Was this not posted earlier today already? Mars is definitely not 2-4mya, it's formation may have occurred over that time frame but it is billions of years old

Sir I searched this Forum with every tool available to me.

I will look at the credentials of the author of the Article.

If I am incorrect then I owe everyone an apology.
Perhaps I read the article wrongg,,,perhaps the guy who wrote it is an idiot.

Any way you look at it ,,,It is I who must suffer??
How do I screen my news?
Who should I listen to?
What is that I smell cooking in the kitchen,,
come and gti it,,,,,,

It may have been a victim of sub-editing, where a vital phrase just fell out.

Unfortunately, too few reporters & editors have even a glimmering of scientific education...

Indeed, articles like this could be easily misread to mean that Mars formed to its present state over the past 3my.

This was posted earlier today, it's been deleted by the looks of it.

The article was actually regarding the formation of Mars, not the life span. Exceedingly misleading thread title both in the original deleted thread and this one. Although at least you are asking a question not just posting an article under a false title.
