Ergo, we killed the dinosaurs.
Dinos - 0
Humans - 1

Yeah, no, that's not how this kind of thing works. This planet has been through MUCH worse abuse than us and come out the other side well enough to keep life flourishing. Unless the Earth's core solidifies, our magnetic field disappears, and our atmosphere is ejected into space, there is absolutely no way it will become like Mars in the next 1000 years.
I don't get it. This has been said for a very, very long time, why is it news now? Nothing's actually been discovered, so what makes this significant.
The most viable hypothesis right now is the RNA world hypothesis.
The last major breakthrough is that RNA can act as an enzyme when the right conditions are met.

If lightning strikes water in an oxygen free environment some of the water turns into protein chains. all we need to figure out is how you go from random protein chains floating in water to single celled organisms

[QUOTE=IceWarrior98;42003458]So the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs is from Mars and contained us?[/QUOTE]
Very unlikely. That would mean that two planets in our solar system both formed life independently. If lizards came from dinosaurs, then why is human structure so similar to lizards? The asteroid from mars may have brought life to Earth, not any large species of animal.
So, the Alien Master from X-Com: UFO was true to it's words?

So Mars Attacks is actually an extremely ancient documentary? Except with single-cell organisms.

Every time someone says this, they deserve a punch in the throat. It's just so annoying whenever someone goes ahead and says "Huh? Well I thought this was common knowledge!" Fucking when have researchers, astronomers, and scientists gotten together and said "It's agreed that the possibility of life on Earth somehow came from Mars is very likely, and everyone will know about this." Of course, the possibility of it happening is there (although how exactly it happened is a different question altogether,) but people just need to stop saying this.

It will take a lot longer than 1000 years to devastate the planet to the point of mars.
Although I remember in the cold war era when the US and USSR were stocking up chemical weapons, they said the amount of chemicals could kill all living life on this planet... so...

Fun fact: the earth's central core is solid (but the rest of it is molten.
So it's not like a caramel hershey's kiss.
So...
We really are the sons of Mars?
Does that mean.. The Rome Total War intro is right?

yes we'll somehow stop the fucking massive core, turn the atmosphere into mostly CO2 and literally destroy the entire surface
no

Over enough time, the chances of literally anything is one to one. Earth and Mars have been around for a longass time.

That's very statistical though. It would be honestly very hard or impossible to kill all living life on this planet using those chemical reserves.
Come home white man.
[QUOTE=markg06;42005397]Fucking suck it nerds, got your shit pushed in by martians.[/QUOTE]
But....technically, we ARE martians
I said it before and I'll say it again.
The chances of anything coming from mars, are a million to one he said.
[QUOTE=meppers;42003073]we always feared of a martian invasion,
but what we didn't know was that we ourselves were the invaders[/QUOTE]
oh god what if we were sent to this planet to destroy it by farming out all of the precious materials from it
then move onto another at some point in time
leaving Earth, like Mars?
scary.

Absolutely not going to happen. Especially not in a very, very short amount of time like a 1000 years.
If we really manage to completely destroy all life on Earth by climate change Earth would end up like Venus, not like Mars.
Mars has 100% not been destroyed by any kind of life. It was destroyed by the sun itself, it can't protect itself from the sun because, unlike Earth, it doesn't have a magnetic field.
If there really was any life on Mars at any point it was only bacteria and shit. No larger organisms or even civilizations.
Read the bible, the answers are all there. Noah built the ark on Mars (a space ship). Mars flooded and so he sailed his ass to earth. Myth busted.

Its a long lyric. Also I'm not sure your statement is true.
just curious, has this theory been around for a while? I learned that this happened through a documentary I saw two years ago I think? not trying to be all "this is common knowledge" or anything
I think the theory has been around for a while, and we're just finding new information about it.
