user posted imageTHE Martians are not coming - they've probably already arrived on earth. And we could be their descendants.Two Australian scientists have developed new technology to confirm claims by NASA that a meteorite from Mars found in Antarctica in 1984 contained microscopic fossils from the red planet. Scientists have fiercely debated whether the ancient, microscopic compounds were deposited by ancient bacteria or natural chemical reactions - and whether such bacteria was Martian or moved in after the meteorite fell to earth. But biophysicist Dr Tony Taylor from the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO) in Sydney and the University of Queensland's Professor John Barry devised a new technique which they say affirms the Martian microbe theory "beyond reasonable doubt". Dr Taylor said the research raised intriguing questions about the origins of life on Mars and its planetary neighbour, Earth, and whether meteorites could have seeded living organisms through space. Dr Taylor said the ancient fossil fragments were dated to 3.95 billion years old. The meteorite was found on top of the polar ice, but Dr Taylor said the bacteria could not have formed on earth in such sub-zero temperatures.

"The carbonate (residue from bacteria) and obviously all of the materials of the fossils inside it were all formed on Mars and definitely could not have been produced here on Earth," Dr Taylor said. "The fossils pre-date any fossil evidence of life on this planet. "So it demonstrates quite clearly that there was life on Mars before there was life on Earth.

Hmm..very interesting...
<bleeding_heart>
Well if we came from there! We know there's very little chance of intelligent life on Mars then whistling2.gif

Very cool! thumbsup.gif

So if our life started from a meteorite that came from mars, just imagine if mars didn't die, and was covered with life now? possibly other intelligent life?

What if we find traces of ancient civilizations when we go there? The face, just one part of a massive statue? We must travel at once!

Well, I thought that its pretty weird. Thinking that we might have started from some bacteria from mars. And then evolution took over through out the years until we are what we are today...

whadda mean other intellegent life? there aint any on earth or mars!
scientists are blind
well obviously somebody was there once because there is clearly man made structures there(face, pyramids) thumbsup.gif
smallpackage
Well they think that its natural...and there are no reports of pyramids on mars... rolleyes.gif
Skela
Em, yes there are... tongue.gif though they try to hide it... some pictures close by the face show structures arranged like the Great Pyramids... In addition you could see stairways from top to bottom. (If its not an illusion or some computer geek having fun with photoshop (even though I saw em in a documentary) those stairways and pyramids must be enourmous, the stairways incredibly wide))

PUH-LEAZE!

We are suppose to believe that these bactieria or whatever survived all that time in the vaccum of space AND the fiery entry into earth? disgust.gif

Meanwhile bacteria cannot form on earth under sub-zero temperatures..... wacko.gif

Am I missing something here????? whistling2.gif

omg... I just had a funny idea... okay dont bash mr.Bible its just a idea.... the Bible states the earth was created in 8-9 days right? what if life DID come from mars, BUT mars had a larger orbit or the sun was larger itself to provide the heat required... then perhaps it was being referred to that the earth was created in 8-9 martian days? just a idea tongue.gif, as in billions of years or over long periods of time...... w00t.gif or perhaps life originated on some other planet?
Skela
Antarctica wasnt always cold u know...

But I agree... It doesnt make sence... I think life evolved on both planets, but in different forms. Lets just go and take a peak, if there ever were life on mars (or still is) We'll find traces of it sleep.gif grin2.gif

uh...bacteria..from mars? = evidence.... whistling2.gif

thats irrelevant because the meteorite was found in the ice layer (as far as i know)

By that same arguement, I guess since we dig up fossils, then whatever created them must have been underground when it died tongue.gif

But I'll agree...I don't hold to the theory that life origonated on mars...however, I'm not going so far as to say it's not a possibility. However, I definately believe that the 'face' on mars, and the pyramids, are natural formations cast in a certain light...if life on mars ever reached a level of development to actually build structures, I think we'd see more evidence of it than a giant face, and a few pyramid like structures, with no ruined towns, cities, or quick-i-marts tongue.gif

Yes, I know it was found in the ice on Antarctica, but how long has it been there?
