Even if this were the case though, life on Mars (or anywhere outside of Earth) would be a really cool discovery!

I saw a conspiracy theory that said we used to live on Mars but we polluted it so much that, to survive, we had to send a rocket with two children to the next planet, called Earth. Then everyone died.

The children's names were Adam and Eve.

thats stupid in so many ways. nevermind the mountain of evidence that we evolved on this planet, two people cannot found a stable population. their children would be fine, but after that they're speed running inbreeding. it would only take a few generations for all kinds of genetic problems to start coming up and they would only get worse.

That negates the entire biblical story too.

Indeed it does. But it's not like people actually believe creation myths anyway >.>
