It's possible, but he appears to be quite thorough and seems to have done a range of analyses into amino acid & elemental composition and isotope ratios that make it unlikely that they're contaminants. The early commentaries are actually quite interesting to go through and raise important issues. Comment 3 raises a good point: Edit: No idea why the text is so small, here's the link: http://journalofcosmology.com/Life101.html#4 "But the variety and complexity of chemical interactions over the unknown, potentially 4 billion year history of these meteorites leaves room for an as yet unidentified inorganic process which could have created them. For example, just last month in the journal Nature, similar filamentous structures have been explained by non-biological processes (Marshall et al., 2011)." |
Fair enough, I haven't had time to read much into it so far because I'm at University, so I've only read two online articles. I'll have a look at the actual research a bit later. That was my response from reading the two articles.
