Assuming humans find life on Europa or something of the sort, how will Christians respond? Will they drop their religion? Will new religions arise saying that God created that life too? Seems like religions have updated themselves to provide answers for the masses before, will that happen again? Will people believe it?

no....christians will still believe no matter what happens. christianity has weathered a lot more than that. science is not an enemy to christianity. christians that are narrow-minded and stuck in fantasy world are the enemy to christianity. being a christian does not mean that everything is all magical and there is only one answer to every question. christianity is a way of life. and keeping it real is the key. too many christians run away potential followers of christ because of their conjured up traditions that have nothing to do with the bible. God is a realist. Its people that don't realize that...that make the bible of non-effect.

Why would finding life somewhere else negate God? It would be arrogant to think we are the only life in the universe. Just because some book doesn't mention it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist and that God didn't create it in some way.

It's not like that. If it happens, then I will still not leave my religion just because we found life somewhere else in outer space. I am sure that the Christians will not leave their faith as well and the religion will still be the same.

definite, maximum easily. actually, (although he has in no way suggested it in any bible i understand) i've got faith there is sensible existence someplace else. that is guy's vast ego that needs to think of we are the only ones. How dare we even think of as vast as area is, that we are the only smart stay accessible. Why might he even let us know there grew to become into or no longer? He would not, why? reason its particularly none of our enterprise. it particularly is in comparison to they impact our lives in any way. we have no concept whats previous our planet gadget. somebody mentioned they might not have faith in Jesus Christ, what makes you think of that? He only could have had to repeat that challenge in some worlds for all all of us understand. on the different hand, he won't have had to, reason they only must be greater obedient then we are. human beings are specific beings. That hasn't and could in no way substitute with me.

I would accept it. I believe God created everything in the universe. My question to you is if humans were discovered on another planet, or any species for that matter found on earth, how would your reconcile that with evolution which states it is random, so it is unlikely that two exact things will evolve in different space or time or from two separate organism.

A personal relationship with Jesus Christ means that no matter what, you trust what he says in the Bible. If there is life on another planet then whatever. He would reveal it if He wanted us to know.

Why would I limit my Heavenly Father's plans for His Universe? Why would I question my faith because life is found somewhere else?
When will you believe what is in front of you instead of what might be in Europa?

Yeah, I expect they will become taoists for about as long as it takes to explain that God is so great he created them too.
No problemo.!
The problem would come if they suggest we have dinner - and oh - don't bother wearing anything ... complicated.

Only in ignorant narrow minded extremist christians sects would this pose a problem. Scripture, when taken in its historic context, does not rule any of this out.

I wonder more how Atheists will. Most laugh at the are 51 people.
The Bible sort of prepaired us for it.
Jacobs ladder
Ezikel's wheel in the sky
Atheists give no credibility to that nor to the X-Files.
Atheists, who give no credibility to a HIGHER BEING are going to have problems with little green men in space ships.
It's going to make them look a little puney.
Especially if the Aliens claim they put us here.
Gonna make Darwin and Dawkins look stupid.
