Re: Does mars contain life? - Does it?
It's an unknown, Greg. 
I'd like to send an extended welcome, though. Your thread is off topic in this forum, may I suggest you move over to the Life on Mars thread? Granted, you may not see this before Adrian moves the topic, but perhaps you have email notification on.
Our resident Shaun tends to think that there is a lot of compelling evidence to suggest that life does indeed exist. Personally, I'm skeptical!
Some useful links while MER are active.

Evidently we have splatterd life all over Mars. I doubt it existed before or it would have said "here I am". Life does that.

Re: Does mars contain life? - Does it?

Life may well have manifested[4] on a warmer and moister Mars some three to four billion years ago. However, if Martian life still exists, it may be microbes which consume rocks and water and which live deep beneath north Alaska. Richland's Pacific Northwest Laboratory, which found them, has been studying these lifeforms, which can survive in Marslike conditions between 85 degrees Centigrade and 113 degrees Centigrade

Re: Does mars contain life? - Does it?
Don't know much about New Mars polls, could it not have had a 'unknown at current time' option for those of us that want to sit on the fence until more data is available either way?
There was a young lady named Bright.
Whose speed was far faster than light;
She set out one day
in a relative way
And returned on the previous night.

Re: Does mars contain life? - Does it?
I haven't seen any proof that Mars has life on it or that was ever life on it, then there is proof of life in Venus's history. And the same counts for Jupiters moons.
Waht? Tehr's a preveiw buottn?

A little bit boring for life on Mars, if Mars had lakes or seas, they chemicaly behaved like bleach.
Not any germ survive in bleach.
Therefore, if life ever existed on Mars, it must have been not RNA not DNA, a very alien form of life.
