And you can't look at terra-forming on Mars (from ancient times) and not come to the conclusion it wasn't made by running liquid water. Plus Jupiter's moon Europa is completely ice covered.

This changes everything. At their conference today, NASA scientist Felisa Wolfe Simon will announce that they have found a bacteria whose DNA is completely alien to what we know today. Instead of using phosphorus, the bacteria uses arsenic. All life on Earth is made of six components: carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur. Every being, from the smallest amoeba to the largest whale, share the same life stream.
