What would you have thought about Galileo a few hundred years ago Atrocities? And (to the forum), didn't 'they' confirm some chunk of asteroid found in the Arctic had multicellular organisms fossilized within? Probably from an impact with Mars as I recall...

Antarctic it was. And yes that's true, Unfortuantely it isn't reliable evidence due to contamination through Earth's Atmosphere and landing.

I believe NASA's Project Stardust is the next step towards proving this. Check out the FAQ section.
