It will be interesting to see what they find. Though...I don't think they'll find any extraterrestrial life there. It's a big MAYBE. I'm not sure what they think they'll find...? Little green men with antennas and computers?I have been watching this get closer and they finally made it!

Lol! Maybe they'll find a "man" on Mars and he'll say, "Howdy! Want a popsicle?"On the TV show, Smallville, there's occasionally an alien from Mars who has super powers who looks very human.![]()
Yup! It's really pretty, isn't it? I know it would be a little while for us to find a way to stay on Mars for a prolonged amount of time, since the atmosphere is made up of poisonous carbon monoxide or dioxide I believe.I hope they post more pictures soon. It's a little anti-climatic that there's only 2 b & w's.
Still...pretty amazing to look at a photo and say "Wow...that's another planet!"![]()

I think they tried Venus but with the high temperatures and the uninhabitable atmosphere, it wouldn't possible...unless they found someway to be able to stand it.
I'm all for space exploration. Have been a wide eyed enthusiast since the Apollo missions when I was a kid. But, I don't know why we would ever need to consider living on another planet. I don't see it becoming a reality. There just isn't any need for it IMO.It's all exciting especially if there is the possibility of terraforming. We can put the first Christian colony on Mars.![]()
Or perhaps, (just to flip to the other side of a hypothetical philosophical) life on this planet was the result of impact ejecta from ancient Mars. ( like that movie Mission to MarsSomething that many persons, including members of the scientific community, tend to forget is that microbial life from one planet can be carried to other planets by way of impact ejecta. ( < do a Google search on that term.)
If a meteor, comet or other large piece of space debris collides with an 'inhabited' planet, the high amount of planetary surface that gets ejected back into space because of the tremendous impact energy involved, may contain microbial life that can survive the vaccum of space and be deposited as meteorites on other planets. There are several on-going studies concerning this phenomenon and many website studies can be found regarding this topic. If the latest Mars Lander does find something, there is a very good possibility that it was of earthly origin in the first place.
Maybe not us, but a couple generations down the road... the Earth will be 8 billion, 9 billion, 10 billion. It's going to be a little... crowded. We may have little choice but to expand into space in order to have a comfortable lifestyle.I'm all for space exploration. Have been a wide eyed enthusiast since the Apollo missions when I was a kid.

Interesting theory. I don't however agree.Maybe not us, but a couple generations down the road... the Earth will be 8 billion, 9 billion, 10 billion. It's going to be a little... crowded. We may have little choice but to expand into space in order to have a comfortable lifestyle.
That's an unfair assumption. I do believe Yahweh is the creator (I believe in micro-evolution but not macro-evolution) and I do believe in the second coming. The question, is of course, when. So many generations have tried to identify the Anti-Christ amongst them, and so many have said that Christ's return is imminent. Yes the Mark of the Beast could be the RFID chip and yes we are moving at a pace to a one world government and cashless society. Does it look like the Temple in Jerusalem will be rebuilt soon? I believe he will come again, I just don't know when. Nor do I know if putting Christians on Mars to live will automatically disqualify them from being raptured. It's His Earth, but it is also HIS Universe. All I can do is pray and be prepared when He does come.I'm guessing you don't ascribe to the New Earth Creationist theology. Or to the second coming. (rhetorical)
The Mayan 2012 prophecy is interesting but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. Just going to go about my life praying and glorifying God.Just to throw another monkey wrench in, what about the belief that the world will end by some cataclysmic event in 2012? Or the theory that the universe (our universe) will be swallowed up a black whole that astronomers have found, and estimate will do so before then?
I wholeheartedly agree.I stand by my original statement. At some point, you just have to trust that God has it all in control and try not to worry about it.
Pagan predictions are of no value.The Mayan 2012 prophecy is interesting but I'm not going to lose any sleep over it. Just going to go about my life praying and glorifying God.
I'm Sorry. Did I offend you? That wasn't my intention. ... It wasn't an assumption about you. It was a rhetorical question about your statement. The logical retort to your apparent conclusion.That's an unfair assumption.
