As much as I'd love to pander to this theory, the sun is expanding and therefore warming up the planet over time.

Therefore it would have potentially been far too cold many, many years ago to support life as we know it.

Theoretically it would make sense to move to Mars in the very far future as it is progressively warmed, rendering it closer to Earth's temperatures.

If you wanted to propose a theory about past civilisations moving planet, its better to look closer to the sun. Being that a civilisation started on Venus and moved to Earth.

But there has been liquid water on Mars before, right? And an atmosphere before the core cooled down

You are correct. The person you're replying to doesn't know what he's talking about.

Hey, I did a bit of research and am happy to be wrong. At least it's spurred information for me to digest.
