Avoided that self contradiction on panspermia issue once again Barry. Your long history of contradiction, evasion, and downright technical obtuseness on that issue is documented at this active link

The lie you tell is claiming the possibility of Martian microbe meteorite based transfer is Zubrin's theory. There are many links at this active link discussing the evidence microbes could hitch hike from Mars to Earth aboard meteorites from meteorite experts and astrobiologists. None of them is pushing manned Mars missions publicly. Your attempts to link this issue as a manned Mars mission propaganda is a convenient lie on your part in a poor attempt to discredit work counter to your technically unsupported point of view. Unlike you, Zubrin keeps up to date on Mars related science and uses it in his debates and oped pieces, but that does not make him the owner of those theories.

Once again you ignore comments by those with the most obvious relevant expertise and additional commentary based on that to focus on the opinion of someone with less obvious expertise. It is entirely consistant with your use of outdated references and rejected theories despite having the counter evidence pointed out to you. I responded to your use of comments by Benton Clark at Funny Double Standard. I gave details on where and why I think he is wrong as well as where I think you misused his comments. You did not respond to those comments. You don't debate the issues surrounding your claims of Martian biohazard and seldom have. In a later post after a link to the full contents of Clark's article I also noted that he was aware that the risk from Martian microbes was likely to be low and that my guess as to your misuse of his article by selective quotation was correct. I have not seen you post the full link since then. Why not?

Mark
