re: "It is always bad science to ignore contrary evidence and/or the balance of the data." I agree completely!

Do you know what diffusion is?

Do you know what an induction period is?

Do you know what a reaction profile is?

These are all basic to understanding why Levin's claims are suspect?

Levin's water claim was based on a mechanism that does not exist. It was junk science and it will always be junk science even if an ocean is found on Mars tomorrow. Once again, predictions do not prove you right if your mechanism is proved wrong. It's even less technically competant than making a guess that turns out to be right.

All your links are ignorant of this new data because they predate it and are thus totally irrelevant. Just another lame excuse to ignore what the data is telling you that you don't want to hear. Most Viking scientists knew their were holes in their chemistry explanation, they just knew the holes were bigger in explaining the results with biology so they went with the conclusion that best fit the data.

see ya
