Sort of. Actually, I’m going to meld the two topics of evolution/creationism with space. Since now we know that there is a vast amount of ice on Mars, many think that the probability of finding life there has gone up, for good reason since water is an essential component for LAWKI (Life As We Know It).

So, I’m not going to provide any of my own thoughts yet (partly because I haven’t devoted much time to thinking about it, and many of my readers are smarter than me), but just toss out a little Sunday puzzler.

Suppose we do find life on Mars. There are two possibilities. It will use the same genetic code as life on earth, or it won’t.

What are the implications for believers in evolution, and for believers in divine creation, in either case?
