If there was even a shred of evidence of life on mars existing at one point and its found during our lifetime, that would be monumental news that shakes our belief system about life to the core. Would love to see it.

I think the next rover will discover evidence of past microbial life on Mars. The evidence that conditions existed for microbial life to exist on Mars is getting pretty strong.
I suspect it won’t be a big deal. People’s belief system will just marginally adjust or just exclude that evidence from their daily life.
