I am optimistic that life does in fact exist elsewhere. I just think that particular statement is unfounded. Perhaps you were speaking only of the earth, in which case my comment does not apply.

Which statement are you referring to?

Sorry, I wasn't very clear on that, was I?

You made the statement "Where there is water there is generally life". I was pointing out that we only know that about one planet in the entire cosmos and the sampling is just too small to make such a statement, but it is certainly true of the earth.

What if we find there fossils of apes and humans common ancestor?

Then we would have a new piece of information about the origins of the human species..........
I think because Mars does not have the magnetic field that the earth does to block the radiation, it has been barren for a very long time, perhaps since it's formation. No way to know for certain at this point.
If there is or was life, it probably would be microbial and subterranean. But maybe some day we will be able to answer that question definitively.

Oh ok. That makes sense now. Yes ,I was referring to life on earth.
