No evidence of life has been found on Mars yet. Well, that’s the view of Joseph Michalski, an associate professor of earth sciences at the University of Hong Kong, who spoke to Live Science.

Mars microbial life would be unlikely to have much of a theological impact, Peters told LiveScience. Most religious traditions hold that life is the creation of God, but don't commit to an exact ...
