I didnt say I agreed with the NASA prediction.
I said that finding other life would not shatter my beliefs.
I agree with you. Why should it shatter anyone's beliefs? However, given what we know about time and energy and what we know we don't know about guessing at astronomical distances, I'd be surprised man ever finds life anywhere else in the universe.
What would not surprise me would be if some moonbeam tried to fake an B.S. alien contact to establish some neo-pagan "extra-terrestrial" basis of spiritual authority like: "We've objectively assessed your situation and you are surely in imminent jeopardy of climate change" and furthermore and not to mention that "Jesus Christ is surly not alive and well in all his bodily glory, seated at the right hand of Father and chomping at the bit to return to iniquitous Earth to judge the living and the dead."
