Now, 30 years later it's clearly NOT a face. Or are you saying the face survived 3 billion years of dust erosion only to completely change in the last 30? No, but if you exposed the pryamids in Egypt to 3 bilion years of martian dust erosion they wouldn't look artificial, even though we know that are and the Egyptian pyrimids line up mathematically with the 3 stars of orions belt. After 3 billion years of erosion they wouldn't exist. Besides, if you want something that looks "manmade" take a look at Kermit or the Smiley Face on Mars. Seen them.
