Though it may be hard to swallow, Hoover is convinced that his findings reveal fossil evidence of bacterial life within such meteorites, the remains of living organisms from their parent bodies -- comets, moons and other astral bodies. By extension, the findings suggest we are not alone in the universe, he said.
He and the editors of the Journal of Cosmology have a lot to learn about science:
Knowing that the study will be controversial, the journal invited members of the scientific community to analyze the results and to write critical commentaries ahead of time. Though none are online yet, those comments will be posted alongside the article, said Dr. Rudy Schild, a scientist with the Harvard-Smithsonian's Center for Astrophysics and the editor-in-chief of the Journal of Cosmology.
Sheesh. Inviting criticism and commentary? What, are they new to this game? Just claim the science is settled; mock skeptics as mere knuckle-dragging deniers; make up a model about how these life forms could have evolved into higher beings with star travel and weapons capabilities; and start raking in cash by claiming if we don't start to do something--what they say we should do--now to stop the potential alien invasion, we'll be roasted (or flash frozen) by ravenous invading aliens.
