I'm still INCLINED to think there's stuff there on Mars. But I'm not 'religious' about it.
I don't have any trouble at all believeing that ALL CREATION WAITS GROANING EAGERLY EXPECTANTLY FOR THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SONS OF GOD.
Why wouldn't sin polluted creation be eager for those who will RULE AND REIGN WITH CHRIST to bring honorable, loving, just, sin free rule to their spheres?
On earth virtually the same catastrophes took place --
DESTROYING CITIES CREATED ON EARTH BEFORE THERE WERE EVEN ADAMS.
Jeremiah 4:23-2:
I looked on the earth, and beheld it formless (laid waste) and void; and to the heavens, and they had no light.
I looked on the mountains, and, behold, they quaked.
And all the hills were shaken. I beheld and lo, there was no man (Adams); and all the cover of the skies had fled.
I looked, and, behold, the fruitful place was a wilderness; and all its cities were broken down before the face of Jehovah, before his glowing anger.
For so Jehovah has said. The whole land shall be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end.
Jeremiah looked into the ages before Adam and described the destruction of the earth.
There were no men, (descendents of Adam), yet there were cities which were destroyed by God's wrath - who dwelt in these cities?
There I go again, asking those cryptic questions. :)
