Sorry to have to say this bit your chat in this thread is just sooo way off the mark that it's odd. The full implications of their announcement is that in the organism isolated that arsenic can replace phosphorous in the DNA helix of this bacteria. As a molecular biologist this is an astounding observation which does have many implcations for evolution and molecular biology. It's has nothing to do with how many aliens Are out there but shows a vivid light on the preconceptions that we hold for where life may eventuate and evolve.

but the NASA release was being put in the "search for life" arena surely this type of release is going to generate this type of debate, and so it should without debate and questioning of science ideas, how can we get new idea's and different views to solve the original questions.

You can't say because it hasn't been found yet it doesn't exist that is illogical

So everything in my imagination has the potential to being true because it hasn't been found yet? that's illogical to me.

LIfe could evolve and adapt in many harsh enviroments as has been seen from examples on Earth where life has formed, who is too say that life could not evolve in similar conditions elsewhere.

I agree 100% with this, BUT the onus is with SCIENCE to prove life is out there because all the data SCIENCE has now is NIL evidence for it. The above is based on your own egotistic world view, and every human on earth has there own, me included, its not a debate to find out who is right. Its to base the truth of the matter with the real data science has.
All I'm trying to say that the whole search for life in the universe is the same as looking for the Loch Ness monster, until we find it
SCIENCE says it doesn't exist.
