After almost two years the Meridiani spheres on Mars remain a mystery.
They remain unidentified. Simple spheriods the size of bb's, made up
of mostly iron and silica, and no one can seem to figure out how
they were formed. Nasa originally identified the spheres as hematite
concretions. A positive identification as non-living mineral concretions.
But they retracted that id within a week or two, and since then have
referred to them as only 'hematite rich spheres'. Which is a generic
lawyer-like description, not a positive identification.

The near perfect spherical shape, and consistency from
one sphere to another, rules out their formation in a wet
substrate ....if the explanation is to be non-living.

This means another method for their formation has to be contrived
for the spheres to be the result of non-living processes. The only
remaining alternatives are volcanism or surface impacts. So the
geologists have offered this explanation. That the spheres formed
as a result of substrate that was heated by the ejecta from nearby
surface impacts. Even though there's ample evidence of hydrothermal
activity at Meridiani, that has to be ignored, since formation in
water means the only explanation would be microbes.

The following research shows that on earth only living processes
can explain the structure of the spheres. Which is why the
geologists have to contrive an impact related theory.

PROCESSES OF FORMATION OF SPHEROIDAL CONCRETIONS
AND INFERENCES FOR "BLUEBERRIES" IN MERIDIANI
PLANUM SEDIMENTS.

"In summary, simple nucleation controlled growth will form clumps
or bands of cement not spheroids. Spheroidal nodular concretions
on Earth result from spherical diffusion of products of
diagenetic reactions involving organics"

The composition of the spheres cannot be explained by
living processes. The structure of the spheres cannot
be explained by geological processes.

It's a tie!

The spheres cannot be explained by either geologists or
biologists after...two years of study. That is a clue.

The most mysterious thing ever discovered off this planet and
the Phd's of this world are all at a loss. Don't know, they say.
Not completely sure...inconclusive.

Just like Viking, just like the AHL meteorite......a tie... between
living and non-living explanations. Exactly inconclusive for life
three straight times now. If it's not geology as we know it, and
it's not life as we know it, there's only one logical possibility
left.

The spheres are neither...and both.

Darwin has taught us all about how life evolves from point A
to point B. The great debate that rages as we speak between
science and religion is all about how life.....first... started.
The big question is Creation.

The Opportunity spheres, imo, represent the missing link between
geology and biology. A transitional form combining equal measures
of both, without being quite either. The spheres have the
composition of simple mineral concretions, they have the
structure of microbial life.

If true, if the spheres represent the phase transition between
geology and biology, which the evidence supports, then
they would represent perhaps the single greatest scientific
discovery ....possible.

Creation itself.

I firmly believe, after studying the spheres for almost two years, that
this is the only logical conclusion possible. A perfect tie between the
geologists and biologists means Creation has been discovered at last.



And now they're finding spheres at the Spirit site as well.
Different size.

An astrobiological perspective on Meridiani Planum

"Opportunity's discoveries on Meridiani Planum hand
astrobiologists half a glass of water. Local environments
may well have been habitable during at least part of the
interval when Meridiani outcrop rocks formed. On the
other hand, Meridiani sedimentary rocks support models
of martian environmental history that that might have
frustrated prebiotic chemistry. Only continuing exploration
will tell us whether the figurative glass of martian
water is half full or half empty."

"One of the reasons for this is a sense of urgency: confirmation of
extraterrestrial life could occur at any time and in any of a number of
ways. When it occurs, we may have only limited control over the
situation."

"The discovery may stimulate a worldwide resurgence in religious activity."
page 29


" .... it is extremely important for us to be highly knowledgeable
about the likely reactions of different constituencies (the press, various
religious groups, political leaders, and the general public).
We would be foolish and negligent if we did not study such reactions
well ahead of time and make state-of-the art preparations for major
discoveries."
