Maybe we're not so special.


I've also heard a theory that life on Earth possibly could have originated on Mars and was deposited here by a meteor.

More about it on space.com

and they have proven that some life can survive in the vacum of space long enough to deposit orginaic mater.

I think it would be cool if its found because then if 2 planets in one solar system have life, and possibility of Titan even though its really far fetched, it would prove that life is a very common thing in the universe.

Could have gone the other way, too.

Either way, its a most interesting theory. Perhaps one day we'll have a definite answer.

Because it usually ends up as a creationist/evolutionist debate when it comes to the origin of life.

I believe there is life elsewhere in the universe.
Statistically there has to be.
And being seeded may not be so far fetched.

In fact it's my of my hobbies to hunt for extrterestrial evidence from the ancient world.
I traveled to Chiapas to see Pakals tomb(search ancient astronaut.

They state the only way to know for sure is to drill, drill, drill. What are we going to do? Send another non-drilling lander to Mars in 2009. It seems we'll all be clinically insane with post counts ranging from 5,000 to 25,000 by the time we find out for sure. Interesting none the less. If I recall, the pictures you see there are from the meteorites found and discussed below;
In 1996 a team of NASA and Stanford University researchers created a stir when they published findings that meteorites recovered from the Allen Hills region of Antarctica contained evidence of possible past life on Mars. Those findings remain controversial, with many researchers unconvinced that those meteorites held even possible evidence that very primitive microbial life had once existed on Mars.

No, just his unknown brother who failed miserably trying to establish life on Mars!

How can we go to Mars if we haven't even been to the moon yet?
