“Mars is very dynamic,” said Head, lead author of one of the Nature reports. “We see that the climate change and geological forces that drive evolution on Earth are happening there.”

But, but I thought only humans caused climate change.

The more we learn, the harder it is to reconcile our earlier ignorance.

Sometimes people just HAVE to change their view of things.

"Little green men" never were.

In a poll taken at a European Space Agency conference last month, 75 percent of scientists believe bacteria once existed on Mars and 25 percent believe it might still survive there.

HMmmm...

I wonder what 'percentage' of these 'scientists' are firmly in the Evolution camp??

Women and minorities hurt worse......Of course, it's Bush's fault

[ALOHA RONNIE]

President BUSH has promised,
as America's best self defense...
against future terrorist attacks...
here at home,

Freedom's return to:

Communist Vietnam
Communist North Korea &
Communist Cuba


as well as


Freedom's arrival to:

The entire Middle East


...as he aims us back to the surface of Earth's Moon and then on to the Planet Mars early in this century.

Bringing those still living in the 7th Century A.D. here on Earth...

...along for the ride.


Amazing times, these,

...simply Amazing..?

Amazing photo. Nice mudflow.

Let's see, in the 70's it was global cooling and in the 90's global warming! Please somebody make up my mind!

Marsward Ho!!!!

I could not care less about any manned missions to Mars.

I want to know when we will have a robotic rover exploring this specific region of Mars!

How many robotic rovers could we have on this planet, for the cost of a single manned mission? Which would provide the most information?

"Mars is very dynamic," said Head, lead author of one of the Nature reports. "We see that the climate change and geological forces that drive evolution on Earth are happening there."

The only dynamism on Mars is brought about by impacts. Mars hasn't much of an atmosphere, and hasn't ever had much of one, as the size and density of the planet hasn't changed.

The shape and flow of this deposit near a Martian mountain almost 4 km. tall suggests ice-rich glacial movement.

The shape and flow of that deposit shows the result of a temporary microclimate brought on by an impact from space. This is the case all over Mars -- traces of water flow from nowhere to nowhere, caused by the energy of the impacts, which produce a temporary dense local atmosphere making liquid water possible, briefly.

Simply amazing the dated detail they come up with from a few pics.

If there was enough water to cover the planet with *glaciers* that left evidence that they existed, where'd all the water go? Finding *evidence* for what amounts to a large puddle doesn't count. And besides, you really need an atmosphere to have climate. Mars does not have the same conditions on it now that scientists speculate existed on Earth when that mysterious event called biogenesis occurred. It sounds like they are really grasping at straws here hoping that, just maybe, they can find some *evidence* that would support their theories, especially evolution.

[Bean Counter]

Excellent! We continue to get some outstanding science from Mars...

James Head, professor of geological sciences at Brown University

We have worked together at JPL.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

The team also concludes that Mars is in an “interglacial” period.

What a coincidence. So are we.

[RockinRight]

We must do something to reduce CO2 emissions on Mars!!

Scientists also studied images of glacial remnants on the western side of Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the solar system.

If that is not a speculative statement. So they think it is the largest volcano in the solar system. Have they been on every planet, physically to observe this phenomena. Just like those evolutionary scientist to scue the information to look like they know exactly what their talking about. Most of you probably believe that statement without question. Baa Baa

[GOPJ]

Thanks for the ping.

[Creationist]

Discovery of the explosive eruption of Hecates Tholus provides more evidence of recent Mars rumblings. In December, members of the same research team revealed that calderas on five major Mars volcanoes were repeatedly active as little as 2 million years ago. The volcanoes, scientists speculated, may even be active today.

Recent, boy what do they think long ago is? Did they have the camera running 2 million years ago?
Oh wait they new they were active then but speculate now.
The never sure always speculative presumptive assumptions of the scientific community always make it a fact for those who believe in evolution.

I watched a very interesting show on short ice ages this morning. The scientists on the show were predicting that we would have another one, maybe in the near future, but definitely somewhere down the road.

But I thought we mischievous humans were warming the planet.
