There very well may be life on other planets. Since I am in
your words a YEC (or anti-theistic revisionist); And since there is a
lot of speculation going on here. My theory is that the rock is not
from Mars but from the Earth. A catastrophic event here on Earth
could easily send a rock hurling through space only to re-enter
the atmosphere.
I was not aware that when Viking landed on Mars any life was
found. No doubt the this rock will be the justification to spend
billions to prove otherwise.
