That sounds like magic, should I be surprised that the only person claiming that this is even on the table worships djinn?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

RE: Would theists become atheists if we found lifeform
I'm confused; are we arguing for or against humans being made of atoms, or Mars being so made? And are we seriously basing our conclusion on the fact that the atoms making up either are not making up the other?

Of course, the opther side of the coin would read something along the lines of: if Jinn are made up of atoms that are impossible to detect, does that mean that everything that is impossible to detect is a Jinn? I realise there's an oxymoron lurking in there somewhere. Perhaps the whole Jinn argument needs a tonic.

I smell a sitcom here...
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Djinn and Tonic

It'll be a police comedy, where Tonic is the beat cop fighting crime with the help of his other-dimensional, supernatural but wacky sidekick!!

No?

Congratulations on spotting the hidden joke Wink!

The words "sloe jinn" spring to mind, but that one only works if you say it out loud.

They'd find a new people to evangelize to...
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

What Colanth said was "The same type of atoms that are found on mars (hydrogen, carbon, oxygen) do make up humans." Meaning that Mars and Earth share many common atomic elements, not that atoms from Mars make up atoms on Earth. This is a demonstrably true statement. Before you make an ass of yourself, you should check to make sure you correctly understand what you were responding to.
