God created us in his image, which would give us his genetic ability
What do you mean by "genetic ability"?
would we not be the creators of life on Mars if we can do that?
No. Why would we engineer new organisms when earth is teeming with millions of species already, many of whom thrive in the most extreme environments?
would not that life no matter how simple be able to become self aware by Darwinist evolutionary theory?
No. Bacteria and archaea have been on earth for 4 billion years. They show no signs of becoming self-aware
he first astronaut to set foot on the planet will be highly evolved life, not microbes, so Darwin's theory is dead at this point.
How did you make that connection? An astronaut goes to Mars and somehow that disproves evolution!
