I think the more important question would be if we integrated with these beings to the point where they lived here etc and they were able to fly or have super strength etc would they be allowed to play football?

I mean it would be racist not to let them right?

Mate I'm more interested in the hot green skinned girls in togas that star trek promised along with the instant demise of anyone in a red uniform.

The Universe is so large, chances are that there is another planet with another Everton Football Club, playing at Goodison.

Somewhere in the universe, there is a planet that`s populated by nothing but @davek `s

Roberto Martinez is the supreme ruler.
Flat caps, boiler suits, steelies and donkey jackets are mandatory clothing for both sexes.
Religion is based around Marxism, no other religions are allowed.
The names, David, Duncan and Nathan are illegal.
The colour red is banned.
No one tells the truth about anything, everyone has their own agenda and no one ever admits that they`re ever wrong / been caught out lying. As a result the whole planet is engaged in a non stop circular argument about everything and nothing ever gets done.
Everyone lives in yurts in rainbow collectives and keep unicorns as pets.
Pubs and restaurants are illegal, swill and muck houses.
Football is the national sport, however games are played in empty stadiums, as only the supreme leader, Roberto Martinez is allowed to attend.

A team of scientists have detected gases on a planet outside our solar system, that here on earth can only be made by living things. The suggestion is that the planet contains life (there is no suggestion yet that it's anything other than microbial). Other scientists are looking to see if they can find any other way these cases could be made, to give a false result, but as yet there are none. The gases don't exist without life, as far as we know. The team making the discovery are only 99.9% certain - not the 99.9999% required for them to be convinced.

So my question is - how will this affect human beliefs? The Bible tells us God uniquely made earth and humans on it. Sure, established religion will twist and turn and adapt, in order to protect its income, just like Sky tv work to make sure its best selling tv brands are generally successful. They'll be full of "god created all life all over the universe, but didn't want to tell us in case predestination meant we'd turn out to be horrible and exploit our neighbours" (checks notes, looks at the US and sighs dolefully).

But will it put the kibosh on the extremists, like the USAians who insist the earth is only 6000 years old, or will they just suggest that scientific evidence and peer review is just another trick of their imaginary devil?

Either way - will actually knowing that the earth is not alone in having life, affect anybody"s faith?
