It's been interesting to follow the news lately, with
claims of Martian meteors containing traces of life
on Mars. If so, I assert the following:
--- It is possible that CP life came from other
planets...perhaps Mars.
--- CP life traveled to earth on meteors. In
particular, CP seeds, which were buried within
the meteor and did not explode because of
decompression or heat. If anything, the heat
scarified the seeds and made them ready to
sprout upon arrival on earth.
--- Most CPs are found in swamps, which would
have provided a soft landing ground for meteors.
--- Many CPs prefer low light conditions, which
matches the solar environment on Mars.
--- Mars is cooler than the earth, which
explains why so many people have trouble
growing CPs in a greenhouse.
--- Surface photos of Mars show signs of a
civilization (the face, the pyramids, other
buildings). CPs may have been brought there
from other solar systems and cultivated by
a race of CP enthusiasts who were exterminated
in an intergalactic war.
--- CPs require lots of water, which explains
Lowell's observations of Martian canals and
melting ice caps.
--- CP cultivation may have overtaxed the
Martian water supply, causing massive
environmental changes that destroyed the
planet.
--- Mars is red, and many CPs retain red
coloration.
--- A meteor may have destroyed Peter Pauls
stock of good CPs, which may explain some people's
dissatisfaction with them.
