- Many religions view intelligent life as a special and unique creation. But experts who spoke to Newsy aren't sure the discovery of intelligent alien life would shake major religions much. So if E.T. exists, what happens to the world’s religions?

Evolution made no dent in religion. So why should aliens make a difference?
evolution left a huge dent in religion, you just don't acknowledge it, but you are assuming aliens approach as equals, to get here they are obviously vastly more intelligent than us. What if they have a completely different religion, say something closer to Hindu and Buddhist faiths or even Shinto, animism, or even have no religion at all. How would we respond to such. If they could duplicate any of Jesus' so called miracles with technology wouldn't that show a problem?
Because Science will make religion believe that aliens are their god. Biggest lie ever told to continue to have governments control the people.
And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and of whatever living creatures He has spread forth in both. And He has the power to gather them together whenever he pleases.”
(Holy Quran, 42:30)

I think most people would not care about the existence of other life forms until it impacts their day to day life. It would just be a distant concept and just another day. I can also imagine Religions simply re-interpreting their scripts to make it all seem like it fits. Then there will be a minority that cannot accept this new reality (reference those that could not accept there was limited quantity of toilet paper left during the pandemic). Personally, it would provide me with great motivation in life as it would add even more purpose than I can already identify. I'd probably try and find a job that allows be to take part in the forming of inter species contact or communication.
thats exactly how it would do down, i wish religon truly just never came to be.
U predicted the future
itll be even better if the aliens have their own completely different religions lol, and the day we make proper contact, we would have separate sects trying to convince them that our gods are real, and their religion is a farce😂😂
It’ll be more funny when aliens have religious of their own
Well, it would be no surprise that they also have religions. Think how aliens think the universe was created, do they believe is gods? Or maybe they believe in something more complicated...

I would love to hear the earthly religions try and convert interstellar beings and convince them of earths "gods"
That would be funny XD I believe in god and Jesus, but I know the hardcore Christians, which are most Christians, will slander them about the existence of god until they eventually leave out of annoyance XD

The plot twist is they believe in God too
What ıf aliens have very different belief about God or gods, life after death etc? Then. Can you still say ıt is the same God created them.
yeah its possible
World religions themselves teach different things, so this won’t make any difference

I mean ... the creation story and basically all stories that didn't take into ETs into account would immediately be (more) suspect. They already were.
Religious either have to adapt their stories to take into account the reality of ET, or be left by the wayside as a likely falsehood.
If anything merely from the fact that THEY must know more. So whatever WE think is laughable compared to the knowledge they posses
I am fascinated with the thought of Earth making contact with extraterrestrials. It is pretty much a certainty that life exists all throughout the cosmos. I personally believe that we have been visited by ETs in the past and in recent years. In any case, what would this do to religion? Nobody can ever again make the claim that the world/universe was created for Earth's men/women. I think some hard realities are eventually going to sink in to the population and the world will be better off.
Yep
Nope
For all we know the creator of life on earth could be an extraterrestrial life form because with a more advanced gene sequencer than is currently available on earth a person could create life by creating genes and sequencing them and instructing them on how to live their lives, behave towards others, etc, which is where religion comes in and perhaps by religions working together, we as humanity may be able to improve the world and the lives of people living in this world (earth)
Yes
Something is most definitely out there because our galaxy doesn't even make 1% of whole universe
=\= .000000000000000001% of the universe .... 1 percent is a lot ha
An advanced lifeform would most likely understand our purpose of having religion, especially if they have previously visited other developing worlds similar to our own. They might have some interesting insights to the factual origins of those religions, They would certainly withhold any info that would create unrest within the primary species of any planet they reveal themselves to.
aliens: oh dang our religion is ÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆ
From a religious standpoint, what was the point of God creating all of the planets in the universe and only creating life on this one. Watching humanity for an eternity would probably feel to Him like only having the same TV channel playing nonstop.
They better figure it out soon
I’d be interested to know what religion for extraterrestrial life would look like. Would they have their own religion very similar to Christianity? What would it teach? In any case, all life was created by God and if there are any sentient extraterrestrials out there, i hope we can live in relative harmony. Though i suppose that would be a high bar since we keep warring over nonsense ourselves.
I cant understand that people cant give up on religion after seeing so many other life forma they always have esucses
Aliens created religions as their way of communicating with us.
Speak 🗣
Yes
Would it not make more sense, they created it as a way of dividing us?
No
Buddhism really accepts alien life don't know much about what other religions think about alien life but if alien life is discovered it won't make any impact on buddhism
Languages?
Ignorant people will call aliens demons 😂
True and not true.
Nah nah i dont like that. it was all my god created everything and its just us here, oh and it started 5000 years ago. They dont get to back peddle now. Everytime something is discovered Christianity just goes " oh, ya thats what i meant."
I mean in Bible the main focus from the Genesis and onwards has been about Earth so there isn't much to respond?
If it's intellectual life, then acting like any other human should to another. Be humble and learn.
book of enoch does tho they removed from bible
With Zeal and fury.
I think they would think there demons.... Or that god was working on a bunch of other life forms and just didn’t tell us about it
The real creator of earth and humans was extra terestrial people. Not God.
@@deliamcmahon4603 How can you say something like that without evidence?
@@Randive gotta have someone thinking that so we don't piss off the aliens for creating us but not getting any credit for it

which God..?
Aethios
@@littledudefromacrossthestr5755 there's a ole lot of gods which one is it..?
Water
Sol
I think just any
Muslims already KNOW about the seen and countless unseen worlds and creations. We'll be like, "yup, told ya"! Lol
if god is all powerful then aliens will know about him too right?
No
Water is our god!
That actually make sense I'll start a new religion worshipsing water 🌊
Sun is the god. Youre going to hell if you worship anyone other than the true god which is the sun god.

“We made from water every living thing....” (Surah 21, verse 30)
In the water which Allah sent down from the Heavens and brought with it life to Earth after being dead and gave life in it to every kind of land animal; And in directing the winds; And in the clouds that are enslaved between the Heavens and the Earth; [All these] are Signs for a people who comprehend.
[Quran 2.164]
God never said it was just us
Why GOD? Why Me?
If God exists or something similar will prove it. If not or something better oh well. Get over one selves. Peace embrace truth this is science and religio.
Islam not only acknowledge about life in other planets, but also multiverses.
What if life on other planets don’t know about Allah or Quran, and have a completely different God that they worship?
Islam doesn’t acknowledge life on this planet. Religion of violence, terror and death.
Aliens created religion.
Project blue beam
So how do you know God's a he
I have sheep in ither fields. Bible

God created other planets so that more beings could worship him? What would be the point? Is he a narcissist or something? Lol
You’re just now figuring out? Was the Old Testament not enough?
To this we still think that we are the center of the universe. Think about it, other intelligent beings out there would have many gods, we did, and what you think they going to worship our God? So if we whment to another planet, and they had statues of their gods....what!.....we go convert them to follow jesus a man that look like us....
Bible thimpers are worried now. Lol.
Interdimensional beings... Read your Bible ask God for wisdom,knowledge and understanding.
😉😉 watch the movie Alien code on YT.
I did but he didn't answer
It will not change anything the bible teaches Jesus did say heaven and earth shall pass away but my words will never pass away or fall
