Are we Martians?

Question

Oversimplified question to save space and catch your attention.

Here's the news: Mars once flowed with WATER! That means they had a stable atmospher that sustained organisims (probably micro). Our atmospher was, in part, created by similar organisms.

So while earch was still forming or sometime after, do you think life from the Mars seeded the Earth?

BTW do you know how our atmospher was created?

Answer 1

maybe u r...

i am human

LOL

Answer 2

In a intergalactic war with the Xorgons, the Martians had to flee to the next neighboring planet, Earth. Through evolutions and stuffs, we to look like our present human forms, but still waiting to see if those *****-a$$ Xorgons would try to take over Earth.

Answer 3

Whoooooa...back the speculation train up for a moment.

First of all, you say: "That means they had a stable atmospher[sic] that sustained organisims (probably micro)."

No.  That means Mars COULD have had a stable atmosphere (notice the "e" on the end of the word) and living organisms in its past.  Yes, if these organisms existed, they were probably microorganisms, but the mere existence of liquid water on Mars in its past is not irrefutable evidence of life on Mars.  That's a HUGE logical leap to make.

You say: "Our atmospher was, in part, created by similar organisms."

You're sort of right.  Earth's earliest atmosphere was created by volcanic outgassing as the planet cooled, but that atmosphere had precious little molecular oxygen in it.  The MODERN atmophere (with its 21% oxygen content) is partially due to the work of early photosynthesizers.  What you said isn't totally wrong, but it's not totally accurate either.

"So while earch was still forming or sometime after, do you think life from the Mars seeded the Earth?"

No.  There's absolutely no reason to suspect that life on Earth arose on Mars or any other planet.  In fact, Earth, with its tide-making Moon, might have been a more suitable environment for the formation of early life than Mars would have been.  IF there ever were life on Mars, it is more likely that it was seeded there from Earth than the other way around.

Let me make myself clear: THERE IS AN EXTREMELY LOW PROBABILITY THAT ANY EARLY LIFE ON MARS CAME FROM EARTH.  However, the probability of that happening, however slight, is still better than the probability of life going the other way.

"BTW do you know how our atmospher was created?"

Yes, see above.

I hope that helps.  Good luck!

Answer 4

I believe you are right that there once was a stable atmosphere on Mars but there is a distinction I think you missed.  There is evidence that Mars once had water.  Scientists think that water is a main component to "creating" a sustainable atmosphere and "eventually" producing life.  Just because they found evidence of water doesn't mean there has ever been a stable atmosphere OR organisms.  They have not found proof of either, they just found water, this doesn't mean there was life or atmosphere.

ADD: Sorry, I don't think I was clear enough......there is already atmosphere on Mars, its very thin, flowing water suggests that at some time the atmosphere protected the planet from heat and cold enough that water could be in a liquid state.......this is why I believe that the planet probably sustained life, but flowing water does not prove that the atmospher was sustainable for life, or that it did exist.
