Politically I can't say, I see chaos no matter what happens or doesn't happen on Mars (look at my posts in the Larry Craig thread for background). As far as "religious", I don't see a problem. I'm a fairly conventional "evangelical Christian", and I don't have a problem with either life "scattering" off this planet via impact, or, God creating it on other planets if he saw fit.
I agree completely...God can do whatever He wants, whenever He wants.
