Nasa's veteran Curiosity rover has found complex organic matter buried and preserved in ancient sediments that formed a vast lake bed on Mars more than 3bn years ago.
The discovery is the most compelling evidence yet that long before the planet became the parched world it is today, Martian lakes were a rich soup of carbon-based compounds that are necessary for life, at least as we know it.
Researchers cannot tell how the organic material formed and so leave open the crucial question: are the compounds remnants of past organisms; the product of chemical reactions with rocks; or were they brought to Mars in comets or other falling debris that slammed into the surface? All look the same in the tests performed.
..... "While we don't know the source of the material, the amazing consistency of the results makes me think we have a slam-dunk signal for organics on Mars," Eigenbrode added.

[Of course Flat Earthers know there is no Rover on no Mars}
That's quite a discovery cc.

Almost assured. They keep finding them in goldilocks zones. We just can't reach them yet.
Plus it's been demonstrated that Earth and other planets get bombarded by non terrestrial organisms from space.

No way.
If God were to create only one planet with life, I imagine it would have been better than this.

We can't even take care of our own planet. Even IF they found ways to create an atmosphere there and grow food and have a water source, the only people going there are the elite.Quote from: "Berry Sweet"
I disagree with the first part, but you are right about the second. The planet takes care of us, not vice versa.

We would still live in mud-huts if it were up to the multicultural enrichers.

I was being a depressing pessimist...
Its a mathematical certainty that there is some form of life elsewhere.
