That's great, Ted, but the formation of the solar system (and the entire universe) is a matter independant of evolution.

Not really, particularly in this case. It's the basic evolutionist requirement for millions and billions of years which is the problem. The first thing which scientists would normally do would be to try to claim that Mars was somehow habitable 10 or 200 million years ago ( per their instinct wrt evolution) and that might be workable (to them at least) IF the images those probes were bringing back were those of total aliens with eight eyes, horns, and tails. Nonetheless, the images we see are definitely human so that they'd be trying to claim that monkeys got to Mars 10 million years ago and evolved into humans, and that's too much even for them.

Evolution is part of a larger doctrine called uniformity or uniiformitarianism, which posits that changes in biological and geological forms take place slowly over vast expanses of time via processes which we observe now, and that doctrine clearly cannot coexist with the notion of finding a destroyed human civilization on Mars, or 2100' below the waves off Cuba either, for that matter.

"Nonetheless, the images we see are definitely human"
Which images might those be? The so-called face? Have you seen that same formation at a different angle? with different lighting? Of cousrse YOU haven't..that would not fit into your theory, so therefor it doesn't exsist.
I guess you don't believe that we ever landed on the moon either? That the space shuttle is just a big Testor model?
