A question about the planet mars?

[Sal_Monella]

Was Mars once in the Habitable Zone in our solar system, because of its orbit or the sun's hotness in the past? Some scientists claim Mars had flowing water and oceans. Is it possible Mars had advanced civilization millions or billions of years ago? I'm hoping one of the rovers comes across some shaped or carved thingy that had to be formed by intelligence. Since G0d is eternal, why not?

Mars is not in the habital zone but that does not mean it can't have running water or even a livable biome. The habital zone is more of a guideline than a rule and the location of mars outside of the habital is not why it is a barren rock today.

To put it simply, the reason why Mars is dead is because the sun has stripped its atmosphere away. Earth is protected by our magnetic field where as Mars magnetic field is much weaker.

And no, there is no signs of any major life on Mars. At most it would be stuff like bacteria.

Yes, there was life on Mars. Some say there still is but it's all underground.
One story says we came from Mars. A very long time ago there were two warring races in another solar system around the area of the star Aries. One race, those that were being attacked, decided to leave their planet and find another to live in peace so, they secretly left their planet and eventually landed on Mars and set up shop there for a good long time until the other race from Aries found them, came to Mars and continued the war with them. Again, after a long time, the one race secretly left Mars and came here. Agan, we lived in peace for a long time until the Arians found out we left, and where we went, and then came here to continue the war. They became the Germans, also known as the Aryan race.

Mars did have more temperate conditions in the early solar system, potentially hosting liquid water approximately 3.5–4 billion years ago. However, current exploration results have yet to reveal any artificial structures or traces of intelligent life. The emergence of civilization requires a stable environment and prolonged evolution, and Mars likely didn't have time to reach that stage.

No. The wet phase on mars was probably too short to develop an intelligent civilization. On earth it took 3 billion years of evolution. Mars had just 1 billion years life friendly environment until water and atmosphere of mars got lost into space vacuum due weakening of magnetic field of mars.

It's doubtful that Mars was ever home to intelligent life. Hey, doubtful does not mean impossible. But I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for confirmation of that discovery.

[DrPepper12]

It only had those things until it lost its magnetic field... Then it's atmosphere... Then... ☠️

[Twalli]

There is ice on Mars. If it was hotter, then it would have water. I highly doubt there is intelligent life out there in the universe.

Where do you think all the martians came from?
