Authors [[John B. Olson]] and [[Randall S. Ingermanson]] have recently speculated (''[[Oxygen (novel)|Oxygen]]'' and ''[[The Fifth Man]]'') about the finding of microbes on Mars, and the implications that such a discovery would hold for the [[Christianity|Christian]] faith and the possible "back-contamination" of the earth when the crew that found the microbes returned to earth.
