Could Life Have Evolved on Mars Before Earth?

I've always sort of thought that life evolved first on Mars, that perhaps man in his ever growing lust for power and control destroyed their planet (Mars) through ongoing wars, especially nuclear wars till it was no longer inhabitable and so we came to the next best thing, Earth (is history being repeated?). Wouldn't that be an interesting turn of events? if suddenly the government declared we weren't created on Earth and aren't at all from this planet? that WE in fact are the extraterrestrials?

The discovery that ancient Mars could have supported microbes raises the tantalizing possibility that life may have evolved on the Red Planet before it took root on Earth. http://www.space.com/20192-mars-life-before-earth.html 

I think it totally transform humanities views on religion and on the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Because if we could evolve on another planet then come to this one, that means the bible is completely wrong, and that evolution is in fact possible on other planets, I hold the theory that life began with the kiss of a star...
