Scientists have long hoped to find life on Mars. But one study suggests it’s even more uninhabitable than previously thought.

Salt minerals found on the Martian surface kill bacteria in just a few minutes. Scientists originally thought the minerals weren’t a problem because they need heat to activate them and Mars is cold. But research shows all they need to become active is UV light. This means any bacterial life on Mars would be killed right away.

Mars was never designed for life. Earth was. That’s why we find life in every place on earth, but can’t find it anywhere else. The Bible is right—earth was formed to be inhabited.
