NASA about to make a mysterious announcement about Mars

[HonestBob]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

ditto!

[The Abdominal Snoman]

They have been working on an "Alien threat" for some time. All arrows point to if it happens, it will be 100% hoax. Made up will super real 3D holograms...All part of the One World Gov agenda.

[Donny]

ditto!

well tell us your theory Bob?

NASA has known for a long time there are other life forms. I think they are slowly feeding the media. Do people really believe we are the only intelligent life form in Galaxies which we do not understand never mind reach.

[Man of Steel]

NASA already announced that they believe the existence of flowing salt water exists on Mars.

Scientists said they need to develop more advanced rovers to send to Mars to examine the peaks of land formations in which the flowing water is thought to exist.  Need soil samples and atmospheric samples to bring back to earth for research.   Said they need to develop more specific procedures to prevent contamination of Mars' environment by Earth's explorative efforts so that they can clearly delineate between findings on Mars and contaminants from Earth (brought to Mars).  Said manned travel to Mars is a long way out because they need to test and test and test first, but that eventual manned exploration is certainly possible now.  They also explained existence of salty-percholorates at rsl sites and the need to understand the extremes of temperatures there as it pertains to the process of deliquescence (NASA's favorite hypothesis for the flowing water).  

This is generally what I understood.  Hopefully someone else can clarify.

yes what i have seen on the media too.

I'm genuinely curious about the unrelated comments I highlighted in red.  Are they merely a "troll job" to rile up theists?  I'm very interested to understand NASA's findings, but never once did I think to insult anyone given that interest.  What prompted you two to capriciously insult theists and interject a religious perspective?  At this point, we don't know what the specific announcement is LOL.  NASA already discovered ice at the poles of Mars and it's apparent that river like formations are presented on the surface.

I spent about 20 minutes writing a reply, but I deleted it because we both know where this road leads.



sorry if my comment offended you I am usually more considerate when posting, take my distaste in da_vinci's disregard for the pursuit of fact and truth as an explanation for my equal distaste in religion.

OH i think Religion will be re-written. there is a God but not what we understand.

I'm not against there being higher forms of intelligence that exist within or outside the universe.

Just men or groups who claim to have inside knowledge on what that means without any actual proof.

Oh no, didn't offend me at all.  I'm just genuinely trying to understand where you're coming from....that's it.  

Helps prevent me from making arrogant assumptions about you or others that just aren't the case.

Also let's me know if there's a discussion worth having (whether or not the person has real interest in the topic or is just trolling for high fives).

I get your point but i canīt believe ex NASA Astronauts and Russian Cosmonauts are lying.

Breaking News: NASA has confirmed that the Baltimore Ravens are indeed lifeless.

what is the % chance of "life" on mars if there was flowing water?   Is it a near-certainty, or just one of the required pre-requisites?

I think it shows that if this is true then it is evident it exists further from our sun. there are apparently more suns out there.

Prerequisite for life on Earth which harkens back to shizzo's point.  Although, NASA's scientists repeatedly stated their need to "test and test and test" to make sure before we send humans to Mars.....that's decades off though.   Although as one of NASA's scientists also noted in the announcement "we don't know how life started on Earth" so their baseline for comparison is already lacking.  I don't have an issue with exploration provided we understand our own planet more completely first.  Still, I also grasp the argument that the answer to our planet may exist on another....hence the exploration.

That is exactly my point. What does water have to do with the odds of finding alien beings?

Fish do not drink water.

I Firmly believe that our ancestors saw "God" this is relevant in many religions. The God we think off is not off this Earth. look at the writings of all religions and cave paintings.

[King Shizzo]

If god created the universe, and everything in it, he obviously had no life.

It would also make no sense to make every planet lifeless, except for earth.

I'm curious, why is that?

[Donny]

The pyramids are alone a signal of very advanced Geometry. way advanced for that time.

[Dr Dutch]

They are still trying to cover it up, but NASA also found an ancient seated calf machine on Mars.....

[King Shizzo]

I'm curious, why is that?

The universe supposedly has millions of galaxies and billions of planets. Why would god go through all that trouble
creating all of it?  For what purpose does the universe serve?

Was god just bored and decided to make a very detailed Minecraft simulator?

"I think I will put a cute little ring around this planet........"

The complexities of why we are here, were never meant for humans to understand. We might just be the byproduct of an elemental soup.

I guess the first assumption is that God's creative efforts were difficult or troublesome for him.   Scripture indicates that as far as our existence is concerned he simply "spoke and it came to be".

Scripture indicates that the "heavens declare the glory of God".   I think his creation also illustrates the vastness between his infinitude and our finitude.  In other words, it helps us better understand who we are subject to and what he's capable of......respect might be a consideration.  

I think the complexities of why we are here are incredible, but more than the complexities themselves is the improbability of those complexities arising on their own - that's far more unfathomable to me.  

Further still, it's hard for me to buy into the random exploding of nothing into something (via no trigger) and then further explosions of the smaller somethings (ex: stars) and their swirling remains slowly coalescing from a state of chaos into order and then slowly evolving from one type of thing to an entirely different thing with no source of control....ultimately only time as the agent of change.   That's a tall order to swallow for me, but that's me.  I couple that with the special revelation of God's goodness, grace, mercy and love in my life and I'm hard pressed to eliminate a universal singularity (aka God).
