…with the James Web Telescope looking for sources of artificial light to identify potential intelligent life, and the news this week of Perseverance searching for microbial life on Mars it feels like we are getting closer to a major discovery. But what - if anything - would it mean for the religions on Earth if life is proven to exist out there?
Where did you get that idea from? Even the pope accepts evolution and the big bang as creation history. Religion accepts scientific truth all the time, they just attach “… because of god” to everything.
Yup, and they’ll say the same if extraterrestrial life is discovered - that god created them, because he created the universe.
Yeah, in fact many scientists were and are genuinely religious and did their research in accordance to their belief, not in opposition. Now that used to be more true than today, but you can bend a lot in “yeah, that’s also part of what God made” or straight-up just push mistakes on humans. “Yeah, we misunderstood God there”.
So why do they think monkeys should evolve from peanut butter?
That is just as stupid a statement as “scientists believe we evolved from monkeys”. Not even the strongest believers I erer met claimed something like that.

Deal with it
Some dumbass on youtube is not “they” when we are talking about “abrahamic religion”. How fucking difficult is that for you to understand?
Doesn’t know who Ray Comfort is and is engaging in religious apologetics. Hehehe
