I wonder how the more religious people would take confirmation of this?

I'm religious and I would.

I can't tell if you're trolling or being serious because thats actually a good comment. To be honest in my lifetime I've never asked/brought up life on other plants in my religion.

Not trolling. I really do think about this. I see some rolling with it, and others imploding.

Edited by external: 3/12/2013 4:24:11 AM^Fact. Well, not sure about the implosion, but rolling with it wouldn't be hipocrisy for many Christians, as example, not even [i]dogmatically[/i]. If any would-be biblical scholars here think otherwise (e_e), I have a wiki entry for you to edit: [all italicized emphasis mine] "Christianity regards the Biblical canon, the Old Testament and New Testament, as the [i]inspired[/i] [emphasis mine] word of God. The traditional view of inspiration is that God worked through human authors so that, what they produced was what God wished to communicate. The Greek word referring to inspiration in 2 Timothy 3:16 is Theopneustos, which literally means "God-breathed".[79] Some believe that divine inspiration makes our present Bibles "inerrant". Others claim inerrancy for the Bible in its original manuscripts, though none of those are extant. Still others maintain that only a particular translation is inerrant, such as the King James Version.[80][81][82] [i]Another view closely related is Biblical infallibility or Limited inerrancy, which affirms that the Bible is free of error as a guide to salvation, but may [/i] [may, ha!] [i]include errors on matters such as history, geography, or science.[/i]" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity#Scriptures [i]Checkmate, atheists.[/i]

What would that change? My religion believes there is life in other planets. This would only be a confirmation that we are right .

I think its interesting. And I am religious. If you are referring to people like the Westboro church, then you should specify, because most religious people are nothing like that. (Well, except the terrorists.)

No, religious people in general. This will call for a fundamental rethinking of things. Not disproving god per se, but greatly adjusting what is included.

Honestly, most religious people have already done this rethinking, the conservatives are a minority.
