Water on Mars?!

[Kynosaur]

Re: Water on Mars?!

'cause God can't make ice on Mars, right? Ice means life.

But seriously, this is really interesting. What confuses me is that people say that there may have been life on Mars in the past. It was my understanding that the sun heats up and expands over time, which seems to contradict the idea that the ice was once liquid water and that it was hotter there, hot enough for life? I must be missing something.

I thought the generally-agreed-upon theory was that the sun contracts over time (something like 1.5' an hour?) but because it's so huge as it is, the effects are unnoticeable... From our planet anyway, maybe because global warming counteracts that. What makes sense to me, however, is that if it was hot enough on Mars to support life, then it would be too hot on Earth to do the same. Earth is currently understood to be the only planet - in our soler system - that can support life. UNLESS there are some super life forms which can adapt to anything, but that's still a matter or opinion because there is of course no proof.

As for the talk of God, He created everything in the first place and set it all in motion - He only intervenes when absolutely necessary.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
That's amazing.


Plus, we already heard about there being water/ice on Mars.
Scientists have said that it's the most habitable place in our solar system besides Earth.

I'll change that if you cease to believe a word of what you read in the newspaper. Don't insult me again.

Please, if you're easily insulted by people on the internet you need to unplug your computer.
Especially something as trivial as Religion.

but that's still a matter or opinion because there is of course no proof.

I wonder where else that comment is relevant?

This thread is about science, do not bring religion into it. >_<

Mars is experiencing global warming! Ice -> Water.

:O

QFE

I'm really unknowledgable about this kind of current event info, but didn't they discover ice on Mars a while ago? =_=

In the newspaper, which we all believe every word of, but some of us flatly refuse to believe what's in the Bible?

Several months ago.

EDIT: Why would we read a book that would condemn somebody like me to a firey-burny place for all of eternity once I die? Not my favourite kind of literature.

It's funny, you assume that I'm making a point by fixing your first statement. When I was actually trying to be politically correct (to prevent this kind of argument).

I like how you made assumptions on my actions, because I'm Roman Catholic. See, I actually allow others to believe in what they want because I'm not an asshole.

Re: Water on Mars?!

Quick point for Kynosaur - Only an idiot would believe every word he or she read in the newspaper. It's not a viable argument. Now as far as I'm concerned it has been made clear that Religion vs Science discussions have been done so much that they should stop. CT especially appears to enforce this unwritten rule with threads on the subject locked.

As such, if you want to continue and get this thread locked then keep posting as you are. If you would rather get the topic back on track and talk about the water on mars then start posting properly.
