Sorry, I was arguing against your argument, rather then against the refutation of the idea.

Evolution is not effected at all by the genetic code of an organism (simplification of course, but near-to-nothing), simply firing an organism with the right genetic code at a different planet will only produce a lifeform based on the same material (for Terran creatures, carbon and DNA based), not the same creature. When it comes to evolution it is conditions which is the deterministic factor, not genomes.
