Life found on Mars?

ALIEN microbes living just below the Martian soil are responsible for a haze of methane around the Red Planet, Nasa scientists believe.

If true...a real date to remember in human history.

Sweet.. but of course, all the news is about Obama’s new tie.

[null and void]

Aw, us Coast-to-Coast listeners have know about life on Mars for years.

[wgflyer]

We’ve been home to martian microbes for quite some time, now. They populate Congress.

[neodad]

Wow!

LOL! You beat me to it

[GatorGirl]

Alien to whom? Us, obviously! Mars?

Perhaps all the conservatives need to move to Mars—the RED planet!

What if there is life on Mars? How would that affect biblical Christianity?

My response:

1. Maybe Mars was seeded by microbes from Earth scientific probes or landers? (Many scientists believe that life originated on Mars! Remember when they found a meteorite in Antarctica and Bill Clinton declared that the meteorite contained fossilized microbes from Mars? Scientists believed that a meteor impact on Mars ejected the meteorite life-transporter. How else could this rock have landed in Antarctica?—since there never have been meteors strike the earth or there has never been volcanic eruptions on earth that could have blasted that rock there.)

2. Nothing in my theology rules out the possibility of living organisms on other planets. What a bout the discovery of other intelligent beings? Would the discovery of other intelligent life forms undermine Christianity? No. If they are intelligent beings, then we could learn a lot from them. We can learn a lot from apes, dogs and dolphins right now—right here.

3. What makes humans unique is not that we are alive; rather, it is that we have a spirit—a God consciousness. Unfortunately, that nature is fallen and in need of redemption because of sin.. But, thanks be to God that the Gospel is the answer to that need.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Expert quoted in the article seems to have an alien microbe growing on his hand.

[cripplecreek]

Believing the methane comes from subsurface microbes is a far cry from finding the actual microbes.

Personally I think we will one day find microbial life or solid evidence of it there in the past.

[sionnsar]

Nasa scientists believe.

NASA administrators believe we're deep into a period of man-made global warming, too.

MARSWARD HO!!!

[Quix]

Thx. Will check it out.

[Carley]

We have alien microbes moving into the White House.

As Calvin said in Calvin and Hobbes, "Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us."
