Alas i think your wrong. i dont think any eyes will be opened by finding new life. i think they'll try and convert them as well. its what happend in japan, america, south america. im sure most religions will find a way to say god is their savoir just as he is ours.Judazzz said:As far as organized religion and the inevitable discovery of alien life: maybe (hopefully!) it'll be the eye opener, where so many things failed before.

Its not foolish. Its faith.ozhp said:To assume we are the only planet out of the billions of solar systems in space that has life is foolish.

PERFECTLY saidJudazzz said:Yes, there is life out there - the Milky way is only a microscopic speck in the universe, and yet we don't even know what goes on beyond our own solar system (which in its turn is just a microscopic speck in the Milky way).
There are billions of systems like the Milky Way, each containing billions of stars and countless more planets. I can't accept that planet Earth is the only piece of rock in the universe where life evolved (odds of 1 against infinity) - logic/ration makes the absence of extraterrestrial life almost impossible.

and when the rest of the universe meets us and hears Jerry Falwell talk... we'll really be in for it.
