are grouped with the paranormal.

One massive complaint is their example of the scientific process.

Nope.

A hypothesis explains the evidence AND is the basis for predictions.

These predictions are subject to scientific experimentation.

IT'S THESE PREDICTIONS WHICH CAN BE FALSIFIED!  The experimentation,
if it fails to produce the predicted result, FALSIFIES the
hypothesis.

NOTE:  This is why Gwobull Warbling is fake. DECADES of falsified
predictions yet the conclusions are still clung to like a drowning
man holding a life preserver...

Now, the "Science" they describe tries to "Prove" alternative
explanations for the evidence of life on Mars -- explanations that
do not require life. They failed. These alternatives they tested
were falsified, or so the video tells us. That those can't possibly
"Prove" that there's life on Mars. To do that you need to make
some "Sound Scientific Inferences," i.e. predictions, and then test
THOSE!

NOTE II:  I'm on record stating that NASA isn't looking for life
on Mars. Or they're lying to us. And you know this for a fact because
I just told you, of course...

Okay, so NASA actually stated that they were avoiding the areas they
viewed as most likely to support life. Their reasons, as they explained,
was that they were afraid of contaminating those places with life from
earth that maybe clung to the rover. "Contamination." KEEP THIS IN MIND.

NASA's optics can't see most bacterial life on earth, and it it can't
possibly see the structures in the famous "Mars Rock" that are believed
by many to be fossilized life.

Put the two together -- avoiding places most likely to support life
right now, optics that can't see the vast majority of earth microbes --
and either NASA isn't searching at all, or they're searching for
something very specific.

Go back to NASA's excuse for avoiding the most promising locations:

They're worried about seeding them with earth contamination on the
rovers.

Ive got news for you:  We are *Way* better at decontaminating our
space missions today than we were in the past, and we're not really
great at it today. So if it is an issue now, earth contamination, it
has been an even bigger issue over the past 60 years or so...

Look. Even missions never intended to land on Mars were likely
sources of contamination. How? SOME WERE LOST! For all we know they
crashed on Mars!  And if they were a lot worse at decontaminating
their vehicles back then than we are now, and we're not great at it
now, there is a very real possibility that Mars has been contaminated.

What do you do?

Well you assume that Mars has been contaminated. So if we want Mars
life, what we really need to find is NOT microbial life but macrobial.

If we found something large enough to see with NASA's shitty optics,
that points to indigenous life.  If we found multicellular life, that
would be VERY powerful evidence! But, also...

If we found FOSSILIZED life, that would point towards indigenous
life on Mars... the older the better.

The older the life, the more complex, the stronger the case for
indigenous life... A SEPARATE ORIGINS!

Well. Not really. We couldn't rule out a Martian origins for life
on earth, now could we?  A volcanic eruption or asteroid strike
could have sent life bearing material hurling towards earth... Mars
could have seeded the earth!
