He said that the "biomorphs" now being found could answer some of the basic questions about life on Mars and that it could be done at a much lower cost than the multibillion-dollar alternative plan -- sending a rover to Mars to pick up some rock samples and bringing them back to Earth.

The resultant forms (which can begin to look like plants and bugs) are called "biomorphs," visual representations of a set of genes. yeah, I'm afraid I'm with qvantamon - this would be a particularly inappropriate example to use to argue against the ID loons, since in effect you get to be the designer by choosing which of the patterns to click.

The other eight biomorphs disappear from the screen, the chosen one glides to the centre, and ‘spawns’ eight new mutant ‘children’.
