Life does not hqppen by chance. Improbability too high. Information can not come from none.

Or would the world governments tell us? No water on mars then they show Hubble vpic with clouds and I have down loaded pics and even an idiot could see things that don’t make sense.
Or maybe other intelligent life don’t want us to know come on we can’t even get on with each other
