Yup. A fossilized bacterium on Mars is just a fossilized bacterium on Mars. Certainly has no logical bearing on the existence of God. I have so little respect for the integrity of leftists I would question their ability to even accurately interpret the facts before them. These folks, we must not forget, do not go out to find whatever exists, letting the chips fall where they may. They actually go out looking for proof of a claim they have already accepted without proof. Under these ridiculous circumstances you tend to find what you are looking for. Duh...

It would only be a problem for fundamentalists (I am not one, but I am not hostile to them) if it contradicted something in the Bible. If it is merely a matter of not being mentioned in the Bible, there is no problem. The presence of a bacterium on another planet has no theological significance that I know of. Perhaps Shepherd could explain why he thinks there is a problem.......

"The universe created life or life created the universe." As a fundamentalist, I understood that you would be a bible literalist, therefore you would believe that the Earth was created as a "special creation" and human beings are a special creation of God. The Earth in the days of the bible was thought to be the center of the universe with the sun and the rest of the universe revolving around it. Please explain how "life could have created the universe". And I'm surprised to hear you say God is not a magician. Where in fundamentalism does it say God established the laws of the universe and works withing them. If that were so, for example, how could there have been only two human beings created to start the human race? Wouldn't we all have the same DNA? Was incest involved?
