The discovery of alien life may be close. How will religion survive it?

[Pat Mustard]

Interesting discussion in the Guardian. I suspect discovery of alien life won't have so much effect on the devoutly religious, they will sweep it into the 'science+facts to be erased' brain compartment. It will be helpful to stem religious take up of the educated young hopefully and perhaps be a light bulb moment to those not completely beyond help.

Well christianity still exists, despite the fact that the humans in the Americas directly disproved it's message 500 years ago. They'll find some way to rationalise this disproof too, albeit to a dwindling audience.
