Scientifically Speaking, What is Dirt?...

So, the Phoenix found that the "dirt" on Mars is similar to that in your own back yard.
Here's what they had to say: (From CNN.com)

• "It's very typical of the soil here on Earth minus the organics," Kounaves said during a teleconference from Tucson, Arizona...
  

• "This soil clearly has interacted with water in the past," said William Boynton of the University of Arizona, Tucson.

• "There's nothing about it that's toxic."

• "It's very typical of the soil here on Earth minus the organics," Kounaves said during a teleconference from Tucson, Arizona.
• 
  
• "There are a lot of outstanding questions about the composition of the soil..."

I have a question of my own.

1. What is dirt?

According to Richard E. Barrans Jr., Ph.D. (Assistant Director PG Research Foundatin, Darien, IL), "Dirt is made of finely-ground rocks and decayed organic matter. It is actually very complicated stuff."

According to The American Society Of Consulting Arborists, Soil [is] A dynamic natural body composed of mineral and organic materials and living forms in which plants grow.

According to the Virginia Department of Health, Soil [is] A natural body synthesized over time from a mixture of inorganic and organic parent materials, now supporting living plants. Soils with depth have natural horizons (layers) that give them their properties. Such properties include texture, color, structure, and bulk density.

...so what did they find up there? Was it really dirt? I am not trying to nit-pick, but when the definition of soil states that it is composed of organic and inorganic material, and NASA comes out and says that the soil found on Mars is lacking any organic matter, then Houston, we have a problem.
This is the same thing as saying, "we have found a tree on Mars. It has no leaves, branches, roots, bark, or wood in it, but it is essentially just like the tree that you would find in your back yard."

What is soil without organic material? I am guessing that it is rock, crushed rock, and what ever minerals that are indigenous to Mars. That doesn't make it soil though - it makes it rock, crushed rock and minerals.

Isn't it enough that the heavens declare the glory of God? Do we really need to spend billions of dollars trying to prove that He is an awesome God? Look up! All of the drive to find life out there has clouded our vision so much that we can't see the one "out there" who gives life.
...did I mention that God is extra terrestrial? He certainly didn't find His origins here.
Can you imagine what life here on earth would be like if our scientists began setting out to explore the universe and our earth with the intention of showing the public just how complex and amazing the God of Israel is?
