Creation Moment 8/4/2016 - Planet Series: MARS

"MARS is the famous “red planet”, and is not surprisingly named after the Roman god of war.
 
Mars is only about half the diameter of Earth, and one tenth the mass. In fact, it is roughly intermediate in size between the earth and our moon. Mars itself has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, but they are much tinier than our moon and orbit much closer.
 
 *Giovanni Schiaparelli (1835–1910), who claimed that he had found long straight lines on Mars that he called canali. This is actually Italian for “channels”, but was mistranslated “canals”, yet he
didn’t rule out that they might be artificial. This inspired American businessman and astronomer Percival Lowell (1855–1916) to study Mars extensively, and he thought that the “canals” were built by an intelligent civilization to tap the polar icecaps, which he thought was the last source of water for a dying world. But Vincenzo Cerulli (1859–1927) showed that these canals/channels didn’t even exist, but were an optical illusion.
 
*Yet although there is no water on Mars now, there are many features on Mars that point to huge floods in its history. There is also evidence for glacial movement, sedimentary processes, and even geysers. Secular scientists even refer to a “Noachian epoch” on Mars, named after the southern land mass Noachis Terra, in turn meaning “land of Noah”.
At the very least, many scientists agree that Mars was once much wetter. In 2001, NASA announced, 
Yet water could not have lasted long without evaporating in the low pressure, and there is no known limestone, which surely would have formed in a watery world with a CO2-rich atmosphere.
 
Since Mars is not that much further from the sun than Earth, and is freezing, it shows how finely God tuned the earth’s orbit to support life." CMI

whom he hath appointed heir of all things,
by whom also he made the worlds;
