Would life on Mars be a problem for your religious beliefs?

[Wiccan_Child]

Just because another planet is earthlike, does not necessarily mean that conditions on that planet are conducive for evolution.There may be something in the chemical make up of what ever it is that the life is in that stops further development in it's tracks.
That life form may not even need to evolve at all.
Anyway, If there is evidence of life forms from the past or present found on other planets,it wouldn't phase my faith on bit.It would strengthen it.

I can understand why it wouldn't harm your faith, but why would it strengthen it? Unless the existence of alien life is something your faith is built on (e.g., Scientology), I'm stumped

Human is not animal.

Add biology to the list.

 

[Elendur]

Anybody who claims that Mars has no atmosphere is more right than wrong.

It either has an atmosphere or it doesn't. There is no more right or wrong, it's either right or wrong.

Do they state, as you do, that gravity itself can change?

Yes.

"It is a fairly easy demonstration that nothing any larger than the largest elephants could live in our world today, and that the largest dinosaurs survived ONLY because the nature of the world and of the solar system was then such that they did not experience gravity as we do at all; they'd be crushed by their own weight, collapse in a heap, and suffocate within minutes were they to."

If the Earth and the Mars were closer together, the probability that rocks from one planet would land on the other planet would be greater; still, the probability that rocks from Mars would reach Earth would be greater than the opposite.

False.

If Earth and Mars got too close, the electrical discharges that would occur between the two planets could excavate material from both planets and hurl rock and dust into space. Some of that debris could end up on both planets.

This has nothing to do with the topic. Once again, you have proven incapable of understanding even the simplest topics.

Nonsense.

If it is possible for life on Earth to have originated on Mars, then is also possible for life on Mars to have originated on Earth.

Oh man, its not saying gravity changed, but that the gravity was different because the planetary body mass' was different.

I don't think so. Unless the organism can not survive, otherwise it will evolve, even the environment is maintained at a constant condition. That is what evolution said.

And don't forget that the (any) planet evolves too. So it is not possible to have a planet with a constant environment for a long period of time. If there were aliens, they may see the earth environment is almost a constant.

 

[juvenissun]

Why not? Humans are animals, too.

No. Human wear clothes. Animals don't.

 

[Doveaman]

Oh man, its not saying gravity changed, but that the gravity was different...

Okay.

because the planetary body mass' was different.

In the Electric Universe model, gravity is not a constant. It's a variable that depends on the plasma environment.

 

[Blackwater Babe]

No. Human wear clothes. Animals don't.

 

[Elendur]

No. Human wear clothes. Animals don't.

So nudists aren't humans then. Got it.

 

[Blackwater Babe]

So nudists aren't humans then. Got it.

And pets people dress up are.

 

[Elendur]

And pets people dress up are.

Obviously, why would they have clothes otherwise?

 

[pgp_protector]

So nudists aren't humans then. Got it.

And Babies !!!



Wait.... Didn't we already have this discussion?

 

[selfinflikted]

No. Human wear clothes. Animals don't.

Bahahaha!

Sometimes this place gets me so down, I have to ask myself why I still come here. This is one of those reasons.

 

[Doveaman]

Just to tell you guys, the planets were not bunched closer together during the formulation of our solar system.

I never said they were.

The gathering of the planets were recorded from human memories around the world, which meant that the gathering of the planets was witnessed by modern humans in the recent past.

Some believe it was around the time of Noah's flood and the confusion at the City of Babel. The tower that was being built by those ancient people to reach the "heavens" was likely being built to reach the "planet-gods" that resided in the heavens. This is why God came down to halt their idolatry.

Holy crud, here we go.

Yes.

Are you kidding me? Are. You. Kidding. Me!?

I asked you whether the link you posted supported your thesis; now, you give me a completely different link!

I will address the content of this citation later.

False.

If Earth and Mars got too close, the electrical discharges that would occur between the two planets could excavate material from both planets and hurl rock and dust into space. Some of that debris could end up on both planets.

And still, you haven't got the slightest idea about probabilities; if both probabilities (Mars to Earth and Earth to Mars) increase, then they are both higher. However, Mars to Earth is still more probable because the Mars has less gravity.

Nonsense.

If it is possible for life on Earth to have originated on Mars, then is also possible for life on Mars to have originated on Earth.

I thought you were talking about rocks?!

You know what, I'll just erase every item on my list and write the current topic instead!

Given the distances involved, "the reality" of the situation makes no difference.
The time it would take to even pass the knowledge back to us renders the information of no value.
"The rest of the cosmos is sterile" is a falsifiable claim. A perfectly legit scientific theory.
Only the only complaints are religious viewpoints.

Again, more assumptions. I never said it was not a falsifiable scientific claim. You, however, cannot say "We have not found life on two planetary; hence, the rest of the cosmos is sterile"

I fail to see how distance and time has anything to do with data. Data transmitted will be the exact same data the rover took on Mars (or whatever other planet it's on). Neither time or distance will alter the measurements.

 

[serge546]

If it is possible for life on Earth to have originated on Mars, then is also possible for life on Mars to have originated on Earth.

I already posted that I could not find any scientific literature on the topic of life on earth arising from Mars. I did not just Google that, either, I went to a prominent and extensive scientific database.

If you know something I do not, please post your source for that claim.
