The Red Planet is where it all began apparently
Could it be? There is huge suggestion there was once life on Mars, how advanced, we don’t know, anyone with Google or who wants to look through the pictures of Mars via NASA will see what looks like pyramids, this is a very thought provoking idea here. And one with huge religious aspects to it also. Can science prove this 100%, lets see I guess, if they do, then what? How would life change here on Earth, would it have an impact of the religious world? Debate away, for me this would blow a lot of what the bible says out the window, and bring in a new chapter of knowledge to the World. I have been keeping my eye on this study for a while now, they seem fairly sure. Some just won’t have it though, even if the proof was 100% but I respect that, I have to, respecting educated opinions is a must
Life on Earth may have started millions of miles away on Mars, according to scientists.
An element believed to be crucial to the origin of life would only have been available on the surface of the Red Planet.
These “seeds” of life probably arrived on Earth in meteorites blasted off Mars by impacts or volcanic eruptions, Geochemist Professor Steven Benner claims.
Prof Benner, from The Westheimer Institute for Science and Technology in the US, said: “The evidence seems to be building that we are actually all Martians; that life started on Mars and came to Earth on a rock.”
Speaking at the Goldschmidt 2013 conference in Florence, Italy, he said: “It’s lucky that we ended up here nevertheless, as certainly Earth has been the better of the two planets for sustaining life.
“If our hypothetical Martian ancestors had remained on Mars, there might not have been a story to tell.”
Prof Benner said the element molybdenum was thought to be a catalyst that helped organic molecules develop into the first living things.
“This form of molybdenum couldn’t have been available on Earth at the time life first began, because three billion years ago the surface of the Earth had very little oxygen, but Mars did.
“It’s yet another piece of evidence which makes it more likely life came to Earth on a Martian meteorite, rather than starting on this planet.”
He added: “Analysis of a Martian meteorite recently showed that there was boron on Mars; we now believe that the oxidised form of molybdenum was there too.”
Another reason why life would have struggled to start on early Earth was that it was likely to have been covered by water, said Prof Benner.
