RE: Would theists become atheists if we found lifeform

Another thing I thought of...scientifically literate theists (yes, they do exist) often use the "fine-tuning argument" that the laws of nature were specifically designed for the universe to eventually produce life. So the discovery of complex extraterrestrial lifeforms, intelligent or otherwise, would likely be seen by such people as further confirmation of this belief.
