Sorry to burst your bubble but this is not the first time this has happened. Keep in mind this is the Viking spacecraft they're talking about; the data has been around since the 70s.

I suppose it is remotely possible that this will be definitive proof of life on Mars, but I'm not holding my breath.
Either way it won't bother the creationists, they would design an answer in minutes,
for their God all things are possible and every eventuality is covered.

Whaddaya talkin' about? The flood waters all went to Mars, so that must have been where those micro-organisms got there! That's it.

Joop Houtkooper of the University of Giessen, Germany, will declare on Friday the Viking spacecraft may have found signs of a weird life form based on hydrogen peroxide on the subfreezing, arid Martian surface.
Nice...that's where i am right now.
