[meteorite-list] NASA Sued Over "Jelly Doughnut"

[Paul H.]

The silly season is again upon us with another 
lawsuit has been filed over extraterrestrial lifeforms.
This time it is not over an extraterrestrial lifeform 
in a so-called "meteorite," but over a rock, called
the "Jelly Doughnut" recently photographed by the 
rover Opportunity. It is  discussed in “Astrobiologist” 
sues NASA, says Mars  rock a “mushroom-like 
fungus” ArsTechnica, Janary 29, 2014 at:

And "Alien life on Mars? NASA lawsuit seeks more 
information on Red Planet rock." Russia Today News

The text of the lawsuit is in “Rhawn Joseph sues NASA” at 
http://www.scribd.com/doc/202863315/NASA-Lawsuit

This is not the first time that he has sued NASA as 
seen in "[Utah-astronomy] Fw: NASA Served With 
Lawsuit By Rhawn Josep…" at:

On page 6, it is stated:

" 21. In 2011, Petitioner published a genetic analyses 
of DNA evolution, beginning with the first life forms 
to take up residence of Earth, and was able to trace 
the evolution of DNA to over 10 billion years into the 
past, 6 billion years before Earth was formed."

This reminds me of an article discussed in:

before Earth existed by Bob Yirk, PHysOrg, April 18, 2013

One of the sources that this article cites is an earlier 
article by Rhawn Joseph. This article is:
