The likely discovery of life elsewhere in the solar system is going to be utterly devastating to the religious articles.
I've heard this chortle from Atheists for years and never have understood it. God can create life anywhere God wants life to be. Since we know the universe is comprised of the same stuff, it stands to reason the building blocks of life have come to fruition elsewhere. I don't understand how that negates God.
Some smart ass Atheist once popped off at me... Well what are you going to do when we discover life on another planet and they don't believe in God? I asked, what are YOU going to do if we discover life on another planet who DO believe in God?
It's actually comedy gold to see fundamentalists stick their gods into a cosmic spackle bucket and trowel them into every corner, nook and cranny.
