No. Why should it? Just because there is a potential for alien life does not mean that theists are wrong. It just means there are other worlds out there with intelligence.

It wouldn't change my nonbelief in anyway.
However, I do not understand why the always base life on other planets, on whether or not they have suitable conditions based on Earthlife.
If lifeforms were to develop elsewhere, it would be based on what that planet has to offer. They would have evolved to need different requirements than life on earth.
Why are the scientists so narrow-minded in this regard, and what is needed for life?

In the process of finding out we will prolly wipe ourselves out from a virus we discover (like War of the Worlds but from the wrong side).
Either that or we will mine the ice for resources and kill all the life off.

Suppose Jesus were to ride through the clouds on a white horse? Will this affect your beliefs? (may be too late by then anyway... so, understand that what we 'believe' means squat... you'd better be on a pursuit of 'truth')

It would shock me because, why would there be all that space, if theres no use for it.
I also don't understand how they say under planets don't have conditions livable for life, but life could of been created just to live in those environment.
but thats what i believe.

It will turn my belief that life probably exists elsewhere in the universe into a certainty that it does.

I hope it's not some kind of super-virus that will turn all living organisms on earth into a grey sludge or something!

Suppose GOD sent his only begotten son to die in our place so that we can now choose to fellowship with the authors of the universe. Would this affect your beliefs?

Not at all. I'm Wiccan, and I'm perfectly comfortable with the idea that there might well be life elsewhere in our universe.

I think all they would find is a microorganism like bacteria. Why should that change your beliefs? Didn't God make everything?
