| /TI | PROF SKEPTICAL OVER EVIDENCE OF LIFE ON MARS |

| TEXT: | |
| /LP, /TX | When Ed Churchwell was a graduate student in the mid to late 1960s, he |
| shared in the belief, not uncommon in scientific circles, that life was | |
| widespread throughout the universe. | |
| It is a sign of the topic's legitimacy that Churchwell, a UW-Madison | |
| astronomy professor, teaches a class on it. | |
| /TX | Still, the assumption that life is not restricted to Earth has taken a |
| beating. Conclusive evidence remains elusive, and NASA's discovery of signs | |
| that primitive life forms may have existed on Mars 4.5 billion years ago is | |
| being met with skepticism even by the NASA scientific team that made the | |
| announcement last week. | |
| ``This is not the first time people have reported evidence for | |
| extraterrestrial life,'' Churchwell said. ``Even the people who've done | |
| this have said that it's at best circumstantial.'' | |
| Similar hopes were dashed when it was found that Martian soil samples | |
| taken by a Viking probe showed not biological activity, but the mimicking | |
| of it in the red planet's rich chemical environment. | |
| Indeed, the collection of signs the scientists say may indicate life, | |
| such as the rice-shaped micro-fossils inside the 4.5 pound rock, could be | |
| the result of processes that have nothing to do with life, Churchwell | |
| notes. But he is nonetheless intrigued. | |
| ``I think it has a lot of very important implications,'' Churchwell | |
| said. ``First and foremost in my mind, it means that we have evidence for | |
| the first time of a life form that has developed independently of life on | |
| the Earth. It gives the implication that if given the right circumstances, | |
| life will develop very quickly. And it implies that there was a period | |
| where liquid water could and did exist on Mars.'' | |
| Another implication comes to the astronomer's mind: that the timing of | |
| NASA's announcement might have been motivated by more earthbound | |
| considerations of funding and favorable public relations than by proof that | |
| there's life out there. | |
| ``It's an awful hard ballgame to play,'' he said. ``The reason is that | |
| it's not easy to verify these things. From the reports that I've heard so | |
| far, the evidence is fairly circumstantial.'' | |
| In Churchwell's view, definitive proof of life on Mars is not likely | |
| anytime soon. That will have to wait for samples from the future manned or | |
| robotic missions to Mars which are even now being planned. | |
| But he plans to read with interest the paper detailing the NASA | |
| discovery due to come out this Friday. | |
| ``A true believer will believe no matter what. A skeptic is going to | |
| require a lot of proof. I suspect that the guys who did this had to be | |
| pretty sure of themselves to make this kind of a splash. NASA certainly is | |
| going to come out looking very stupid if this turns out to be a complete | |
| falsehood.'' | |
