Scientists are discussing the theoretical possibility of transferring human bacteria to other planets as a way of encouraging a genetically descendent human species - primarily in places such as Mars. It's proposed as one tactic to "continue" the human race.
"If you want to roll with the terraforming scenario a bit further, you can imagine the human-encoded bacteria reassembles naturally, through organic processes, to eventually evolve into descendant organisms—sort of restarting the human population."

Would a human-initiated reboot of a genetically descendent population, such as this, still fall under the purview of a Christian "God" or would such beings not count as "humans", thus not required to obey a "God" much the same way as animals are not required.
