life on Mars?

Post Reply New Topic

I honestly believe intelligent life existed on Mars at one time, even if it was thousands of millions of years ago. Consider these facts:
1. a system of canals that are way too detailed to have been made by nature
2. Pyramids on the Martian surface very similar to the pyramids of Egypt
3. Similarities between the Sphinx and the face on Mars, though there is also speculation by some people that the face was a trick of photography and more of a product of the angle of the photo, but this is not a proven fact either.... So the face/sphinx similarity is one that could be debated but it is something to take into account.

I know you're talking about Cydonia (which looks less and less like a face with the more recent, hi-res photos), but there's still alot of unusual and unexplained formations on Mars. Like the crater Galle, for example. Someone or something has a sense of humor:

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

Im sure i read somewhere that a particular aspect of the topography of cydonia corresponds exactly with a region in southern england (Avebury?)

This is silly and seriously detracts from the truly exciting possibility of real life having been on mars at some point, as evidenced by microbial fossils in Mars rocks, and evidence of water on the red planet. These things aren't as sexy perhaps as the thought of an ancient Martian civilization, but but they are awesome discoveries in the real universe!

How do you know for fact that intelligent life didn't ever exist there? Were you there keeping track? I doubt it. There are a lot of indicators to show the possibility that intelligent life might have existed on Mars at some point or another, the canals are likely a good lead to look at because it would be an EXTREME coincidence if nature made those canals THAT detailed.

yep, the face in mars has been proven that it was an optical illusion

I believe that it could be possible that life existed on mars at one point, however I don't think it was intelligent life at all, most likely life could have been limited to microcospic organisms only, I think.

The problem being of course, that the canals you make refrence to don't actually exist. They are optical illusions too.

And even if there was life on Mars, whether it was microbial or intelligent, it sort of blows apart the God-theory that life on Earth was created by him/her/it to be totally unique, and therefore the only life in the universe. That is exactly what some Christians believe.... oh sh*t, now Raggy'll probably turn up with reams out of the bible about Mars as well...

I don't know what kind of intelligent life might have been on Mars.

I do know that some theories state that life on earth could have come from Mars, which, if true, would rule out the possibility of intelligent life on Mars!

Um, who do you think is responsible for building the Grand Canyon? Probably the same guys who made those canals on Mars, eh?

I hope it can be proven that there was life of some sort on Mars, so we can end this God crap already.

Everything in this forum somehow has to go on an Anti-theist rabbit trail.

Not everybody who believes in God is so bad, you guys.

I am really not surprised if there was some form of life, it doesn't take much for basic life.

Well, they are literally insane for putting faith weight on an external force rather than on themselves. It has come to the point where the only thing I can believe in is myself, even though I am a synthesis and at one point I didn't REALLY exist; I still exist now and new facets of my selfness become integrated each day as I adopt new beliefs, attitudes, inclinations and drop others.

I think differently than you. I don't condemn you. Why do you condemn me?

An interesting possibility about life on other worlds is assuming a very similar process to Earth's chemical evolution started there is a 50% chance the sterochemistry will be the reverse. Which means they might not find us edible.

There are at least two moons of Jupiter I think that have the potential for life to day.

They'd never be allowed to admit they found life in public again then, it'd just be another instance of religious zealots in high power with-holding information and knowledge in order to keep their myth alive. Sad, because the ability to someday colonize other un-manifested worlds could be the answer to our over-population problem if we ever had the means.

I agree that earth-like creatures could possibly exist on those moons, but as I've stated, science is flawed in it's assumption that life can't exist on planets unsuitable for us. Life on earth evolved and adapted over billions of years to our atmosphere, who is to say something couldn't have evolved and adapted to a **different** atmosphere? One in which we wouldn't survive? What if they can't survive in ours either?
We've got evidence to this already just on earth alone. There are sea creatures, and there are land creatures. We can't breath water, but fish can't breath oxygen either. Evolution fits the species with the proper components to survive in it's surroundings.
