I don’t know how shocking to religions it would be. Surely it would be to some. But if I remember correctly the Catholic Church had some positive statement about alien life. And I know of another christian sect for whom it is a tenant that the universe is full of planets that have been populated by God. Then of course you have scientiology that has some... interesting takes on this issue. And, I don’t think religions like Buddhism would look askance at alien life.
- nn3 6y agoReligions are usually quite adaptable, otherwise they don't survive very long. For example Christianity was originally a doomsday religion that expected the second coming any generation, but it eventually outgrew that too.
- scotty79 6y agoA lot of Christians today fully expect second comming of Christ during their lifetime. In part it's still a doomsday cult.
