Apparently it's a total waste of money to go to Mars to search for life because: "Mars is a desert planet and perhaps there is ice and maybe even water there. So what? Who cares? It's water! That doesn't mean a thing. Life originated on Earth when God spoke it into existence and there is no need in wasting billions of dollars of taxpayer money searching for an answer that is based upon faulty evolutionary ideas." (Just to be clear as well: the Phoenix was nowhere NEAR "billions of dollars") Of course he follows that immediately by suggesting that the money would be better spent... on science. To "fight disease" and "research cancer". So cancer research (which is absolutely based on those "faulty" evolutionary ideas) is fine. I'm in constant amazement concerning the level of compartmentalization and intellectual dishonesty displayed by evangelicals. I'm also amazed by the level of control the seek to exert over their God. Apparently the "almighty" couldn't speak life into existence on Mars? Or anyplace he damn well wanted?
