Scientific Religion
Scientists are still trying to find evidence of life on Mars. Long ago, they gave up looking for anything beyond microbes but belief persists that there still might be residue left in rocks of the planet. So, they keep looking, drilling and heating samples with the robotic rover there. It is akin to scientific religion that life must have started in numerous planets throughout billions of galaxies. All the scientists must do is to find one, just one. So far, nothing has shown up or been proven to be incontrovertible evidence of former life. Now that a new telescope is in space, they will look for planets in goldilocks zones around distant stars. The message their fruitless search is sending is for all practical purposes we are alone on earth, so we had better take care of it. There is nowhere else to go.
