(710 posts)You may find it disgusting but we are told that science is the answer to everything, yet no one provides the answers to everything, you all just dismiss religious beliefs as irrational.
Take evolution as an example, according to science life evolved on earth because we have water here.
Ok well, the latest news on Mars is that there is evidence of ancient rivers of water.
If life evolved and adapted to be able to live on the habitat of earth, then why did life not evolve and adapt on Mars which also according to latest developments also had water at some stage.
You will probably counter with the fact that Mars atmosphere is extreme and not conducive to life, but if life evolves to deal with the habitat surrounding it (apparently like it did on Earth), then why did Mars not evolve its own life that can deal with the extreme habitat of Mars?
We are told that an asteroid collided with Earth eons ago which was catastrophic enough to wipe out the dinosaurs, yet life continued to exist and then apparently evolved and we came into being.
So if Mars (even with its extreme atmosphere that is unable to support our the kind of life we have on earth) had rivers of water at one stage (and water is the pre-requisite to life), then why did Mars not evolve its own plants, creatures that could adapt and survive in the extreme atmosphere of Mars?
After all, the argument for evolving is that our nature adapted its life to deal with the habitat of the time, BUT somehow Mars could not create its own life and adapt it to survive in the habitat that Mars is subject to even though it has the pre-requisite for life, namely water.
You probably would think this is a stupid question, but the truth is it a completely valid question when talking about the topic of evolving.
