CHAPTER

Is There Life on Mars?

There is no conflict with the christian faith if there's life on mars, or any other planet. The fact we know that god created intelligent beings more than just once means that we shouldn't dismiss the idea of other intelligent biological creatures like us. An alternative view is that life originated elsewhere in the universe and then came here. If it arose on mars first, it could have been carried here by meteorites and then taken hold in earth's more favorable climate. There is even a theory known as pan spermia which holds that microbial life is common throughout the universe,. It travels on comets and asteroids, in meteoroids, seeding new planets as they form.
