Now, when you say "the human race," exactly whom are you referring to?
Religion “invented”? Not hardly! It was revealed to the rational animal by everything around him since there is no way that everything sprang up from nothing. A Supernatural Being is the only rational explanation for us and the universe.
I am going to see this movie, because I liked the first 2 Alien movies and heard this was a prequel. Nothing more nothing less.
What amazes me is how hollywood liberals have clunged so dearly this type of scenario and go out of their way to foment the idea that God would somehow cease to exist and the whole world would riot if alien life was discovered. It is like some sort of brainwashing scheme they have. If you repeat the lie long enough people will come to believe.

It’s a script somebody made up to make money. It’s science fiction. Nobody should read anything else into it, including the director and cast. I will watch it from an entertainment frame of mind, nothing more.
I don’t have time for this asininity.
I cannot believe that people ask such ridiculous questions.
I just watched it and have two words: “Epic Fail”
Just saw the movie. Engineers are coming soon to check this petri dish we live on called earth. VERY POSSIBLE.
Here’s the problem that I have with the existence of aliens, in principle.
Reason tells us that there exists the possibility of an almost unlimited number of disembodied intelligences between rational man and God. We call these intelligences “angels.”
Amazingly, God chose to save relatively lowly man by taking the form of man and... Well, you know the rest.
But even more amazingly, God has chosen, for all eternity, to unite the Godhead to an (albeit glorified) human body.
This is the method by which He chose to redeem man.
So if another form of intelligent life, similar to man in rationality and free will (the aspects of humanity which reflect the image of God) existed outside of the categories of man and angels, how would God redeem them?
God could redeem them in any way He sees fit. But it seems to me to be incongruous to save one rational species by uniting it to the Godhead eternally, but not to do so for another rational species. If this is not a contradiction, it is at least a tension.
Moreover, reasonable speculation ties the evils of the natural world to The Fall, and of course Original Sin.
As creatures of the same universe, but of different species, how would aliens be subjected to the effects of Original Sin in a just and reasonable way?
Aliens brought your thread back to life.
