The FACE on MARS.

[HeavyDutyGuy]

It's just a random formation that your mind perceives as a "face". We are "prewired" to recognize faces and anything that comes close to that pattern is going to be recognized as a "face". I also have one in the stucco stuff on my ceiling, but I'm pretty sure Martians didn't put it there.

Might not be a face, but if you read my above post, and took the visual facts of the land formation into consideration, you have to see that it doesn't seem natural. Face or not.

LOL @ HeavyDuty's Martian Stucco Face!!!

Matt-- true there is nothing saying the all species have to look the same. However, there are certain things that, based on laws of the universe (physics and such) are bound to be ubiquitous. Bi-lateral symmetry would be one such thing. Certainly life forms COULD have horizontal symmetry, but unless you're floating in open space, there would be extreme disadvantages. If a creature is walking on a planet, what would be the point of having feet on top of you as well as on bottom.

This is just a long-winded analogy as to why, in my opinion, it is LIKELY that alien species would have physical similarities to humans.

BTW... if life evolved just as easily in all environments (extreme heat/cold, methane atmoshperes, tremendous gravitation, etc), then why didn't it evolve on other planets in our system? Instead, it only evolved on a planet with very moderate climates and abundant oxygen and nitrogen.

Panspermia

Panspermia is (very basically) the theory that life (earth life) evolved elsewhere and arrived on this planet through 'bacterial spores' in space.
