Martian life denialism is a hate crime

Reminder that Mars is teeming with life
>The scientists believe they have spotted fossilised sponges, corals, worm eggs, algae, fungi, lichen, shrimp, crabs, sea spiders, scorpions, the tell-tale green glow of living cyanobacteria, and yes, even a translucent millipede, on the surface.
>In the last month, a group of like-minded researchers have published four peer-reviewed papers in journals setting out their reasoning for believing proof of life is already there. The papers can be found at the bottom of this article.
>“We have photos of fungi growing out of the ground, increasing in size, increasing in number, as based on sequential images,” said Dr Rudolph Schild of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, speaking on behalf of the researchers.
>One of the new papers, published in Applied Cell Biology, argues that semi-transparent cocoon-like eggs have been spotted, less than a millimetre in diameter with a single hole at one end, some of which appear to have “non identifiable specimens” exiting and entering.

>Is it a millipede, or a rock? The ‘evidence’ we’ve already found life on Mars

>Group of academics say they have identified fossilised sponges, corals, worm eggs, algae and more on planet's surface

>“We have photos of fungi growing out of the ground, increasing in size, increasing in number, as based on sequential images,” said Dr Rudolph Schild of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, speaking on behalf of the researchers.
>He added: “We have published photos of cyanobacteria growing. We have photos of an unusual specimen that may have been in a hole and two days later is outside the hole. Is that proof?
>One of the new papers, published in Applied Cell Biology, argues that semi-transparent cocoon-like eggs have been spotted, less than a millimetre in diameter with a single hole at one end, some of which appear to have “non identifiable specimens” exiting and entering.
>All the authors of the recent papers are convinced that fossil evidence proved life once existed on Mars, although not all are in agreement there are still multiple lifeforms thriving today.
