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

[TubbyTubby]

To start this thread and act as though religion is against alien life is a misrepresentation and also very ignorant.

The article isn't claiming religion is 'against' alien life, whatever that means. It's asking how will the major faiths square a discovery of alien life forms with their holy books.
Stating that there are no scriptures that preclude alien life is one approach. Retrofitting, or finding some new interpretation of some verse that reveals it was prophesied all along is another possible way.
In a thousand years time, faced with the possibility of thousands of discovered intelligent life forms at our local star base none of whom have any concept of the ancient god of the bible, there would still be some loon in the corner waving their book preaching the end is nigh.
