Reply to comment by PlayfulParamedic2626 in NASA discovery reveals there may have been life on Mars by Genevieves_bitch

I don't care about a single possible cell. Show me a group of possible cell and show me that they were eating something in the rock and show me the poop.

Hwat are you talking about. Cells=life. Chemical soup is not life unless it has a cell wall of some sort.

Our definitions of life match what we've seen, not what it must be.

I'd think that if we saw evidence of some sort of amorphous autonomous chemical soup on another planet moving around and making decisions, we might have to start reconsidering some things.

Self replicating Campbell’s soup, it would be endless soup.

I always thought about how when we say “nothing can live in _______” that we could only say that because we can’t imagine what could live in places we see as uninhabitable for us.
