Scientific searches for evidence of life began in the 19th century and continue today via telescopic investigations and deployed probes, searching for water, chemical biosignatures in the soil and rocks at the planet's surface, and biomarker gases in the atmosphere. Cumulative evidence suggests that during the ancient Noachian time period, the surface environment of Mars had liquid water and may have been habitable for microorganisms, but habitable conditions do not necessarily indicate life. To date, no proof of past or present life has been found on Mars. The possibility of life on Mars is a subject of interest in astrobiology due to the planet's proximity and similarities to Earth. ![]() ![]() ![]() This reverential SURRENDER to God, loving Him above all else….this trust in Him and His ways, believing Him….this SEEKING Him above all else is “the fear of the Lord.”īut, a “fool” does it “her own way.” A fool is stubborn. “ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Proverbs 1:32 says, “For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them.” The foolish path, however, brings destruction. ![]() Wisdom brings many rewards- victory, protection, blessing, and peace.
