Does finding life on another planet disprove religion?

I don't know too much about all the various religions, but would finding life on another planet disprove any of them? Or can life on other planets be accommodated into religion like current science has?

Well they claim that god created the heavens and the earth and since the other planets are part of the heavens they will just take credit for that as well.

hopefully

It does unless the other life forms believe in God too, and that they think they were made in his image, or look just like us.

I'm not necessarily talking about intelligent life.

Is it not feasible that if there is a God then it created the universe?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Serious thread?

Gods brother made life on some of the other planets, in fact, the network of life on other planets is the result of gods off-spring, every new born created life on a new planet..............

It is believed that God made all things out of nothing so no as he made them as well.

whitecrook · 16 Apr 2011 at 15:42

of course it won't. The religions cannot be proved either way. That's the great thing about them.

Glad we were not made in his image

At most it could disprove specific religions who have made it conditional that Earth is the only planet to contain life, to say it could disprove all religions is a massive leap of (il)logic.

Are you saying that Stargate is in cannon with The Bible?

mushroomsoup · 16 Apr 2011 at 15:55

It might disprove some religions. The question is far too vague...

TheCenturion · 16 Apr 2011 at 16:00

What's with all this wanting to disprove religions? Even if you did, it wouldn't make a difference. Predominantly, religions aren't based on proof, they're largely based on faith

Which religions are those?

No it would not disprove religion or a God.

What nonsense.

Most if not all Christian denominations believe in Extra terrestrial life. Some like SEventh Day Adventists, believe there are loads. Of extraterrestrial life forms looking down at us, however we are the only sinners.
It may change some ideas that are not based on the bible, but nothing more.
