If intelligent life is found in the universe will it change religion(s)?

The_Mike_Drop@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 241 points –

....with the James Web Telescope looking for sources of artificial light to identify potential intelligent life, and the news this week of Perseverance searching for microbial life on Mars it feels like we are getting closer to a major discovery. But what - if anything - would it mean for the religions on Earth if life is proven to exist out there?

Will proof of aliens change the brainwashed ultra religious? Not a chance. Hell, there are flatearthers and election deniers. I don't expect much from about 30% of our population.

I read that as "...electron deniers" and did a double-take. Now, wouldn't that be something!?

Well if opposite charges attract surely the electrons would be at the nucleus? Checkmate electron-realist.

Electrons are empty inside except for a shower of virtual particle, anti particle pairs! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!
