Mars ‘died’ when it lost its magnetosphere after about 1.5 billion years (this is coincidentally roughly about the same time life arose on Earth). It’s rather silly to claim that this is somehow an argument for special creation or fine tuning - Mars never had a chance.
It’s kind of like saying that the horse you bet on is magical, because all of the other horses died at the starting gate.

It was in response to the claim life adapts to the environment. If it did the changing atmosphere of Mars shouldn't have mattered. At the point the only planet we can say life adapted to is earth. Its seems scientists are very upbeat about the prospect of finding life. They know the ingredients for life are abundant thanks to fortuitous laws of physics.
