Startling footage from Mars!

At a press conference this morning, the European Space Agency revealed startling pictures from Mars, taken by its rover Geronimo. The pictures show rocks with what experts call "an uncanny resemblance to human-made statues." The amazing footage has drawn the attention of a group called Cosmic Dawn, who claims that the photos prove the existence of intelligent life in space.

Scientists from ESA describe the group, which believes that aliens will one day bring worldwide peace, as religiously motivated. "These people claim that the odds of natural forces shaping these rocks are just too small," says Dr. Knut Rackne, astro-meteorologist at ESA. "Unlikely events happen all the time. Just imagine the odds of your parents meeting each other out of all the people in the world. Yet here you are!"

Most scientists agree with Dr. Knut Rackne. A statement issued by the American Association for the Advancement of Science makes it clear that "without evidence of a designer, no scientific model [of design]" can be formulated. "Besides," adds ESA janitor Lurgöyf Gunnarfsson, "who designed the designer?"

    In order to put an end to this controversy, scientist Kant Muller researched and published a paper demonstrating a step by step and testable pathway leading to self-construction of the statue. The religiously motivated group objected that the proposed model is far from being testable and is totally imaginary. "if Muller's model is testable why doesn't he demostrate it in front of our eyes" said leader of the religiously motivated group.

    Muller responded that the natural conditions on earth are totally different than Mars, that's why he can't test and demonstrate validity of his paper.
    "I need at least 10 tons of Mars soil and 1000 m3 of its atomsphere to be able to run the experiment here" said Muller.

    Refusing to be ignored, Dr. C. R. Darkins proclaimed the object in question could not have been designed, because, "…after all, it's obviously imperfect. I mean, just look at that nose."
