Even in the almost unimaginable scenario where this happened, it wouldn't prove that Allah is God. It would prove that the two lifeforms were bound by a communication link-- another species, or an ancient settlement of humans that we had long forgotten about.
It would be pretty exciting and mysterious. But it STILL wouldn't prove a magical Sky Daddy is disapprovingly watching teenage boys masturbating in the shower.
But...wouldn't that make god a pedo....a very creepy uncle that isn't allowed around you... ehh... i feel dirty..

Who said they don't want "God" to exist?
I for one would be delighted for "God" to exist. I want to kill it and hang its head on my wall.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Claiming that life has already been found on Mars is not supportable. Incorrect, there have not been any later tests.
His results and interpretation of the results are what are doubted. So, you are mistaken.
There is no credible evidence of life on Mars, and some inkling that there may have been life there in the past.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Chas, I'm going to repeat what I said previously. If you have evidence that refutes it then post it.
1. They agreed upon an experiment to test for life on Mars, it was tested on Earth and all the criteria for life on Mars to be confirmed were outlined.
2. The test was run and the results were positive.
3. NASA then changed their mind upon the conditions, meaning that whatever the results they would still deny they had discovered life.
4. Although future tests that could re-confirm the original findings have been proposed, NASA has refused to ever test for life on Mars again on one of their future missions.
Therefore, life was tested for and was found. No future test was done to invalidate the original data even though they were designed and proposed to NASA.

By "previously", you mean of course some four months ago.
