Life evolving on Earth has been compared to a twister going through a > junk yard and leaving in its wake a fully operational 747 airplane (complete > with cupholders!)......are we to believe that this has happened on Mars as > well....or do we believe in a "seed" from Mars landing on primordial Earth?
