It's important to note that the Earth had life as soon as it became habitable. Not as soon as it was formed.

The discussion centers on the possibility of past life on Mars, with participants expressing skepticism about the existence of advanced life forms. While some acknowledge the potential for microbial life, they argue that Mars lacks the geological and atmospheric conditions necessary for life to thrive, unlike Earth, which benefits from unique processes like plate tectonics and the stabilizing influence of its moon. The presence of fossilized structures in Martian meteorites is debated, with some asserting they are evidence of past life, while others suggest they could be non-biological formations. Concerns are raised about the lack of significant atmospheric changes on Mars, which would typically indicate biological activity. Overall, the consensus leans towards the unlikelihood of complex life on Mars, though microbial life cannot be entirely dismissed.
