I don't recall any part of the bible that states that god only created life on earth.
If god created the universe, presumably he also created life in any other locations it might be found.
He set up the conditions under which life develops, it shouldn't be that surprising if life springs up anywhere those conditions warrant.

I hope so! But some prick would talk their way around it eg: "the antichrist is setting us up trying to lead us from jebus like he did with Adam and Eve and we mustn't let him win". People would keep believing in the current religions on a technicality and Jedi and Pokemon would become religions too because people don't know what to think and need to cling to something and there would be some ****** who stands to gain a lot of money and power from it, just like L. Ron Hubbard and bloody Scientology!

I don't think so. Religion has always managed to adapt after a specific belief has been proven completely wrong. They will fight tooth and nail to the very last minute to say that they AREN'T wrong, and that anyone who tries to SAY they're wrong is going to Hell, but once they absolutely can't argue anymore, they just completely push it aside as if it was no big deal to begin with.

Unfortunately they are trying to change their stories that god created the universe and other life forms in the universe...but thats to be expected from a bunch of hypocrits.

Out of the billions of stars and planets that exist,the chance that this is the only one with life on is very remote

Nope. There are several indications that there at least was bacteria on Mars. It isn't going to effect them at all if the next lander proves it with the redesigned tests.

As much space junk that we, the United States has placed in orbit ti would be possible that we, humans, planted those germs.
Not necessarily saying that is what happened, but that would be one response I'm sure.

In this instance, the religious types would make up some witty statement followed by a bible quote, thus "validating" their insane religious beliefs.

Certainly not. Faiths are good at ignoring facts.
