    There are people who believe we moved from Mars to Earth hundreds of thousands of years ago because we made it the dusty, uninhabitable planet it is today.

    It seems really far-fetched, and the theory is full of obvious problems. But then you see news like this and can’t help but wonder…

    (My heart goes out to all of you who became so terribly offended by this.)

      It’s far fetched because there’s literally no evidence of this anywhere other than someone’s imagination.

          I get it. I once spent half an hour looking for the remote which I had left in the fridge.
