The Creationists will have to rethink their theology if intelligent beings are found on Mars or elsewhere. That's their problem.

So don't count on hearing from them any time soon about anything they find along that line or have already found. The fear is it would cause upheaval from religious institutions who believe that some magic man in the sky invented things just 6000 years ago.

NASA indeed thinks that life could have originated on Mars in the past, and possibly still exists today, but it would be micro-organisms, like bacteria. Temperatures on Mars range from about 20°C to below -100°C, averaging somewhere in the neighbourhood of -40°C most of the time. It is a frozen desert now. The life they expect they could find would be something like the micro-organisms found in the dry valleys in Antarctica, which live inside of rocks slightly beneath the rock's exterior surfaces. More likely, were signs of life to be found, it would be fossil evidence of life from the distant past when Mars had more atmosphere and surface water. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <jr_esq@...> mailto:jr_esq@... wrote : Salyavin, The NASA chief recently stated that there may be life forms that exist on Mars today.
