New evidence has emerged to support the theory that life on Earth originated from Mars.
I apologize if I can not post any of the article,but it can be found here............
phys.org...
So,with this discovery,it seems that it is possible that all life on Earth originated from Mars,when Mars had an atmosphere and water.
The only difference between Mars and Earth at the time was that Earth was completely covered in water and Mars was not.
The key is boron,Mars has it,and Earth does to,but in drier conditions.
I find this new evidence fascinating,to say the least,and opens up a whole new door into how life began on Earth.edit on 28-8-2013 by kdog1982 because: (no reason given)
There is no possible way that life of any kind could survive a trip in space to earth.
Life hitched a ride on a rock would have burned up while entering earths atmosphere, even if the rock survived the landing, the rock would of become sterile from the heat and radiation.
Just my 2 cents..
The newfound molecules bring the total number of biologically-relevant molecules found in interstellar space to 141. Scientists have previously found benzene, a ring-shaped carbon molecule important for life on Earth, around stars and intact amino acids in meteorites that have crash-landed on Earth.
Even more complex molecular creations might be possible in space, experiments suggest. In one study, scientists simulated deep space conditions in the laboratory and created small structures resembling cell walls in living organisms.
I'd like to think of CHEMISTRY coming from the Sun and bouncing off planets in a kind of really sloooowww solar-system-wide chemical explosion (I suppose EVOLUTION is the right word) - on astronomical time scales in reality (or millions of years at least) - and that's before even the first complex POLYMER CHAINS formed, let alone life...
The experimental findings suggest phosphate is released as much as 45 times faster during interactions between water and rock on Mars than on Earth. All in all, phosphate concentrations in wet environments on early Mars may have been twice those of early Earth.
"It's exciting whenever you find evidence that has positive implications for the possibility of life outside of Earth," Adcock said

What are the odds seeding Mars with the same substance would work to kick start life on the planet again?
If the system doing so was controlled and monitored, well, we will be on Mars soon enough.
Could we control the evolution of the environment?edit on 28-8-2013 by Thorneblood because: (no reason given)
