-> The control samples that were heat sterilized ALSO showed life signs in
-> all cases except the "labelled release" experiment thus indicating that
-> whatever caused the signals in the other experiments was probably not
-> biological.

Or that the organisms were not killed by the heat.

Basically, the Viking results turned out to be inconclusive. They
didn't show, definitely, whether life was or was not present in the
samples. And, of course, they showed nothing about what might exist
elsewhere on Mars.

The only way to find out whether life exists on Mars is to do more
investigations. Arguing about old ones will get us nowhere.
