RE: [Utah-astronomy] (From NASA) Mars - Recent GushingWaterandNewCraters
No condescension was intended, and if that's how it was perceived then I apologize to anyone who were offended by the way I worded my last post. My intent was to encourage people to learn about a seldom-used word and begin appreciating the deep, and newly relevant implications of the theoretical processes for which the word serves as a label. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/panspermia Seth -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces+sjarvis=slco.org@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces+sjarvis=slco.org@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Chuck Hards Sent: Thursday, December 07, 2006 11:40 AM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: RE: [Utah-astronomy] (From NASA) Mars - Recent GushingWaterandNewCraters That 'look it up' remark was just a bit condescending, Seth- we've had the discussion on the list before. The "Martian Meteorite" spurred it most recently several years ago, IIRC. I personally would find it pretty neat if it turned out that we and the Martians share a common heritage. And I can't wait to see how the ID debate morphs if it turns out that we DO share genetic material with an extra-terrestrial life form. --- Seth Jarvis <SJarvis@slco.org> wrote:
There's a word that you're going to hear a lot more about now that Mars just became a whole lot more habitable.
Panspermia.
Look it up and start the discussion!

I understand- it's the educator in you and you probably can't help yourself! No offense taken. Now, keep your educator's hat on, go ahead and speculate a bit... Assuming life on Mars is found, and further assume that it is clearly related to terrestrial DNA- what do you see as being the fallout in society? --- Seth Jarvis <SJarvis@slco.org> wrote:

I think we can look to Carl Sagan's "Contact" and the subsequent movie for a hint of what might happen.

Really wicked-looking amusement park rides? I get the feeling you don't trust your government to give you all the facts here, Kim... ;o) --- Kim <kimharch@cut.net> wrote:
