“Are people really likely to freak out if aliens are shown to exist? Tucker suggests that there’s a spiritual element to this, is he suggesting such a discovery wound impact people’s religious views? Whatever the case let’s just have the truth and let the chips fall where they may. What do they think that we are all a bunch of children who can’t handle a new reality?”

If it were true (it isn’t)... the spiritual element would be that Christians would start to question the Bible, which has made no mention of “ETs”...ie creatures that were NOT created by God. The question would be... for one... what “else” has the Bible not informed us about.

It’s all BS IMHO. And yes, yet another bright and shiny distraction.

The Bible talks of angels and demons and heavenly armies in uncountable numbers.

The existence of some non-human beings wouldn't destroy the Bible...but it might force some people to expand their thinking.

You couldn't be more wrong if you tried.
(which I'm not sure that you didn't)🤔

First, the bible is not a complete book of history.
It covers the falling away from God and how we will recover thru Jesus Christ.
It isn't a science or astronomy book either.

Second, Jesus himself said that there was so much more he had to tell us but we were unable to understand it at the time.
John 16:12-14

As far as other life,(not meaning angels) they would have to be sinless beings because Jesus could only sacrifice his life once .. for all mankind.😇

I don't see where Christians would have a problem with it.
After all, Christians shouldn't believe that God wasted his time creating this entire universe for nothing!
