About That Life From Other Planets….:Everyday Magic, Day 228

In a nutshell, there is evidence that some meteorites contain evidence of life beyond earth, but this evidence hasn’t yet been vetted by the larger scientific community and it comes from disgruntled scientists who are overstating their research to make a case for more Mars exploration funding.

I push my students to cultivate critical writing and thinking skills — to not just take things on face value without looking closely at who the authors are and where they want you to land — and so I guess I needed to take more of my own advice. At the same time, I do lean toward faith, intuition, what we feel in our bodies that tells us something is true or not, and from that perspective, I still believe we will see the evidence one day, and hopefully soon, that the universe pulses with life.
