Personally, I’m hoping that it detected either an amino acid chain, or a Alkane-family hydrocarbon - either of which would completely change the game in relation to discussion of possible extra-planetary life.

Boy, would THAT fuck with the Biblical literalists, huh? You think Darwin was bad? Wait until they have to deal with life on other planets.

Given that life on this planet exists in such absurdly inhospitable environments such as the stratosphere, under the Antarctic ice, in volcanic pools, etc. I’d be shocked if life weren’t the rule in the universe. We’re probably one of billions of inhabited planets.
