    Cliffs notes? Why would water on Mars matter?

    As far as we know, water is a necessary prerequisite for life. So, the probability that there is life on Mars goes up if there is water.

    Science and facts have a liberal bias.

    Many scientists feel that the presence of water on another planet greatly increases the chance of finding life on that planet.

    If life is discovered on Mars, let's say even something small and simple like microbes or amoebae, then some social conservatives are going to get very defensive about their particular holy book being earth-centric. And the liberals are going to jump on and claim it is evidence of how incomplete the bible (or whatever holy book) is.

    My guess is Rush's nonsensical rant is a sort of pre-emptive strike against that.

    Strange. He did said GW and then jump right into advance civilization. So yea, I think you are right there. But it's so unnecessary and looney.

    If it comes that there is or were life, even more advanced life at some point on Mars, there would be an initial shock. But the bible? The president of the Vatican Observatory Foundation already said that alien life forms will be discovered eventually, but it doesn't conflict with their religion. Some Christians in the US believe that dinosaurs live among human and that the Earth is 6000 years old. A discovery of life on Mars won't change anything among those groups. They will find way to reconcile, including rejection of the information, just as they do today.

    I was going to say there isn't a conflict between aliens and the Bible apart from the underlying evolution argument. But then I did a google search, and find that some people do think it is a theological conflict. The main idea I seem to have run across is that it'd be somehow unfair for the end of creation to come to these far away places that had nothing at all to do with the central story of original sin and redemption that occurs on Earth. It doesn't seem to strike me as any sort of problem, but apparently it bothers other people.
