Episode 30: NASA Finds Message From God on Mars (Hoax)

Hey guys, I know I haven't posted anything since February this year and I'm not sure I have the time to resume posting on this blog consistently, but I stumbled on something that I just have to share. You've already read the title of this post, so I'm just going to copy and paste the news exactly as I have seen it on several other websites. I searched for an official source but even on http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/news/whatsnew/, I didn't find anything relating to this news. Here's a picture of NASA's Curiosity Rover, and after the picture is the exact article, word for word, that I have found on several websites.
EDIT: Apparently, the news originated from dailycurrant.com, a site that posts satirical news. In other words, it was just a hoax. You can still read the original post below, but keep in mind that it's not true.

NASA announced today that its Curiosity Rover has found an unambiguous message from God written on tablets in a Martian cave.
According to an official press release two giant stone slabs the size of small elephants were located deep inside a cavern abutting Aeolis Mons, a large mountain.
Upon one tablet is a copy of the Ten Commandments and the text of John 3:16 written in 12 languages – including English, Spanish, Chinese, Basque and Hebrew. On the other tablet is a simple message in English reading “I am real.”
According to top scientists who have studied the discovery extensively, these findings may have definitively established Christianity as the one true religion.
“This is amazing,” says Syms Covington, an Australian researcher working for NASA’s Mars Exploration Program. “We went into the cave looking for water, and we found proof of God’s existence instead.
“I mean how else did those tablets get there? I can tell you one thing: there’s not a single atheist inside NASA’s control room now. What we saw was jaw-dropping.”
Genesis 1:1
NASA’s Curiosity rover arrived on Mars in August of last year with a mission to explore the Martian climate and geology for signs for habitability.
Thus far the mission has been a success, with the discovery of an ancient seabed and chemicals needed for life suggesting that Mars was once suitable for life.
However the tablets, both of which are signed “Peace and Love – Yahweh,” represent the rover’s most significant find to date, and is perhaps the most important scientific event in history.
“When people find out about this, they will demand change in our society,” explains a political scientist at Georgetown University. “Democracy will have to give way to theocracy. We’re gonna have to build more churches and reintroduce prayer into schools. Abortion is defiantly going to be illegal within a few months.”
Despite its potential significance, Covington fears that the Earth-shattering discovery may not make the impact it should.
“Unfortunately, the mainstream media is so anti-Christian, they might not even pick up this story,” he explains. “But God is real. We have proof. And everyone deserves to hear the truth.”

  4. I don't believe this nonsense, and why are they only finding out that GOD exists now? Previous scientists couldn't find it and they just happened to stumble across it, how stupid are we...!

  8. If this were true the governments of the world would lose more control. I cannot see letting this out to the public. " No no, the object that crashed in Roswell was just a weather baloon" NASA has found much on mars, and "they" have no intention of showing it to us. Now go back to sleep and pay no attention to the man behind the curtain---------of lies.
