(710 posts)couldn't have developed its own form of life with the water it had.
See, through all the things I have read and seen, NASA and others were looking extremely hard to find if there was water on Mars because according to them, if there is water then that indicates that life could be present, meaning water is needed to create life.
So, if there were once rivers of water on Mars then why didn't some sort of life emerge from the water and why didn't it evolve and adapt to the extreme environment or even the changing conditions if they did change.
According to science, Earth was once just a piece of rock with no life until asteroids slammed into it transferring the elements for water, etc. Meaning that all life evolved from what the asteroid/s transferred onto earth. This original life then evolved over millions of years to become plants, animals, creatures, etc.
Apparently through hundreds of millions of years, Earth went through countless periods of time where the habitat changed considerably, one being the asteroid that was catastrophic enough to wipe out the dinosaurs and probably bring on the ice age.
Yet through all these extreme changes life survived and evolved to what is it now.
If Mars had rivers of water, it means that an asteroid also transferred the elements onto Mars. Why did life not start the same way as on Earth?
Please understand that I am not asking why the life that we have on Earth did not eventuate on Mars as I recognize our life is unique to our environment, I am asking why Mars didn't develop life unique to its atmosphere and why that life did not evolve to deal with the habitat the same way Earths did?
We have a chance to see whether evolution is a real theory, Mars is our best example to see its validity.
If evolution means that life adapts to the environment that is constantly changing, then surely life should have developed on Mars and adapted to changing environment?
Again it doesn't have to be earth based life, it could be life that could only survive in Mars atmosphere because it would have adapted to it as Mars nature could have seen to it the way the Earths nature did.
Why was Earth the special planet in our solar system that developed and sustained life if life evolves to live in what ever environment exists at that time.
Evolving from apes to suit the habitat we lived in is just one aspect of evolution, but we evolved from something before that, right?
All the way back to the first life on Earth, so Mars should have done the same thing with its specific forms of life and its specific environment/nature.
