Did NASA Actually Discover Evidence of Life on Mars?

In the video below, you’ll see what was really found (spoiler: it wasn’t life!), and it’s a great example of the importance of reading past the headline. These sensational headlines are often very misleading, exaggerating what was really discovered by taking scientific claims and making a giant leap.

What NASA scientists really found was, well, rocks with spots on them! They think this might be evidence that there was life on our nearest planetary neighbor billions of years ago . . . and from that possibility, they infer that maybe life started there and ended up here and thus we’re all descendants of Martians! (It’s not just headlines making giant leaps from the evidence!)

You can hear all my thoughts about this new find in the video below.

Next time you see a headline that contradicts what we’d expect starting with God’s Word, read past the headline! You’ll probably find the actual research was much more tentative than the headline suggests or that it was just filled with evolutionary interpretation.

Watch the video, but I doubt you will get excited about spots on rocks.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
