As it turns out, I had in "martian geomorphology" rather than "Mars geomorphology" and it produced some 10,400 results.

Oh for criminy's sake.

Have you tried looking in an actual scientific journal instead of Googling? Is real research dead?

Try the magazine Icarus, or some other planetary/geology journal.

A.DIM: I'm amazed someone could claim "at least" as much symmetry as "the face" while others would accept Garvin's story about Middle Butte as some sort of scientific comparison.
Why? Frankly the so-called "face" isn't particularly symetrical. There is virtually nothing exceptional about it that suggests it is anything but a mundane martian butte.

Talk about grasping for straws here. In 1976, we have a butte that sort of appears to have a "face." Nearly 30 years later we have multiple images with significant better resolution and it no longer appears at all like a "face." So instead, "face" fanatics claim "well it kinda looks symmetrical" as if that's something exceptional and then run around like idiots whining about cover-ups.

Of course, what makes the "cover-up" assertion truly ridiculous is that the people making these silly claims are using the very images made public by NASA in the first place. To be blunt and somewhat out of patience...only an idiot would claim that NASA is covering up the very image that idiot just got off a NASA website.

After 21 pages, I've had enough.

A.DIM, Outcast, you have been making the same circular arguments for weeks now, with nothing new. When presented with new arguments, you simply dismiss them, and as I point out in the post above, you are researching this on the web instead of where the real work is published, the journals.

And in the end Nereid has the best point: Outcast you have yet to say what is clear evidence of artificiality. Both of you have danced around this. That's got both of you on thin ice for banning.

So I will be very clear. I will not allow further discussion about this until the idea of what constitutes artificiality is discussed. Until that is resolved, this argument will never end.

But this thread will. Locked.
