    I'm disappointed that there hasn't been updates,
    and serious, above-board investigations.

    I mean, they claimed some pretty strong evidence,
    including images.

    What I find most interesting about things like this
    is both the approach (standard of evidence, etc)
    and the implications. One needn't believe a
    meteorite does or does not contain the remains
    of living organisms in order to explore what it
    would mean if, yes, it were accepted as true.

    Again, the chief reason I find this fascinating is that
    it has been a decade and there is precious little on
    the topic.

    I wouldn't want to bad mouth Rudy Schild, who favorably reviewed my thesis for publication
    in the late Middle Ages (1970), but his full-throated defence of Wickramasinghe et. al's junk
    is discordant. Prof W. was Hoyle's collaborator and carried on with the "steady-state" cosmology
    long after it became untenable. A side show of the steady-state theory was panspermia (after all,
    plenty of time was availble for all kinds of unlikely things).

    There seems to have been little or no interest in hunting this snipe by serious researchers, of whom
    JTEM isn't one.

    You talk about people when there's a physical object which can be
    subjected to observations & testing. People are genuinely irrelevant. Personalities can't matter. Status doesn't change anything.

    Do you not even know what science is?

    Honey, science exists to eliminate your type of idiocy; the human
    element of knee jerk, bias & assumptions!

    Honest to God, you're a fucking idiot who chews even when there's
    nothing in your mouth, aren't you?

    That's what I love about stories like this: They expose the rank
    stupidity masquerading as "Science." You're consumed by personality,
    what the status quo dictates... everything but establishing facts and
    then drawing inferences from those facts (a hypothesis).

    So, back to Square-1: Where's the science? Where's the study of the

    You know (speaking rhetorically), "Science."

    "The status quo told me to ignore it."

    A lot of sensible people wait until something convincing is put forward.

    Wrong. You're a lying sack of shit.

    You obey the status quo. In all cases. Even today you denounce the
    physical evidence you could see, the evidence establishing that
    Neanderthals were not a dead end. Even in hindsight you testify that
    you are incapable of seeing it. BECAUSE the status quo told you not
    to. But you believe DNA that you never saw, because the status quo
    told you to.

    Where someone who isn't a fraud would be wanting investigation,
    identifying legitimate tests, offering predictions, you are "Arguing"
    that everyone wait until the are told to believe otherwise.

    So Step-1 is confirming that the evidence is valid. It's
    observing/testing a physical object.

    Step 2 is validating that Step 1 produced useful evidence. Can you find
    any validation that the evidence was what they claimed? Have the

    What is anyone supposed to do with unsubstantiated claims?


    so why should anyone else?

    You need me to explain the concept of reproducibility?

    Reproducibility would be if they could go back to even their original
    piece of meteorite and determine that it wasn't contamination using uncontaminated pieces for analysis.


    You need me to explain to you the significance?

    Significance of what?


    Do you understand how science works?

    Thanks for the irony.

    Just making sure that you do not understand how science works.

    YOU: I don't understand why anyone would want to look at

    Why lie. All anyone wants out of them is confirmation of what they
    claim. It would be great if another lab could reproduce those results.
    Why haven't they bothered to reproduce the results and show everyone how
    it could be done? They claimed to only have worked with a fragment, so
    there should be more to look at.


    It's about evidence, not anyone's opinion on a paper.

    That is the issue. What type of evidence is it?

    You are aware that I did post cites. And so didn't you. Yet your

    Apparently, you can't say what type of evidence it is. It seems to be
    evidence that no one has replicated, nor believes what claims have been
    made about it for the last 10 years.


    Amazing. You are such a fraud! Such a faker!

    You shouldn't mix up things in a post by starting to talk to yourself
    like you do. Do you practice these retorts in the mirror. That might
    explain it.

    Why not describe what you think should have happened by now with this
    great discovery, if the claims are warranted. How far advanced would
    the field be by now, and how would this evidence fit in? Really, what
    would the situation be like and how far advanced from where we are
    currently would the whole field be if this had been a great discovery?
    What did the authors ever do with their evidence? Science works the
    same way for everyone, so if the guys that made the claims haven't been
    able to do anything useful to support the evidence, nor use it to
    develop some viable research program, what does that tell you?
