The following is a portion of a message I received defining the fear of
a negative impact upon the Christian meme resulting from the possible
discovery of life on Mars. It may be of interest/amusement to extropians.

It's just so obvious, in fact, it proves that the anti-Chirst is on the
way; isn't the Bible just amazing, gee whiz. Notice, the attempt to turn
evidence against biblical B.S. into evidence for it: the Big Lie 101, or
Memetic Preservation 101.
