Well, the problem with "life" is that there is no absolute standard for
complexity. I remember reading somewhere that a simple bacteria has around
900 feedback paths from the chemical environment to how the DNA is
transcribed. To a control systems engineer, 6 feedback paths is already too
many. 900 is ... way too complex.

How complex is "complex"? 900? 6? More? Less?

By some standard of complexity, the evolution of something like man on earth
may be no more remarkable than water boiling is for us.

The people who believe that there can only be life on earth and that God
created it directly ... um ... I don't think so. Life is probably no more
special than water boiling, just at a higher order of complexity.

You didn't check the link, did you?  That link shows absolute proof of
water on
Mars, and also shows irrefutable proof of intelligent design.

I did now.  Ha.  Ha.

Sometimes they just jump in the boat.  ;^)

the proof is not quite correct as there are two Marses (look
carefully, someone pointed it out to me too). we still need to see on
a single Mars
Smile

There could be a second Mars that we can't see, just like that second Earth
that is on the directly opposite side of the Sun.
