So have I actually.
But yes, I agree that its down to probability, which is what makes it all naive. What is the probability that the picture on the front of The Sun is of a tiny, 2 inch high martian??? Not very high. And yes we have people here saying its "defiantely" either a humanoid or a "statue" because thats what they been told that it looks like.
Actually I agree, for once, that the image in question MOST LIKELY is just a natural rock formation due to its extremely small size.
With that said, there are many more interesting images posted in this thread, that is much harder to explain in a "rational" way which perhaps you might want to put your opinions on. What about those interesting nozzles shooting out some liquid? or the lakes? even the skeleton head is more than interesting as is very rare to find something as this in nature, though may not be impossible, it is improbable to find something so geometrically correctly shaped as the skull of some being. The mounds are kinda interesting too.
Regarding your statements about Mars most defiently being dead now, well how can you know? You were up there and had a walk around? Somehow I doubt that. So, you should rather say, that you believe it to be dead now. Though evidence shows that it is more possibly alive than dead, due to the growth and different appearance of various biological and botanical looking elements up there that changes through seasons.
As well as many other things.
So, the possibility is that it is either dead when it comes to phyiscal creatures and only got slight botanical sort of life left, or that it got some strange yet unidentified material that seem to be botanical but is not, or that it got both living creatures and botanical life. When it comes to water it is already a fact even stated by NASA themselves, and ICE and snow is existing on both poles, with what seems like liquid water around at its melting points just like here on earth (sorry dont have time to find a referance image to show you what i mean right now)
In additionan, personally I am in the disposal of an image from Mars, that shows what clearly looks like some lizard inside a crushed urn of some type, in other words two signs of life placed together (the lizard, and whomever crated the urn it is inside) which was taken by one of the Mars rovers. Also other anomalies is present on this image such as an interesting and strange metallic looking object. I still have no possibility to post this image as I am not currently at my home, nor do I have access to the harddrive they are saved on, but as soon I get to it I will post that and other images I personally gathered from NASAs own servers.
