What effect on Humanity will the discover of space life be?

Lets imagine

(1) signs of life in space rocks fossils or something

(2) actually life(bacteria or otherwise) found in ice moons or poles somewhere in solar system

(3) detecting signs of life in deep space a signal or structure or pollution , something

(4) comms contact with intelligent life

(5) arrival of Alien life on Earth

(6) If humans leave earth and discover primative or inferiour life forms
outside solar system would we defeat them or leave them alone


:cool:

Thus in one ETI contact scenario, the ETI use humanity for entertainment purposes just as we
use sea lions and seals for this. Shklovskii and Sagan continue to point out that ETI may
desire to be the sole galactic power and will eliminate other life forms when they start to get in
the way. Similarly, an ETI may simply be interested in using us as a means for growth of their
economy. On an individual level they may not be interested in killing us, but may be interested
in incorporating us into their civilization so they can sell us their products, keep us as pets, or
have us mine raw materials for them. Such a scenario could be harmful or beneficial to us,
depending on the methods they use to bring us into their society.

(1) signs of life in space rocks fossils or something Already been found, no big deal.

(2) actually life(bacteria or otherwise) found in ice moons or poles somewhere in solar system people will question if that is "life as we know it" (Jim)

(3) detecting signs of life in deep space a signal or structure or pollution , something signal/structure = awe

(4) comms contact with intelligent life CT nuts will have a field day

(5) arrival of Alien life on Earth new religion

(6) If humans leave earth and discover primative or inferiour life forms
outside solar system would we defeat them or leave them alone Leave them alone. Find some country will make them commies. They'll appear as slaves on planet earth.

First of all, religion will get it's long-due deterioration.

Man will devote some time to finding a new morality system. I believe that our natural survival instincts will be priority though.

If there's one thing that our history tells us is that religion and true morality are two seperate entities. There's nothing wrong with common sense

Does religion deny the existence of life beyond the earth? Source?

I didn't say it did?
Sorry, I should have ellaborated.

Most religion places all importance on our species. E.G. Man being made in the image of God. Which sounds great, if you're a man and you want to preserve importance on your species.

Imagine if other life forms came and tried to teach their deities upon us, putting all the importance on themselves. What do you think the reaction would be? Utter chaos. We are the most important thing to ourselves.

If Christ saved Man, who saved aliens? Are they doomed? If yes, then Humans are better than Aliens?
Do Aliens have souls? Does bible prohibit killing Aliens like it does with humans?
If Aliens actually came on Earth eons ago and they were called Gods... who actually is God then?
Should we convert Aliens to terrestrial religions? What if they try doing that to us?

That's a mess.

:eek:

That's just because you never read (yet) about evidence of aliens existing.

ThatDrGuy

Err technically gods are aliens. Jesus would be a hybrid

There was a paragraph or two about it in Corinthians. It's very easy to miss.

If you're not kidding, can you please provide a link? I like aliens references in Bible!
