Its quitescary you talking about your self in the 3rd person in some of your posts lol.

Why so agressive, vincent?

There dosent seem to be any point in paying to send your name into space, its like "hey i cant explore the ocean depths so i'll just write my name on a rock and throw it into the sea", and anyhow hey might just writev it on a dvd which defeats the point even further.

I personally highly doubt that the colonised planets and moons of the solar system could be brought under a single goverment, this would be a place where travel takes weeks to months between plantes and other bits, where communication has lags of upto hours, its very likely that all colonised worlds after they reach a population threshold they will splinter from what ever put them there.

I (and most sane people) doubt theres life in mars "as we know it", there could be bacteria living in some sort of water/peroxide mix.

but sentient life is highly unlikely, for more than one reason, first there is no vegetation, which mean it would be chemosynthetic, but this would bring limited energy resources but may allow underground water filled caves to support bacteria colonies and at most some sort of minor lifeform like small insects, worms or fishes sort of thing but i cant see how such enviroment if it exist would provide the evolutionary drive towards sentient beings and even so if it where gona happen their population would be too low and would build any surface structures, but finally its crazy to think about intelligent life there.

id say you would have a better chance by trying europa.

A space shield infront of the planet still seems the best bet to decrease the venusian temperature.

Im sorry terraformer, but we cant agree on that topic.

(oh by the way i did not lose, i was winning)

Actually you are wrong, the edge of the pre cambrian and the cambrian age are arbitriary regarding, they do not mean sudently everything was one way and then instantly changed, they in reality merge by a few tens of millions of years, and the cambrian vertebrates would have not appearead early in the age but towards the middle and end, plus becouse of a changing enviroments natural selection accelerated evolution as the organisms that adapt or survive are the only ones able to pass on their genome.

So how would you defend ID?

And remember dont take opinions as fact, things that seem may seem unlikely to you can infact be true as many things over the years that where seen as unlikely have become true.

Plus they way you assume in creating life as above is unlikely it would have happened in earth, first you say earthlike conditions but when life formed he earth was far from earthlike with a hot thick CO2, methane and  water vapour.

Second amino acids are common in the universe (eg: comets), which by the aid of phosphates from salts could have joined togeather to form early RNA (dna would have come much later), those RNA molecules may ave formed some sort of self relicating ribosome (there are examples or ribosomes with quite few bases able to reproduce themselfs).

And anyway life did not evolve into larger forms billions of years latter when the early self replicating molecules could evolve by simple mutations into larger and more complex form (obviously some mutations would have failed).

i thought you were asking an unbiased question.

OMG there no question about it, evolution.

ID is just some convoluted shit which by no mean can call it self science.

Before choosing a mix of alloy in such a manner there needs to be rigorous material testing and differences as little as 0.1% could mean the difference between a flexible or brittle material.

And ties is something that would need to be tested out in a lab, plus from the blend characteristics this sounds more like a ceramic than metal, in other words a dopped glass from the high silicon and oxygen ratio.

The manganese and silicon content does make it sound similar to the Spiegel iron athough theres way to much oxygen and the ratios are too diferent to suggest similar properties.
