Tell Me the Truth. Is There Life on Earth?

 

Reflection: #11

 
Mars-Nessy: my correspondent on mars.

  ... Mars Nessy approaches the Mars Rover after its landing on Mars and asks:  

"Have you really come from Earth to visit me and take pictures of me? Are you truly an extraterrestrial?"  "I wouldn't have thought there was intelligent life on another planet if I hadn't come from Mars. Tell me that not everything on Earth is underwater. Can you live with so much water? How do you breathe when it rains?"  "Do all creatures have six wheels like you, or are there more beautiful ones like me—someone who doesn't need wheels or legs to move?"  

 

"Tell me the truth: Do you believe in God like I do?" 

"I mean the one true God who created us here, on this habitable and life-filled planet, Mars. Only here is the one form of intelligent life created by God, capable of thought. We are the only species that can go from one hot rock to another without resting.

Sitting on a hot rock and absorbing the sun's accumulated heat is the most pleasant thing for us. There, we thank our God all day for giving us warmth. 

Do you suffer much from all that humidity, or are there places where it never rains? 

This should be paradise. Hot and dry. You call this place a desert. Paradise on Earth is called a desert.  I will dream of this Earth desert during my next hibernation.  When it's cold here on Mars, we sleep under a rock, sometimes for six months.

Then, in spring, the sun warms our cells with its rays, and we start moving again. 

But tell me everything. You were created by a God like ours, but not like me from biological materials—yours are iron and plastic. 

God is powerful. He also creates life from iron, metal, and plastic.

I always knew there was more life in this universe.

I knew it, but we are forbidden to think or believe in it. 

But tell me everything..."
