Hypothetically, if aliens came to earth . . .

Hypothetically, if aliens came to earth and we found out they're real wouldn't that contradict all religions? Do you think this would pull people away from religion? Do you think religions would change to fit aliens into the belief systems?

  • [b]I WANT IT TO BE CLEAR I AM NOT TRYING TO OFFEND ANYONE MY QUESTION AT THE BOTTOM IS GENUINE.[/b] I am just trying to understand the logic behind some of the things people believe and i know that will vary person to person. So the general consensus from everyone is: [b][u]No aliens wouldn't go against religion because they aren't mentioned specifically. [/u][/b]I have seen a minority case of religions could have misinterpreted aliens so that should also be considered. With that being said i have a few more questions but first: 1) People don't have a negative response to the question of aliens in regards to religion. 2) We have no clue if aliens actually exist. 3) We can't prove they exist as of now that i am aware of. 4) The logic with aliens is because scripture doesn't specifically touch upon them they could exist. So my question is: Why do theist get offended when atheist use the "disprove my unicorn" argument? With the logic of #4 wouldn't they be just as likely to exist as aliens, Big Foot, etc? I understand tensions can get high in an argument and maybe its just the fact that its questioning God's existence but how do you guys feel about that?
