Martian blueberries
"While driving on Mars, Opportunity came upon what looks like blueberries scattered on the ground. The rover had discovered clay minerals along an area called Endeavour's rim. The minerals got their bluish color from iron-rich spherules, and they likely formed when water was present."
Has NASA, or anyone else, thought of growing ceratain berries on Mars as they only grow in extreme cold weathers on Earth like in Northern Europe?

Re: Any Life on Mars Came from Earth!
Um, no. Volcanic eruptions reach temperatures up to 1200 degrees C. Any rocks or dirt thrown up in the explosion would be sterilized. Volcanic clouds can reach heights of 40 km, but eventually they stop rising because the density of the volcanic debris is greater than that of the surrounding atmosphere. However, all that pales in comparison to your biggest error. If only God can create life then only God can put life on Mars!
By the way, I was also in Who's Who, namely "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges." Two of my bosses have been in Who's Who. I bet half the people who read this website are in some form of Who's Who.

"Mars keeps throwing stuff at us"
Ars Technica just reported that the Mars Rover had photographed a stone in its immediately vicinity that wasn't in the same space 12 (Martian) days earlier. It's showing its bottom side and looks like a jelly donut, with a reddish spot in the center. It could have come from some geological action but most likely was flipped out of its position, where it had been resting for several billion years, by passage of the Rover's wheels. A steering actuator that turns a wheel left or right is broken on Opportunity. When the vehicle turns, the wheel skids along the surface, possibly kicking up debris. "Mars keeps throwing stuff at us," said lead Rover scientist Steve Squyres of Cornell at a Rover anniversary event last week.

Re: Any Life on Mars Came from Earth!
@BabuR162: What you seem to be suggesting is that if the mathematics is correct then life originated by divine intervention. Please suggest an experiment whereby the divinity or divinities can be discovered. Be very, very specific in laying out the procedure since we sincerely want the experiment to succeed.
