Well, in the event that life on mars is proven and, if the life found on Mars has the same DNA as all known life on earth, then it can be inferred that it came from the same source, one Genesis.
However, if the supposed life on Mars has different DNA, or RNA, or some basic building block of life completely different than known life, then that provides reasonable evidence that two Genesis' occurred separately within the same solar system.
Under those conditions, it can be reasonably inferred that Genesis' are common throughout the Universe and therefore the argument that life may exist all across the Universe and have virtually unlimited variations would be considered reasonable.
Finding one bacterium on Mars with different DNA or RNA would be the most exciting discovery of all time, confirming that life is prevalent and flourishes throughout the Universe!!!
Makes me excited just thinking about it.
Just so you know, I am an accountant with an interest in science and thoroughly enjoy reading this site, please forgive my less than scientific comments.
