Is it possible WE are the Martians?

Question

I keep hearing an Discovery Channel, National Geographic channel and all kinds of radio programs that it is possible. Scientists believe that Mars was bigger and it exploded sending astroids into space with bacteria which was martians. Then we evolvd into these martains and we are the real martains. Does it seem possible to you? It does to me. Please no put downs from christians saying stuff like "the bible is the only truth" and crap like that. I am not a christian and I am not addressing hard core christians.

Answer 1

Yes, because it is completely perception and on how you define the term. If other forms of life are intelligent enough to communitcate, we may very well be the martians. gg

Answer 2

Well you know what they say, when in Rome, make like Romans or something... I am Christan, and I am glad that you have a solid opinion about that, and I too disagree with most of the crap being fed to us from the misinterpretations of the Bible. It is quite possible, It has some logical theory and fact backing it up. As for the expansion, it is actually possible. Mars is very active volcanically, Olympus Mons is more than twice as tall as Mount Everest, meaning that since there are no plates currently discovered, then there must be some powerful volcanic activity below the surface. It is quite possible that fragments could have erupted from Mars, a few missing Earth and eventually dying out, but the rest delivering some species of life to Earth. Although I don't support it completely, it does seem acceptable and quite plausible. I believe there could be another source, one with greater intelligence that MAY have evolved into humans or animals. I hope that I was able to help! Please contact me with any comments. Religion can become very debated, and I agree with you on some levels, that it does get way too ridiculous with all the misinterpretations of the Bible.

Answer 3

In all truth, I myself call myself an American. However, it is wuite easy to trace my lineage back to a different country. Therefore, the only thing defining me as an American is the fact that I was born here. I was born on Earth, and so far as I know, no person on Earth can say otherwise, thus we are all Earthlings. Second, although our evolutionary ancestors could have possibly come from Mars, we are not in fact our evolutionary ancestors and are very different from them. This would be like saying that Benjamin Franklin invented the computer I am typing on, because he identified and harnessed electricity, a quite necessary component for the computer to work. Finally if you still insist on trying to say that a vague possible link exists between humans and a martian lifeform, I must quote Carl Sagan. "We are all starstuff." The molecules that comprise Earth originated somewhere far beyond our solar system. If you go with popular theory, the molecules in your body once were expelled in an explosion now known as the Big Bang. Thus, our molecules have mingled with those of everything else in the universe. "We are all starstuff." We can thus claim lineage to any place in the universe we choose. We are on Earth, were born on Earth, and save some miraculous discovery as to how humans can survive on an extraterrestrial planet, will continue to live on Earth for some time. Thus we are Earthlings.

Answer 4

Many scientists, including Nobel prize winning geneticists, believe the earth was "seeded" from extra terrestrial sources.

The REASON they believe this, is because random evolution makes the existence of the protein strains neccesary for life a ridiculous improbability considering earth's age and environment. By widening the pool of resources to "the infinite universe" they can make the statistics of evolution mathematically plausible.

Of course, the odds are still ridiculous if the size of the known/visible universe, rather than an infinite universe is the source of the alien life forms. For a good explanation of the math, read "A Short History of Nearly Everything, by Bill Bryson".

I myself prefer to believe the source of life is an Infinite God, rather than an infinite Universe, but maybe they are the same thing.

Answer 5

Its possible that life on Earth could have been "seeded" by other lifeforms from other planets.

However, calling us martians in like calling the English language French, or calling Chinese people Russians. Just because it is possible that one is a descendant of another does not mean that that one is the same as its ancestor.

But yes, it is possible. I would like to remind everyone the chance of such a thing happening are equal to being struck by lightning twice while riding a unicycle on your birthday after winning 5 state lotteries 10 weeks in a row. VERY unlikely, but possible.

Answer 6

It is very likely that the first "living" material was formed in space. Microscopic dustparticals in combination with various gasses and water that hang around in space under influence of strong UV light in a vacuum seems to be the most likely source of life as we know it now. Mars has been a desert for about 4 billion years (if i remember well) and earth only came around 4,5 billion years ago, but in the early years there was no possiblity of life here. Humanity started to develop some millions years ago on earth. It"s vey likely to me that life comes from somewhere out there, but not mars.

Answer 7

With God all things are possible. Even God. God=>Universe. Eh Hem. Maybe the Martians wrote the Bible?The American Indians have said that they were taught that there is Father Sky and Mother Earth. Same=Same OK? One day science will prove everything is possible even the truth between the lines or lies.

Answer 8

Yes it is quite possible. Darwin said that he thought life arose in a "warm little pond" many billions of years ago. and it is not at all impossible that that warm little pond was on Mars. One thing is for certain, life must have arisen in a high Phosphorus, high Iron pond, since our kind of life uses huge amounts of these two elements, far more than is found in any ponds on Earth. Mars may well be the most likely point of origin.

Answer 9

I don't recall ever hearing about Mars exploding (beyond being hit by asteroids itself), but there is a theory (I believe called panspermia?) about the "ingredients" of life deposited on the Earth by comets and meteorites. So, yes, it is possible - but personally, I don't see why it matters if the ingredients came from a comet, or developed right here on Earth.

Answer 10

its possible but some say that in very small circles and their usally called lunatics but that humans originially came from mars and destroyed the planet and then resettled on earth and put aside there horrible technology several african tribes say they came from the stars as well as the ancient babylonians and kept clay tablet records of this but only 3 men can translate them only one say that there talk about space travel and super technology the other two disagree and there you have it theorys and conjecture i say it is posiblle anything is possible if you can imagine it happeing then infact it could have happened so says i who is to tell
