Creation Moment 7/18/2024 - Gale Crater tells us......

Mars bears marks of being watered covered because.....all the planets were likely created the same way---covered by water at the outset.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Genesis 1:2

"In a new study, planetary scientists found strong similarities between soils found in Gale Crater on Mars and those of Canada’s

Newfoundland, a cold subarctic climate. The soils and rocks of Gale Crater provide a record of Mars’ climate between 3 and 4 billion years ago, during a time of relatively abundant water on the planet — and the same time period that saw life first appear on Earth.

“Gale Crater is a paleo lakebed — there was obviously water present. But what were the environmental conditions when the water was there?” said Dr. Anthony Feldman, a soil scientist and geomorphologist at Desert Research Institute."
