Methane from Mars

A paper is currently under peer-review arguing that the methane signatures on Mars strongly suggest the presence of microbial life. I'll be surprised if all the recent signs that Mars has water and life turn out to be wrong. I eagerly await proof that Earth isn't the only planet in the universe with life. Even if it's just microbes (that may have seeded evolution on our planet), that would be proof that life can and does exist elsewhere. While the odds are overwhelmingly in favor of many planets with life on them, they're also overwhemingly against the chance that we'll discover any of them.
