life on mars?

Started by BibleDude · 7 months ago

When we think about the possibility alien life, we usually think about life that comes from a planet in some distant system or other galaxy. But imagine that the one of the planets closest to us had a whole population of other life forms on it. Imagine a completely different race of ̶ ... Continue reading »

    "The fact is that 'life' on Mars can be easily explained in an Intelligent Design model, and is actually less likely in an evolutionary model."

    Translation: The fact is that life on Mars can be easily explained in a MAGIC model, and is actually less likely in a SCIENTIFIC model.

    Casey Luskin is a moron and a liar. He knows nothing about science. He uses words like design when he really means MAGIC. Magic is an idiotic idea that belongs in the Dark Ages.

    I BELIEVE THAT LIFE ON MARS REALLY EXIST AND THAT, SOON OR LATER, WE WILL
    DISCOVER THIS FACT.
    I DON`T BELIEVE THAT GOD (OR ANY "CREATOR") HAS REALLY CREATED THE LIFE ON MARS OR ON THE EARTH...
    I SIMPLY BELIEVE THAT WITH THE RIGHT CONDITIONS (WATER, TERMAL SOURCES, ETC...)
    LIFE HAS SPONTANOUSLY EMERGED ON MARS AND IN OTHERS PLANETS.
    BEST WISHES,

    I don't understand why the possibility of there formerly being life on Mars would be a threat unto Creationists? Yes, I understand that most of their beliefs are based upon what is contained in the Bible, and that there is no mention of physical life being anywhere but here in this world. Nonetheless, there is also no mention of the Western Hemisphere of Earth in the Bible, and it most certainly exists!

    No, I cannot provide anything scientific unto the discussion, but I can leave some food for thought. For when I asked our Heavenly Father about whether He had created "others" somewhere else or not, He explained that whatever He may have done or not done anywhere else has nothing to do with us in this world.

    bobxxxx,
    The quote you reference when you call Luskin a moron and a liar is actually mine. And I think that your statement literally proves my point about the fundamental difference in worldviews. To you ID is not possible because you seem to deny the possibility of anything non-physical in nature. That discussion is for another post...

    Dr. Martinez-Martignoni,
    I also believe that life on Mars exists (or at least the possibility of it). However, your "right conditions" statement is one that still confuses me. Using that cake analogy, do you also believe that you can put the ingredients of a cake into a bowl, and they would automatically turn into a cake? And what are the right conditions? Has science been able to recreate this event in a lab? Also, if there is a list of "right conditions," then what is the mathematical probability that those conditions all exist to make that happen?

    I think that Darwin himself pointed out that one of the potential downfalls to his own theory of evolution would be the improbability that it could actually occur given the "age" of the universe. With the current esitimates on the age of the universe, and the complexity of the human genome, what exactly are the odds? And is that within the normal scientific parameters that would be required to make it an actual scientific possibility?

    Thanks for joining the conversation! Please understand that I am not being disrespectful of the opposing points of view, I am actually curious as to the response to these questions. If you have answers, then I would love to hear...

    Dan
