[Pause for laughs]
Now then. Let's say it IS a life form. This, it seems to me, vindicates both
Francis Crick [directed panspermia] and Fred Hoyle [Evolution from Space]. It
deals a blow to traditional evolutionists (what, we had spontaneous generation
in TWO places in the solar system?) and does nothing to harm Intelligent
Design. In fact, it rather supports the idea.
What would, assuming once again, it say about God, man and Earth? I don't
think much. Man would still be a special creation.
It does give us writers some good SF ideas, though. It's time to re-read the
Hitchhiker trilogy again....
