Scientists find hint of hidden liquid water ocean deep below Mars' surface

There might be a hidden ocean's worth of liquid water below the surface of Mars, seismic evidence suggests. By studying seismic waves, researchers have found a layer deep beneath the surface of Mars that could contain enough liquid water to flood the planet with an ocean thousands of feet deep.

NASA has found evidence of Mars' water escaping into space — but new research hints that it may have alssso gone deep, deep underground. 

 Could there be water on Mars, beneath the surface.  This is what some creation scientists believe, as in Genesis it says that planets were formed with water, inside them. For instance, minor planet Bennu is full of water.

Some evolution-believers scientists say that below the surface, some 5.4 to 8 kilometres or 3.4 to 5 miles, there is water beneath the surface.

Some evolutionists say that our neighbouring planet was once abundant in water. In the time between Mars' formation 4.1 billion years ago to about 3 billion years ago, the Red Planet is thought to have been extremely wet, with features like valley networks, delta formations, and layered sedimentary rocks suggesting sustained water flow.
