However, as capable as our instruments aboard Perseverance are, further conclusions regarding what is contained in the Wildcat Ridge sample will have to wait until it's returned to Earth for in-depth study as part of the agency's Mars Sample Return campaign.

God: God created us out of one of his many images and many pieces. He is all of us but we are only pieces of him. He created us to be talented, malicious and cruel similar to himself but not the same as him. He created us not because he loves us but so he can use us as instruments of evil, to harm and hurt one another and to do evil things. God is pure evil and that is why he created us to be evil. Every time us humans do something evil God gets off on it, he grows in influence and power. When you do evil things you let him win which is what he wants, don't let him win. Stop doing evil things, stop letting him win, that may be the only way to stop the cruelty from getting worse, it may be the only way to stop humanities suffering. I don't know if God can ever be destroyed but if humanity stands up to him maybe at the very least we can stop humanities suffering or maybe not I don't know but it's the only thing I can think of right now, it might be worth a try.
