I disagree. Nothing could survive the vacuum and coldness of space that long to get to Mars. The only thing that comes close to that is some species of cocroaches. And even then, they could only survive in space for a very short time.

So how "un-similar" are we talking about here? A bear giving birth to a Gungin?

Actually, I think if a bear give birth to some weird creature whose genetic makeup is composed of a completely different genetic language than the bear's, it would totally send all scientists to the nut houses. When I say different genetic language, I'm talking about different types of bases than thymine, cytosine, adenine, and guanine.

Re: bump
Thanx, AA. I'll state my question here.
​
What if we find life existing on at least one other world? It doesn't have to be intelligent life. It could be single celled organisms. Will there be any problem between the new finding and bible fundyism?

We are the bog. Resistance is voltage over current.

For goodness's sake, please vote Democrat this November!
