All these years NASA has gone to a two or three planets looking for aliens.
Throughout the years how many have we found, none! | Claim | Adequate |
23bdad4b5a5a | B0EB441FDE3A | Yes, we may have found some traces of aliens, but we can not prove that these are actually alien tracks, or alien lifeforms.
There is no way to prove that this structure was made by aliens, unless we have images of them, and so far we have none. | Evidence | Adequate |
cc9fa3094e1f | B0EB441FDE3A | Look down on earth.
How many mesas or Buttes do we have in America, or even around the world?
Now think about this, were these man made? | Claim | Adequate |
96945e19ce9e | B0EB441FDE3A | No, none of these land formations were man made!
They are formed naturally by nature.
Now over the years we have found a lot of reasons how Mars is sort of like the earth.
It carries water, and it is one of the easiest planets to get to, so if you think about it, Mars could have the same land formations as we do!
N... | Evidence | Adequate |
ac2dfe7c1f51 | B0EB441FDE3A | Yes, you may be right in some way.
Yes, we have found traces of aliens over the years.
This COULD have been made by aliens.

That is the only argument that you have against me. | Counterclaim | Adequate |

7a0e5986912c | B1FAD06077ED | The author of "The Challenge of Exploring Venus" definitely uses a lot of big words to describe the difficulties and other details of venus in general, but do they know what they are talking about? | Lead | Adequate |
aca8baf3a1f4 | B1FAD06077ED | By carefully examining the text and pondering their ideas of the planets surface and difficuties of gaining access to venus , one could definitely say that yes, the author does support their idea very well. But this is a planet that can crush submarines like soda cans. | Position | Effective |

9be8b46ac674 | B216794ACCCA | The conflict of whether or not scientists should study the planet Venus has been up in the air, no pun intended, for sometime now.
