Ribose, Phosphate, Mars and the Origin of Life
Origin of life researchers are getting desperate. By saying that life may have originated in outer space and then found its way to Earth ("panspermia") and then evolved, they are only pushing back the question and making things worse. Not only do they push the problem out into space, they have to postulate a believable model of how it arrived through space, survived the trip through our atmosphere and so on.
And yet, they're saying that life may have arisen on Mars, even though there is no chance of life there. Some postulate that we are all actually Martians.
There are contradictory papers about life originating on Mars, and they are stymied by RNA, phosphates, ribose and water. All of these desperate attempts to explain away the Creator lead to serious facepalm responses.

You can read the rest at "Mars Panspermia a Sign of Desperation"A second article proposes life began on Mars, prompting some observers to point out the failures of naturalistic origin-of-life theories.After Steven Benner proposed Mars for the origin of ribose last month (“You Are Not a Martian,” 8/28/13), Christopher Adcock (U of Nevada) pointed out another problem with Earth-based life: phosphate doesn’t dissolve readily in water here (see New Scientist and Space.com). Since Martian phosphates dissolve more readily, maybe life originated on Mars. New Scientist was quick to point out a contradiction:Both studies have brought renewed attention to the idea that life on Earth was seeded from space, a theory known as panspermia. However, they can’t both be right. One idea requires Mars to be covered in liquid water, while the other needs it to be as dry as a desert.
