there is a theory that life on earth did originally come from mars. how it would have happened is that a meteor struck mars, and blasted a rock with basic genetic material or bacteria off on impact. said rock then smashes into earth, bringing the nescessary stuff to us, for life to develop. as for current life on mars? people have speculated there are dormant bacteria in the martian permafrost layer, but who know's for sure. definitely not intelligent life though. any intelligent life would have died out at the same time as the planet, if any developed at all. apparently it's unlikely though that we're gonna get bacteria on the surface however because scientists claim the conditions are too inhosbitable. i don't agree with this myslef. if a scorpion can survive nuclear contamination from an atom bomb, surely bacteria can survive a bit of dodgy weather on mars? besides, saw on tv today that yeast pasrtivles can survive on the top of the rocky mountains, so i'm guessing the scientists aren't all agreeing with each other at the moment. but then, when do they agree on stuff like this?
