In order for the statistics to be affected, we'd need to know that life
developed independently on two planets in our system. It's plausible that
life developed on Mars and was transported to Earth via meteorites.

Hi List,
If this turns out to be fossilized microbial life forms from Mars, that
means there are two planets in one solar system that harbor(ed) life!
Meaning the chances of there being life OUT THERE beyond our small part of
the cosmos just increased exponentially. I mean, if there is verifiable
and incontrovertible evidence of life being discovered to be from TWO
planets in one solar system we're certainly not alone in this solar
system, and most probably there's other life out there beyond our tiny
little neighborhood solar system in our galaxy, not to mention the vast
reaches of the universe!
Seems we just had a discussion about that not too long ago and there were
a whole bunch of naysayers.
Real aliens... Imagine that... ;)
Regards,
Eric Wichman
