He's from a crew called BRKF$T Club out of Chicago. Their shit is pretty diverse in how it sounds.

This thread has at least 3 based gods, breh!

And to think that science and religion used to go hand in hand.
And that many scientists were/are religious and the vatican has it own observatory..

Hmmm how insane we are...

That's the thing....
Catholics secretly believe in science, they just don't want their followers to. As I've always said, religious leaders know the truth, they just don't want their followers to know.

found this on a catholic website, actually interesting study.


Scientists '99 percent' certain they have found life on Mars

Reevaluation of Viking 2 data reveals evidence of microbial life.

An international team of scientists says they have found evidence for life on Mars by re-reviewing results from the 1976 Viking 2 experiments. According to the scientists, a mathematical second look at the data reveals the presence of microbial life on the red planet.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - A primary mission for the 1976 Viking 2 Lander was to search for evidence of life on Mars. Viking 2 used a scoop to obtain soil samples that were subjected to various radiological and chemical tests to find evidence for microbial activity in the soil. According to NASA scientists, the tests all showed negative results.

However, armed with new understandings, scientists have been challenging these results as they reexamine the original data. Now, according to a paper published by an international team of scientists and mathematicians, they believe the evidence in favor of life is substantial.

How substantial? About 99 percent.

Joseph Miller, biologist from the University of Southern California, Keck School of Medicine said, "On the basis of what we've done so far, I'd say I'm 99 percent sure there's life there."

This a bold statement for any scientist, and a bolder conclusion still for a team of them.

The new study evaluated the original data, but with a different mathematical perspective. Researchers say the original results were declared negative because scientists did not yet understand some of the complex chemical processes that were occurring. However, with new understandings available, they believe the original results match similar experiments done on Earth that show positive.

Planetary scientist Christopher McKay from NASA's Ames Research Center said, "Contrary to 30 years of perceived wisdom, Viking did detect organic materials on Mars. It's like a 30-year-old cold case suddenly solved with new facts."

Critics of course, warn the results are preliminary and that it is premature to make any formal announcement. However, the team's findings have been published in the International Journal of Aeronautical and Space Sciences.

They also caution that evidence of organics is not evidence for life, but the results of the new study suggest there was more activity in the soil than the mere presence of organics. Organics in this case are carbon-based molecules that form the basis of all life as we know it.

With the new research published, other scientists will have an opportunity to pick it apart and validate the integrity of the research. If they find the research methods to be sound, it will probably provoke another follow-up mission to Mars that will be designed to specifically answer the question once and for all.

However, even in the best case, that mission will be several years in the planning and likely take a year of travel to reach Mars. In that case, final word on the question may still be a decade away.

I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT THE RELIGION I WAS BROUGHT UP IN, ALONG WITH A LOT OF THINGS OVER THE YEARS. 1 IS THAT A CONSPIRACY THEORIST MAKES AS MUCH SENSE AS A CRACKHEAD OFF THE STREET WHO BARELY LEARNED READING THE BIBLE N THINKS HE ALL OF A SUDDEN CAN PREACH TO ME ON WHAT IT'S ABOUT.

You do know that the vast majority of conspiracy theorists are religious people who try tie their conspiracies in to biblical stories to make it seem as if the bible prophesied everything, right?
