I hope you're joking. If there is life on Mars it changes almost every scientific and theological theory and argument in the history of man. If life occurred twice in our solar system independently (of this we may never be sure) it would indicate that there are literally thousands of civilizations in our galaxy alone.

The point would be to refute those who insist that God would NEVER have created such microbes, not saying He did [perhaps, iff so, just a 'jet' effect right here from earth], and also that evolutionism is never wrong, witness 'life on Mars' [which technically is supposed . . you know, to be outside the scope of even evolutionism]. It wouldn't change a thing. Evolutionists would lust after such a scenario. People of Faith would still keep the Law, and in their hearts. Reality, itself, leads in odd directions once we escape the framework of the planet, and the local system. What's out there? What does it mean to say, that star is there, when it may no longer be - when nothing may be there any more? or else a blinding light soon to reach us. What does it mean to say - now? at this moment? there? in that place? and so on.
