OBS: Life On Earth Started On Mars-Says Scientist

Mars

Another reason why creationism is a dead theory….For anyone to think we were created in the face of emerging contrary evidence is not only absurd but denotes that, indeed such a person has suspended his/her thinking faculty…

According to Sky News;

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.

  1. If due to this, u saythe creation of God doesnt exist then u r as crazy as the scientist..there is no scienctific evidence tht proves tht ther is no God or no creation tht doesnt have flaws,i mean major flaws..n so do religious creation accounts..and so ill choose to believe one..the irony is tht scientists want to be revered and believed because thy r authorities..doesnt tht sound like faith too??…most philosophers of old may not have blvd in God but majority of them blvd there is a non-physical part of our identity as humans..check plato,otega,descartes…n this non physical part needs to be filled to make an individual whole!!..so ill advise u to loook fr God and u will find peace!

  2. Man can not be precise by mathematical precision.  

    These are just theoretical constructs by geochemists to rationalise their often vague, unfathomable, scientific hypothesis. 

    If you want to find God see me, if you want to see God look at me.

    Free your mind.

  3. It like he is trying to say that human beings were not created by God… But there is one truth God created heaven and earth

  4. Not everyone agrees with you Chris…so if you say that …”For anyone to think we were created in the face of emerging contrary evidence is not only absurd but denotes that, indeed such a person has suspended his/her thinking faculty…” i feel very insulted
