Is there life on mars?

      AS THE QUESTION HAS BEEN RAISED TIME AND TIME AGAIN, THE POSSIBILITY OF THE ORIGIN OF THE

EXISTENCE OF LIFE ON THIS PLANET COMING FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE IN THE UNIVERSE HAS ALWAYS REMAINED IN THE BACKGROUND OF THE ENTIRE

"ORIGIN OF LIFE" PICTURE.   AS OF RECENT SCIENTIFIC EXPLORATION AND FINDINGS, A METEOR FROM MARS

(SUSPECTED) , RECOVERED FROM ANTARCTICA, HAS POSSIBLE REMAINS OF MICROSCOPIC LIFE ENCASED

WITHIN.   DUE TO THESE FINDINGS, A GROUP OF SCIENTISTS HAVE BEGUN FULLY BACKING THE IDEA THAT THESE MICROBES WERE POSSIBLY RELATED TO

MICROBES WHICH LANDED ON THE PRE – REVOLUTIONARY EARTH AND EVOLVED INTO THE MANY

LIFE FORMS THAT EXIST ON THIS PLANET TODAY.

WE CAME FROM MARS
