I'm not talking about the ancient belief that there was intelligent life in Mars (caused by the mistaken notion that the canals that were visible by telescope had running water in them, and had to be man made), I am talking about the modern knowledge that there more than likely was microbial life in meteorites from Mars, known to the scientists that studied them, for a long time now.
I'm not sure where you got the idea that I believed that there is intelligent life on Mars.
I do know some people believe that the 'face' on Mars is thought to be 'man'-made by some groups, but I don't share that belief.
