Okay so what do you think the evolutionist will do with this one?

Duh! it's only like 300 degrees below zero!
so why wouldn't there be ice
how does that prove there was life

Do yall remember that UPC pastor that used that
picture of mars to prove there was life there ???
It looked like a face

I don't think it is that cold there. But thoughts of total recall are coming back to me

I thought that space and the planets all were of
extreme temperatures -no?

It depends on how far from the Sun they are for starters. Also how much atmosphere they have to trap the rays

Liquid water cannot exist on the surface of Mars with its present low atmospheric pressure, except at the lowest elevations for short periods[11][12] but water ice is in no short supply, with two polar ice caps made largely of ice.[13] In March 2007, NASA announced that the volume of water ice in the south polar ice cap, if melted, would be sufficient to cover the entire planetary surface to a depth of 11 metres.[14] Additionally, an ice permafrost mantle stretches down from the pole to latitudes of about 60°.[13]

Right, the phase curve for water shows at the current atmospheric pressure doesn't allow for ice to exist as liquid, just gas and water.

The phase diagram here shows the where what pressure water begins to convert to liquid, the area that only has a single red line (the bottom of the curve) shows where only sublimation can occur.

They are all extreme compared to Earth.

You officially win the dumbest question of the year award....

Ice indicates the propensity for organic matter, thus it is possible for life.

Evolutionists

<--- people think we don't believe in creation.

You want to be a psychiatrist and then you belittle people with statements like that? Contempt always show that one thinks he is better than the other. I do not see the love of Christ in your statements?
