Always been a fan of the Cydonia theories, still though, 70% of my brain tells me it probably is natural, and some of the evidence brung forward by
the reent mars probes give strength to that, but still mystery lurks in my mind.
I'd say go with the other 30%
For all who simply 'believe' that there is nothing artificial on Mars, but then supply no facts to support thier 'beliefs', then I take it that it
is a 'belief system'. Or Faith based opinions. Or religion.
How about a few facts?
Statement:
The Face On Mars is an artificial construction, built by intelligent beings.
When The Scientific Method is applied to this statement, it is shown to be true. Beyond reasonable doubt.
With odds of 1000, Billion, Billion to one AGAINST it being a natural object.
Proof you say?
How about an astronomer who among many other things is/was :
Ph.D. in Astronomy from Yale University
1963 - Dec. 1983: Research Astronomer, Nautical Almanac Office, U.S. Naval Observatory, Washington, DC. Title: Chief, Celestial Mechanics Branch.

Anyway, here is a small portion of the The Scientific Method as applied to the question; Is the Face Artificial:
If you have questions, then click the link below for a full discussion.
In Figure 2, it is possible to see details in the image (once the right correspondence to the Viking image is recognized) that might have been
intended to portray each secondary facial feature – eyebrow, pupil, nostrils, and lips. These are more plainly visible in higher-magnification views
with brightness and contrast adjusted for each area because of the limited contrast in the image. Such views may be inspected at
metaresearch.org... in the Cydonia section. Detailed study with image processing software shows that these secondary facial features exist where
expected by the artificiality hypothesis, but nowhere else on the mesa. This rules out a background of many similar features from which we might pick
out just ones that fulfill our expectations. Moreover, each feature is present at the expected location, having the expected size, shape, and
orientation. The odds are against any of these features arising by chance, and against each feature having any of the four listed characteristics.
Each of these probabilities has been carefully and conservatively estimated in a fuller treatment of this topic. [1] The combined odds against all of
these features being present and having all expected characteristics to the degree actually present, when taken together with the absence of similar
features in the background, exceed a thousand billion billion to one (1021 to 1).

This guy is a genius and a great speaker to boot.
I highly recommend downloading some of his interviews:

So. 1000, billion, billion to one?
I like those odds...
