The possibility that intelligent life once The Search for Water on Marsīecause its similarities to Earth held out These realities can help astronomers avoid rabbit trails and begin making sense of the evidence. Then the whole cosmos came under God’s judgment because of Adam’s sin (see Genesis 3 and Romans 8:22). Genesis 1, inĬontrast, informs us that the Creator formed all the planets on Day Four of Creation Week, just a few thousand years ago. The one infallible source of truth about planetary history, secular astronomers assume the universe is old. If the assumptions are wrong, the conclusions will be wrong. The search is hampered by a glaring flaw in their theories. Yet despite our ever-increasing knowledge of the Red Instruments to help solve these very questions. The spacecraft and rovers sent to Mars over the past five years are equipped with next-generation So how did it ever produce and sustain an ocean and a thick atmosphere? Mars is currently too cold and its atmosphere is too thin to support Where did all this liquid water come from, and why did it disappear? These are two of the greatest That some of this water is locked up in subsurface permafrost and the rest has escaped into space.
