Read anything on astrobiology?

I read more journal than you ever will. Moreover, I have colleagues who are considered the best in the field. Admittedly, I'm no biologist, but I believe that I am just as informed as you are on the subject.

Alex writes:
The prevailing wisdom is that the SURFACE of Mars is hostile to Earth-based life, but deep core samples are another issue. At any rate, what I "think" and what I can "prove" are two different things, and this applies to you as well. Hand waving analogies are not useful.
