Water Flows Discovered on Mars?

[Dexter Sinister]

You're still wrong.

Accretion collisions? These same collisions must account for the vast accumulations of dust and chunks in the corners of your big square head. It is of course a tragedy that such a learned man like you should adhere to such obsolete junk science.

On them darkbeaver .. on them.
They don't admit they are defeated. This is natural and expected.

I don't envy you because you started the same post that I said before you; this does not mean anything to me; but it points out to their dislike of the Quran: because my post was certainly linked to the Glorious Quran: the word of God.

No, it points out that I didn't look hard enough to see if others had posted it first.

Anyhow, you Tonington together with the others, said and defended before that there is no water on Mars and when I said: it is logical and gave many hints to that, you refused and insisted that there is no possibility except may be some billions of years ago.

I wonder, what the Quran says about telling lies? Maybe you actually believe what you are saying is true, but it's not. I have not refused the possibility of water on Mars. This post ought to clear that up:

Or warming.

Science doesn't deal in absolutes, that is left to ancient texts written by ignorant folk. Every measurement has uncertainty.



"The volume fraction of water is generally higher than can be accommodated in the pore space of surface soils, which implies that water vapor diffusion processes alone cannot explain the observations. Alternatives for the formation of the water-rich layer are discussed.

Results of our analysis of the residual-cap CO2 inventory support conclusions that the atmosphere is not buffered by a larger reservoir of surface CO2 at the poles and that Mars' total CO2 inventory is well represented by the present atmospheric mass."

No, what it indicates is that there is substantial water below the Martian surface which cannot at present be explained, and that the carbon dioxide ice which forms at the poles is transient. The frozen carbon dioxide in the poles is seasonal.

See? I never refused or insisted that water on Mars is impossible.

While now all of a sudden you came next morning and said : Water is now flowing on Mars!

No I didn't. I clearly cautioned in the title that it's a possibility, as well as in my posts. I refered to it as a hypothesis. I used a question mark in the title.

And if so, why do you insist on your refusal of the existence of people on Mars?

I don't refuse the existence of people on Mars, I refute it because there is no evidence of people on Mars.

The Vatican has no issues with aliens on Mars.

BBC NEWS | Europe | Vatican says aliens could exist

Father Funes says the universe is so vast that other life forms may exist



The Pope's chief astronomer says that life on Mars cannot be ruled out.
Writing in the Vatican newspaper, the astronomer, Father Gabriel Funes, said intelligent beings created by God could exist in outer space.

Father Funes, director of the Vatican Observatory near Rome, is a respected scientist who collaborates with universities around the world.

The search for forms of extraterrestrial life, he says, does not contradict belief in God.
The official Vatican newspaper headlines his article 'Aliens Are My Brother'.
'
Free from sin'
Just as there are multiple forms of life on earth, so there could exist intelligent beings in outer space created by God. And some aliens could even be free from original sin, he speculates.

Asked about the Catholic Church's condemnation four centuries ago of the Italian astronomer and physicist, Galileo, Father Funes diplomatically says mistakes were made, but it is time to turn the page and look towards the future.

Science and religion need each other, and many astronomers believe in God, he assures readers. To strengthen its scientific credentials, the Vatican is organising a conference next year to mark the 200th anniversary of the birth of the author of the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin.
