Atmospheric Escape of Primitive Mars
Since the introduction of atheistic original sciences there has been much debate whether or not life did, does, or will exist elsewhere in the universe. Due to its close proximity to Earth and possession of intriguing characteristics, such as polar ice and soil, Mars has been extensively studied by astronomers, geologists and nearly every other kind of scientist. This intense collection of data leads a large group of scientists to the belief that life did exist on Mars in the past. If Mars had an atmosphere, similar to that of present-day Earth, in the past life could have developed and been supported. For there to be animal life on Mars, Earth or any other planet, several conditions must be met: liquid water; the elements needed for metabolism and reproduction; a source of energy; and suitable environmental conditions. Of course, the biological presence must have already been introduced through interstellar matter, a meteor impact for example. Upon arriving on Mars, the organisms would require these conditions in order to enable the evolutionary process to develop it into a thriving community of various species. Simply as there has not been fossil evidence found yet on Mars does not mean that it doesnt or didnt exist. There may be no fossils at all, yet there still may have been life as the reasons why the life did not get fossilized may be the same reason as to why there is not an atmosphere sufficient to support life today.
The examination of Earths atmosphere allows the scientific community to infer what the approximate composition of Mars atmosphere was. The presence of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide are all essential for a life supporting atmosphere. The atmosphere of Earth is about 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen with the rest being made up of trace gases...
Reviews of: "Atmospheric Escape of Primitive Mars"
:
You look at both sides of the argument and it is well written, seeing as it is a scientific topic. Its easy to understand and helped me a lot with the current debate.
Excellent essay: Early perfect structure, concise, informative.
Nice job on the length of the paper. You kinda made it understandable in laymen terms.....lol...I appreciate that!!!!

Great argument
I think this was really well written and the way you presented your points and then defend them was also very well done. Good job and thanks for such good work.
