If this is
1) From mars and
2) Life
Then this is indeed earth shattering.
Show me where in the bible it talks about creating life on mars....the core of the bible depends on earth alone being the life planet..yep, in the whole universe, only earth has life on it, hand crafted by a deity.
From a theological standpoint for those who believe in the bible;
The bible doesn't say that the earth is the only place in the universe that has life on it. That's an assumption that people make. The bible discusses the theology involved in how life came about on earth, but it doesn't say it's the only place with life. Why would it? We live on earth, our ancestors lived on earth, thousands of years ago, they didn't have the concept of planets and stars and solar systems and the universe that we have today, so they wouldn't have bothered to talk about life on those things they didn't realize existed.
The bible doesn't discuss Pluto, but Pluto exists. The bible doesn't discuss the periodic table, but it exists. There are infinitely many things that exist that aren't mentioned in the bible, that doesn't mean they don't exist, it just means those things weren't the focus of the bible. Finding life on other planets doesn't disprove the bible so life or no life out there doesn't affect the beliefs of Christianity.
The bible states that god formed the earth to be inhabited, and only the earth. The stated purpose of all the stars and heavenly lights is to mark the seasons and to give light to earths "inhabitants", this of course doesn't mean that the stars can't be inhabited as well. Also, the bible does speak of non-terrestrial life, but are of the spiritual realm, called angels. So while the bible doesn't exactly say whether or not there is actual biological life on other planets, it is certainly not silent on the issue as some would have us believe.
I'm sure you'd be willing to post the verses that say that if it indeed does say so. To my knowledge, it does not. I've been wrong before and I'll be wrong again, but I would need to see the verses you are referring to before I will concede to being wrong about this. In particular, I'd like to see where it says that "only the earth" would be inhabited. ESPECIALLY since even the pope has acknowledged there is most likely extra-terrestrial life out there.

First of all, entry of this rock turns it into a ball of fire ... purification, that would kill all microbiological life on it. Second, even if this object is egg-shaped, it is more like and in fact, most-likely a product of the heat process of entry, and sudden cooling, rather than an egg that was planeted there on mars, and magically was capable of klinging to it, during entry. That part of the process is a wishful thinking, rather than a realistic view.

They aren't biological entities like us, though the Ancient Astronaut theorists will tell you otherwise, as they pervert what is said in the bible to fit into their fairy tale beliefs about space aliens from some mystical planet called 'Nibiru' or some other planet. Its not surprising to me that the Vatican, the whore of Babylon would hold a conference about the possibility of life in space, and would even baptize the aliens should we come in contact with them. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this "alien" would claim to be Jesus Christ himself or something in that manner, as the bible warned of deceivers coming in his name. Its all part of the "strong delusion" described in the bible, so don't be deceived.

So now you are saying that since no other place was mentioned, that means they didn't exist. Very different from your earlier statement that the bible says ONLY the earth would be inhabited. You are adding to what is written with your own ideas. It doesn't say anywhere in the bible that ONLY the earth has life on it. The bible doesn't mention oxygen, but we have oxygen. It doesn't mention cars, but they exist. Just because something isn't mentioned there doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Staying with the creationist idea, if there is life on other planets, they would have their encounter with God written out as well and the story of how they were created would they not? They probably wouldn't mention anything about earth since they are on their own planet, not this one. If you are a believer, adding to scripture is just as bad as taking away from it, if not more so.
I don't buy into the ancient astronauts theories and don't think the Catholic Church is inherently evil. I don't agree with it, but it's not inherently evil.
So, it doesn't say in the bible that only the earth was inhabited. Do you really think an all powerful God wouldn't be capable of creating life wherever he wanted, not just here? The universe is mighty large and we're just a tiny little speck. Don't put limits on God.

How do they know its meterorite from Mars? And how does there become a meteroite from Mars here?
How often does Earth send a Meterorite to Mars? I don't see many of our rocks taking off into space, except for maybe that Yucatan impact incident that supposedly killed the dinasaurs... Have they brought rocks back from Mars yet? Is this how they know it was specifically from Mars?

The Vatican already declared that life in the universe is not against its canons. This is not new and the Vatican is currently producing science on the subject. There are vatican astronomers looking for life out there... Just for the record.

Yeah! That's egg on Zorgon's face!!
What he probably meant was that an 'Egg-shaped object' was found! Never mind. To err is human....Especially when one's clutching at straws to prove the possibility of ET life!!

Ahh, misnomer, not true at all. Meteorites almost always fall cold. Only the outer surface ablates in the earth atmosphere. The amount of time in the atmosphere burns the surface away, but hardly ever heats the core.

Which is a misnomer ...
Since mars is a planet, it should be obvious ... even to a child. That something exiting the gravitational field, must do such by force. There are no volcanoes on mars, that can or *could* hurl it so far out.
The particles that escape are "dust" particles. These dust particles, are then fused in an extra terrestrial process ... which "always" include heat.
Saying that this is a cold process, is about as much a misnomer as anything can be ... mars hasn't exploded yet, so stop bombarding the idiots with scare tactics.
*This* was already debunked years ago, with the Antarctica meteorite.
