I’m sure it would be a little theologically disorienting to discover life on other planets. Looked at honestly, though, how qualitatively different it it from discovering non-Christian primitives in North America, or advanced pagan civilisations in Asia?
It’s all the same God-created world; we just keep expanding our knowledge of it.

I’m sure it would be a little theologically disorienting to discover life on other planets. CS Lewis, science fiction author and Christian, wrote two essays on this topic: "Religion And Rocketry" and "Will We Lose God In Outer Space?"
