I have fuill confidence the goalposts aren’t going anywhere JS-

Quite frankly I never expected realistically to see any research that could settle the question in my lifetime.

But today I am wondering. What if, within the next 20 years we find life on Mars that has a completely different genetic code.

Any thoughts?

If the genetic code is widely different, it'll be considered evidence that a Creator didn't do it cause life adapted to fit the different environment.

If it's not wildly different, then it'll be considered more supporting evidence that the common aspects of life can easily arise in other environments.

It'll be *Heads I win, tails you lose*.
