It's official: Primitive life could have lived on ancient Mars, NASA says.

A sample of Mars drilled from a rock by NASA's Curiosity rover and then studied by onboard instruments "shows ancient Mars could have supported living microbes," NASA officials announced today (March 12) in a statement and press conference.

The discovery comes just seven months after the Curiosity rover landed on Mars to spend at least two years determining if the planet could have ever supported primitive life.

Wouldn't it be great if they find some fossils - a skeleton or a shell ....

Non-news. We have known for some time that Mars could have supported life. It would only be news if they find evidence of it being there.

Except now we have concrete evidence for that theory

(CNN) -- Dusty and desolate Mars once had conditions favorable for microbial life, NASA scientists announced Tuesday.
The conclusion was based on the Curiosity rover's analysis of a rock sample drawn from an ancient stream bed on the Red Planet.
The sample contained sulfur, nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and carbon -- "some of the key chemical ingredients for life," NASA said.
"We have characterized a very ancient, but strangely new 'gray Mars' where conditions once were favorable for life," said John Grotzinger, Mars Science Laboratory project scientist at the California Institute of Technology.

Ok, so they found elements that are common throughout the universe, and they found evidence of surface water in the past. This is still nothing I haven't heard before and is still not news. Basically, NASA have nothing much to say at the moment, but are trying to keep up public interest. That's fair enough, but it's not a big deal.

Mashallah allah exists mashallah. The quran says that there are many lifeforms that are unseen to the human eye. As you can see, the quran predicted scientific discoveries, 1400 years ago! How miraculous! May this strengthen my faith, ameen!
