I think this can be dispelled in one point: #1 Don't make a final judgement based on ONE picture. We've all seen the optical illusion photos on the internet. The very angle of the picture made our mind see it a different way. In this case it's MOST likely that it ("the squirrel") is a rock that looks like a squirrel at that angle in that lighting at that poor of a resolution (if you magnified the image as the commentator in the video did). I would like to see the "squirrel" from multiple angles. And you'd think (at least a logical person would) that the "squirrel" would leave tracks. I didn't see any of that, only an idiot in a video that jumped to conclusions without any conclusive evidence. Even if a person believes in evolution, why would they think that life would evolve the same on Mars as on Earth?

First off I have a degree in StraightupBullshit and have studied the picture from Mars the man claims has a squirrel in it and here are my findings: If you blow up the pic really big and use a program like Windows Paint to enhance the pixalation and make a series of lines and smudges it becomes clear that it is between 15 and 18 Native American Indians on horseback chasing a large Bison (notice the the dust rising from the hoofs) (If you cant see it you didn't smudge enough) These Native American hunters are ultimately successful in their hunt (I have the sequel on DVD). This is a classic example of how your imagination can create something and if you have not been sleeping good . . .well you get the Idea . .lmao I need to get some sleep . . . . .

I don't get out and hunt much any more, just enjoy dealing with the beautiful artifacts that I have and teaching others about them. Sounds like you have a great spot there. Most archaeologists have more places to dig than they have time to dig them. There are numerous locations here in Montana that we have found Arrowheads and scrapers for skinning animals while out hiking or fishing. I admit I find myself looking for artifacts more than before. It seems like the more you find the more you want to look. On a flight from Billings to Salt Lake City I sat next to a man that was working on documenting a recent dinosaur discovery. He was kind enough to answer my my kids (10 and 12 yr olds) questions and when we landed he asked for our address and sent us a fossil of a dinosaur bone needless to say I was "stoked" . .oh and the kids were excited too . . lol I would like to check out your collection LOM . . fascinating stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
