Well, we have found Martian rocks in Antarctica which seem to indicate fossilized Martian life. So that seems to make a similar scenario possible for Earth life being transported there via lithospermia as well. What's good for the goose is good for the gander as they say.

Fossil Life in Martian Rock ?

BTW
If I found life on Mars and it came at me like that face-hugger animalcule in the film Alien, I really wouldn't care where it came from. My primary concern would be to pry it loose from my helmet visor.
Source for the claim mars rock on earth has life remains?

No problem. I don't believe it. It would be interesting to see the evidence so that I could see where they got it wrong though I guess.

Here is an article which explains the experiments performed and results which might be indicative of Martian life.

I just noticed that the article is 21 years old so I imagine that they must have reached some type of consensus by now. I'll see what else I can find.

I suppose if there were any traces of life on Mars rocks, they could have come from contact with stuff ejected from earth in the flood year...on the way to earth.

"Earth-like" in terms of the article has a rather specific definition, so I don't see how that counts as a "deception".

It will be interesting to see what we are able to find out about planets so relatively near to us. While they may not be overly habitable, they have potential.

Like Venus has potential and yet it is difficult perceive it as Earthlike in its present extremely hostile-to-Earth life condition. Imagine someone describing Venus as Earthlike to those unfamiliar with it and the shock they would get upon arrival. To avoid such a scenario, I would dispense with the Earthlike appellation and just say rocky exo-planets as opposed to the exo-planerary gas and ice giants. After all, the term Earthlike does involuntarily conjure up visions of rivers and a breathable atmosphere with bearable temperatures and is indeed misleading in that sense.

Do you guys actually read the article and verify the data? Did you have access to the telemetry and do a thorough analysis of it? Or did you all believe by faith in this garbage tabloid magazine article.

Here are some pictures of the "$$$$even earth like planets":

You may actually have a point here. The paucity or complete absence of traces of life in Martian rocks suggests that they have not come in contact with terrestrial material.

Please keep in mind that the vast part of that planet remains relatively unexplored. So basing generalization on such scanty evidence isn't advisable..

Call me skittish you want to but I personally wouldn't spend a year there alone counting on the fact that nothing is going to suddenly emerge from below, grab me by my ears and drag me under even if they paid me a fortune.

Great, so no life on Mars then.

You seem to want it both ways. If traces of life are found in Martian meteorites, they are not indigenous but are derived from life-bearing terrestrial material. If no traces of life are found in these meteorites, that proves that there is no life on Mars and never has been. Are there any conceivable observations that you would accept as evidence of the existence of indigenous life on Mars?

The issue is not whether there are traces of life. The issue is whether the life originally hated on earth.

I disagree; in my opinion the question whether there really are traces of life in Martian meteorites is very important. So far, I don't find the evidence convincing. We need to have compelling evidence for life on Mars before we can hope to establish whether it originated there or came from the Earth.

The issue is whether the life originally hated on earth.

What do you mean by 'hated on earth'?

Heard of it but, strange as it might seem, I just can't figure out how it is related to Mars.
I thought there was evidence of a lot of water..channels..lake beds etc on Mars? Possibly some water left earth in the flood year. So...maybe some landed on Mars.

No need to establish where life came from we know that. Those that invent fables as to where it come from are grasping at godless straws.

The hated thing was a typo...it should read started. Life started on earth.
