An obvious question would be, "Why wouldn't God just form life on Mars, as opposed to relying on blasting it there from Earth?"

It was only noted from Kenneth Nealson of the NASA Astrobiology Institute, "We think there's about 7 million tons of Earth soil sitting on Mars." This news was sweet-music to Mr. Ranganathan, as now he had a biblical answer for the day scientists possibly announce the discovery of Martian microbes.

The textbook for Biological studies at Bob Jones University is titled Biology for Christian Schools. It is truly not a resource on biological studies for the simple fact that on the first page it is quoted, "If [scientific] conclusions contradict the Word of God, the conclusions are wrong, no matter how many scientific facts may appear to back them." It also states, "Christians must disregard [scientific hypotheses or theories] that contradict the Bible." Instead the book is only a guide on how to turn a blind eye to progressive mentality, and factual information.
