An idea that just keeps popping up.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-23872765

Quote:Life may have started on Mars before arriving on Earth, a major scientific conference has heard.

New research supports an idea that the Red Planet was a better place to kick-start biology billions of years ago than the early Earth was.

The evidence is based on how the first molecules necessary for life were assembled.

I read the title and thought this was going to be another Koolay post.

Okay, just because life happened on Mars first doesn't mean that all life came from Mars. Life could have happened in more than one place and not even been related to each other. Y'know?

The idea is when life first appeared on earth, environment on earth could support life, but didn't appear to be capable of facilitating important steps that would be needed to create life. But environment on mars at the same time appeared to be both capable of supporting life and facilitating these important steps required to create life.

It is possible life arose more than once. But molecular evidence strongly suggest all life that exists on earth today did inb fact have one single common origin, or at most two extremely similar and closely related origins in the same environment. There is no evidence the first life on earth was not of the same origin as all life that exists on earth today.

This is why it is proposed that critical steps in facilitaing creation of life on earth must have taken place on Mars, and life on earth came from Mars.

Oh god, you atheists are so dumb. Tell me, geniuses, if life began on Mars... why aren't we GREEN?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

Man didn't you hear we ditched the roots and evolved the chlorophyll out and were left with multi-color skin.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

I guess at this time all there is, is circunstantial evidence, creatards thrive on that, Funny that the standards of evidence they apply to their god is rather flimsy.

Bottom line: late bronze age knowledge > modern knowledge. That is what most of them think.
