The two viking spacecraft did not find convincing evidence of life on mars, nor did the phoenix lander. do these results imply that life never existed on mars? explain.

They don't. Water was found and there are actually implications that if it doesn't exist nowadays, it might have historically existed long before there was even life on earth. There are theories that there was life on Mars millions of years ago way before earth had life.
