aa42588cfc41 | C996FC0CBE10 | If i was a scientist at NASA and i had to support thr fact that i think the face is a naturual landform I would empasize that, Life on ars is not likely becuase it has not beeen proven. Just because there are items or land marks that lead to life on Mars does not mean there has been any. | Lead | Adequate |

22441ecdeb71 | C996FC0CBE10 | because if you go by the diffrent images included in the article you notice the cleared the images,the face slowly dissapears or fade away. The Face can also appear by things in spaces or objects reflecting unto the mesa. | Evidence | Adequate |
77eb0019d672 | C996FC0CBE10 | There are many landforms in Mars and the Face happens to be one. | Claim | Adequate |
072b7d70df13 | C996FC0CBE10 | For people to say that aliens are the ones causing it to look like a Face is also a arguement. | Counterclaim | Ineffective |
f614840f73cf | C996FC0CBE10 | Why ould support this detail? because of so many life forms on Earth people assume that someone had to make that happen.

0aa15a4b2293 | C996FC0CBE10 | Well as you can tell Mars always had many landforms and The Face happens to be one. How can you prove that? people might ask.

b4ca2f7cbff6 | C996FC0CBE10 | and the way it got it's "face" was by something reflecting off an object and making it seem like someone had of built that,
But again. those images do not show anything about a face and how could have "aliens" buolt something so clearly and so presised. The clues just don't go together.
| Evidence | Adequate |
78b51d306f43 | C996FC0CBE10 | In conclusion until realistic facts are proven i would stick wit the face that these are natrual landforms and "aliens" had nothing to with the fact that they built it. | Concluding Statement | Adequate |

e23083dcfc42 | C9AC065BB597 | This is a natural landform because in paragraph 2 it states "Scientists figured it was just another Martian mesa, common enough around Cydonia, only this one had unusual shadows that made it look like an Egyptian Pharaoh". | Evidence | Adequate |
92baf32bb853 | C9AC065BB597 | If it was created by aliens then wouldn't they at least mark or show a sign that it's theirs | Claim | Adequate |
02d7ac104852 | C9AC065BB597 | They did mark that it was theirs by making it a face. Then why does it look like a human face? It looks lik a human face because maybe thats how they saw the first human. | Evidence | Ineffective |
7daff45a8056 | C9AC065BB597 | I believe in weird landforms because it would make since that they would get there from either destrution of something else or creation of another landform. But why doesn't NASA send a space rover to mars to scan the face and collect some samples from it? | Concluding Statement | Adequate |
