life on mars? if there is any than it is the lowest level of bateria possible. the conditions r just too harsh for anything greater. there may have been more in the past when the sun was hotter and mars climate was less hostile. but i doubt it got to the point of animals.

the lighting theory is insteresting, and when you consider it you can't think of the bolt of lighting stricking one little protien chain. It's more like millions of protien chains spread out in an ocean or sea and lighting hitting the water is a catalyst for some of them to change.

as far as life on earth originating from mars I believe that is pretty far fetched. however, the possibility that similar asteroids containing the same chemical make up hit both the earth and mars is not immpossible. in fact if you consider most of the material which formed planets in our solar system came from the same grouping of space debries this probably happened a lot.

then again, maybe their is still some bacteria living on mars right now that's 10x deadlier than ebola and when NASA sends up a robot that can fire a rocket back towards earth it will piggyback inside and kill every living creature on earth. may sound crazy, but it would be pretty ironic if the discovery of life on another planet ended all life on the planet that found it. lol
