Is Science Ready to Proclaim Life on Mars?

Is Science Ready to Proclaim Life on Mars?

January 15, 2009 By Sam Sloan 2 Comments

According to news.com.au NASA scientists will be announcing Thursday that they may have proof there is life on Mars.

The scientists think that evidence shows alien microbes could be alive and flourishing quite will just below the Martian, after large quantities of what is suspected be organic waste products were detected.

The organisms — called methanogens — are suspected to have been living in water beneath underground ice, where they are disgorging tons and tons of methane.

On Earth, methane is produced in massive quantities by animals such as cows, sheep and goats, as well as by geological processes.

Giant telescopes from Earth and NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter have spotted a haze of the gas surrounding Mars, and according to some scientists this can only point to the presence of life on Mars.

“Methane is a product of biology,” British Mars expert Professor Colin Pillinger told the London tabloid The Sun Wednesday night.

Since The Sun is one of the sources for this story…..the jury could still be out on the feasiblity of life on Mars.

    It’s so obvious that Mars was a living breathing planet at one time, the sciguys pretty much say so now. I believe thats where some of our own dna came from! When they realized that their moon was going to crash into the planet they sent people to colonize earth, but for some reason they weren’t able to propagate here, so picking out the best of the humanoid’s available here they infused some of thier dna into our ancestors, and well fact is a culture sprang up here on earth that was as if from nowhere.Knowledge of astronomy and originat written language and agriculture, so much given to us by them. We were thier only way of keeping some part of thier selfs alive. The very myths and legends speak of them, the old gods. Who were merely technically advanced mars folk! We are all Martian/Human…..

    demarreis wow.. .just wow. I haven’t seen that kind of out and out lunacy since someone reached up to their forehead and pulled a thought bubble out and tried to hand it to me.

    Why is it so hard to believe that humanity has developed on its own and figured things out without the aid of aliens from other planets? No culture ‘appeared as if from nowhere’ with such knowledge. They figured it out.

    All evidence points, not to advanced alien martian culture creating or influencing humanity but rather to you being a blathering lunatic.

    Sorry if this seems harsh, but there’s nothing worse than when someone hooks up a firehose to their brain and sprays crazy all over the place.
