Would that be enough for you to believe in GOD creator of the Universe? if not then how would you reconcile life exsisted beyond our own?
What are you looking for that would help you believe that GOD exsists? or is it you just have no use for GOD and could care less if he exsists or not?

If you would convince me that a god exists, why would it be your God?
Anyway, life on other planets probably exists. It would be a very strange coincidence that out of 50,000,000,000 planets, only one had evolved some form of life on it.
They supposedly found water on Mars, which probaby means some form of life has existed there.
I fail to see what all of that would have to do with any god.

No. The existence of life on another planet has nothing to do with a belief in god. As a matter of fact, I know more believers who will argue that there could never be life on other planets because god never said that he created life anywhere except on earth.
Luckily for us, conditions on this planet were optimal for life to develop and grow. And if other planets in other galaxies also had conditions that allowed life to form, this doesn't mean that it was placed there by a creator. It just proves that patterns occur over and over through our world and the universe also.
I would believe in a god if the actions or responses from this god were consistent and could be observed by others besides me. Personally, I was a christian for alot of years and losing my faith was hard. As much as the idea of an almighty "father" is comforting, I had to accept that it simply wasn't true. So if there were evidence to prove the existence of god, I would be open to examining it. Until then, my personal experience has given me more reason NOT to believe.

The existence of life, especially sentient life, on other planets would raise far more questions for Christianity than for Atheism.
Why aren't other planets mentioned in the Bible?
Did Jesus visit every single planet in the universe, or was being sacrificed here good enough?
What if there are planets without a Messiah? Do people there get into Heaven?
Does Revelation happen on all planets? At once?
Did the fall of Adam and Eve doom all life in the universe? Or just on Earth?

Why would we leap to the ridiculous conclusion that life on other planets was created by some kind of superbeing if we don't believe life on THIS planet was? Are you fully awake yet? Atheists believe that life THROUGHOUT the universe was formed in much the same way that life on our planet was. Thru biochemical reactions over millions and millions of years.
We are not seeking anything to convince us that God exists. We simply see no reason to believe in any supernatural being. If we did have proof, we would be very excited and would certainly 'care'. But there is none, we expect none, we need none and we seek none.

No it would not. If anything I would think that life on other planets would support non belief. It is not a great leap of the imagination to believe that life could exists elsewhere.
I am not looking for anything to cause me to believe in a god.
I know for certain that the god of the bible does not exist. If there is any other kind of god being he she or it is either a sadistic non caring being or something that does not concern me.

How would other life on other planets prove a god exists? We have life on this planet and it in no way proves god exists, so what makes you think other planets with life would?
Well to be honest, have no use for yours or anybody elses silly god imagining. Also could care less, except to poke fun at those that believe in such sillyness.
The proof I require is for god to come down and polish my johnson. Direct knowledge is superior to all.

Life on other planets has nothing to do with my disbelief in God. It would be fairly arrogant of humans to believe that we are the only creatures that are capable of intelligence. Life on other planets would merely prove that those creatures can adapt to the climates of their particular planet, not that God created them. The one (and only) thing that could convince me that God exists, is if he walked up to me and did something to prove that he was the “almighty God”. But, I don’t feel the need to worship and love someone who I know doesn’t even exist.

It wouldn't change my mind. It would only confirm the scientific belief that everything in the universe is of similar make up. However, I would have second thoughts if an enormous head poked it's way through our atmosphere and started talking in a booming voice to the world. But then again, I'd probably think someone slipped me some acid. So again, I'd have to say NO, it wouldn't change my mind.

If atheists don't believe that God created life on this planet, why on earth would they assume that life on other planets was created by God?
The arguement is bizarre.
fyi, many atheists believe that life on other planets is statistically inevitable--it's the theists who believe that God has a particular purpose only for Earth.

It's the arrogance of people like you that make religion believe we are the center of the Universe. Life exist because of many factors including environment, elemental compositions, energy sources, etc.
Life is nothing more than a source of energy and elements that have self awareness.
