'Recent' flowing water points to life on Mars

[MidGe]

This could become disturbing for some believers, at least. I think we are on the verge, and if not this time or planet, soon... soon enough. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I dont think water is evidence of life.

Isnt life evidence of water?

That being said, as a believer it doesnt bother me if there is life on other planets

even I will admit that this, in itself, is not all that big of a problem...

there would certainly need to be huge amounts of assumptions made to reconcile some issues, but that's nothing to the faithful.

Well, I don't know the original, just the translation...but I've always assumed that our 'dominion' over the 'birds of the air' included aliens...It's, you know...metaphorical and [censored].

Here's another article with pics:

Before water you need heat and Mars has had none as recently as this water seems to have been flowing.

[MidGe]

semtex,

don't overlook the fact that glaciers flow and that it could be hot water from a geothermal source, the evidence left being the frosted remains!

I thought there was no evidence of recent geothermal activity, vulcanism, plate tectonics, etc on Mars? In the article I read, this water (could also be liquid CO2) was perhaps flowing in "recent years." Not sure if that meant geologic recent years or not.

[MidGe]

It meant: in the last seven years!!!
