I think it is mans attempt to find “life” so they can claim there is no God.

I think it is mans attempt to find “life” so they can claim there is no God.

How in the world would that follow? If the odds are against life forming spontaneously in just a single instance here on earth, to have the same thing happen twice are those odds TIMES those odds. The more times life that has independent sources is found, the less likely it is that it originated by chance.

"I think it is mans attempt to find “life” so they can claim there is no God."

I make no excuses for being both a scientist and a creationist, but I consider that to be one of the most childish, stupid, and just flat WRONG statements I have ever read. Only a fundamentalist simpleton would see a threat to his/her belief in God in the simple unveiling of yet another of His works of creation.

I have the opposite view, in going to Mars, because there is a mineral record found alreeady (raw hematite), showing that Mars, at one time in its history, was a planet with water in abundance.

How did Mars get to its present environment? Where did the water go? If we life (even in microbial size), how did that life change, with the change of the planet?

It is not an argument of “God, or no god”.

However you slice it, the divine will always be present, as long as there are humans, since it is we, that carry a spark of that divinity within us, when compared to all other life on Earth, or wherever we go in the galaxy.
