Life on Mars ? by Bryan Lytle These are the following reasons, why it is a fact, that Mars is a place of life and aged civilizations. There is life on Mars, because not all life is carbon based, intelligent life exists, and civilzations can thrive in an underground environment. Not all life is **carbon-based**, meaning the two most important characteristics of carbon as a basis for life, are that it has four valence bonds, and that the energy required to make or break a bond is just at an appropriate level for building molecules which are not only stable, but also reactive, therfore and probably making C.B.L. (Carbon Based Life). The other life-forms to possibly exist, are ElectroMagnetic, Nitrogen-Phosphorous, Boron, Sulfur, Arsenic, Chlorine (as a salt), Selenium, Tellurium, among many, many others. As such we have already created a primitive form of S.B.L. (Silicon Based Life), refering to the many computing devices at home, and probably have with you at this moment, as silicon is key in the production of all contemperary electronic devices. Noting that Silicon is a naturally occuring, one could argue that it is not artificial intelligence that we have created, but in fact a programmable natural intelligence. Secondly; certainly any intelligent life that had existed __**on**__ Mars, would have already noticed the warlike culture of the humans and would have rushed underground, but if someone says that they ( Martians ) might have developed slower than us, that is probably a bunch of hooey, because Mars is about 100 million years older than earth! This is true, as it is, about a 100 million year difference (Earths 4.5 billion years vs. Mars' 4.6 billion years). Thirdly, any Humanoid civilization, with the correct equipment and technology could not only survive, but thrive in an underground environment; as if one was underground, "it" would be unaffected by the atmospheric status of the surface. To conclude, it has been said that even if life does not exist on the surface of Mars, it can certainly thrive underground being that "they" are probably far more sophisticated, than us puny humans. To say to the nasayers of the argument, look at all the exotic places that life is found on Earth, consider that a sign that life is not a standard, but a universal normalcy. This being said to all that who are reading this, consider what has just been said, open the mind, heart, and maybe even the soul, do the independent research, that is always needed to come to the full, absolute, and honest truth, and when the action is finished come to me with that open mind, heart, and soul, and proclaim to this, the truth, "**Am being foundeth, unto the truth**" !
