Do you think they would try to adopt EBE existance into they're religion just like they do every other scientific discovery? Or would they finally wake up and become an atheist...

Actually many of the christians I know believe in ET. They often quote a verse, escapes me at the moment, that "other worlds will be watching". I am sure this is probably a mistranslation or something as the ancients were unaware that the universe is as vast as it is and other planets would almost be a heresy. It was not long ago we believed the Milky Way was the only galaxy and encompassed the entire universe. Hubble was the first to notice the distant lights were not merely other stars but other galaxies.

Christians don't wake up to the current reality, that wont change over night. It took five hundred years to pardon Galileo.

WTF are EBE's? More than likely it would be as Bill Cosby said happens when you get hit by a truck - "First they'd say it then they'd do it!"

I know what a large majority of them wouldn't do, which would be to rethink everything they know about their cosmology in relation to their religion. Compartmentalization of very disparate ideas is already not a problem for these people so I am pretty sure that most would come up with some fallacious explanation for the existence of aliens and an earth that was created 6000 years ago.

EBE = Exterrestrial Biological Entity, it's a more better way of saying Alien...
EBEs are Extraterrestrial Biological Entities. Of course silly Christians would find someway to relate them to Jesus.

Have you seen any of those "UFO's In The Bible" episodes on the History Channel...
I don't think theist know anything at all about Cosmology. If they did they would know that there's 400 Billion Planetary Systems/Suns in our single Galaxy. That right there would be enough to make me turn away from my faith. But on top of that when you realize there's BILLIONS UP ON BILLIONS OF OTHER GALAXIES, there's no way someone who knows this info could believe that man was created in god's own image.
Slimm,
The christians I used to know actaully said if aliens were encountered they would admit christianity is false. Though if the moment ever arrived, I think they would get cold feet and incorporate it into their fairytale.

is this before or after they kill them for being an affront to gods creation?
Lol, that wouldn't be a smart move on their part. If the EBE's wanted revenge, I'd let them where they could go on sunday mornings...
I think we need to make contact with other life in the Universe, it sure would make us put away our little differences such as skin color, ect...
Or it would increase the number of racist jokes i have at my disposal! i should begin contemplating for grey, and neon purple immediately!

I really hope there isn't any other life in the universe. Seriously. That's all we need, another way to deliver spam:

I think they would first claim it was an elaborate hoax. Then they would likely claim satan was responsible somehow. I don't see them accepting ETs any more than they are willing to accept evolution or any other science that doesn't mesh with their book of lies. It doesn't take much for me to picture some sects trying to use it as an excuse for hastening their fairytale concerning armagedon and the "rapture".

I think Christians are quite OK with existence of extraterrestrials. I have one orthodox christian in my mailbox, he responds in a matter of months, so it's always quite a surprise. (he may be even reverend, his name would match one)
I asked him about the original sin and aliens, and he responded, that they would be excluded from the original sin, because only man sinned.
That's logical, unlike one story by Asimov or Clarke, where's a planet full of relatively primitive, but extremely logically thinking swamplings, and when a christianic missionary comes to them and preaches the gospel, to save their souls, they crucify him, to see if God really saves (or resurrects) him or not. In fact, a christian missionary shouldn't ever care about poor ET souls, they had no forbidden fruity xhzrrwah phytostructure in their zhwrrrz garden and no rhaazrr lured them to commit a sin against the eternal, holy xhuuzr.
I have seen UFO once, maybe twice. The first time it was a typical UFO, the second time many years later I saw something like a big flash on the sky, (a light staying on a place, not a falling meteor) which enlightened all the landscape for a while, and woke up all dogs in neighbourhood. It looked like an alien tourists went to see Earth and wanted to photograph the place where I live, but it was currently a night there, so they had to set on a flash on their camera. I hope my mom will never see the photo, because I was out there at night secretly smoking a cigarette.
