I cannot remember where I heard about this poll, but Christians (an unknown numbers and denominations) were asked if discovering life on other planets would shake their faith. More than 80% said that it would. An amazing number considering that God is supposedly all powerful. Personally, I can't understand why we must be the only sentient life in the Universe, or how anyone could imagine God as incapable of creating other life forms elsewhere.

"I can't understand why we must be the only sentient life in the Universe, or how anyone could imagine God as incapable of creating other life forms elsewhere."

Off all the things both physical and organic that have been observed, has there been anything that we have just found one of, that we have not found there to be more than one?

If the answer is that there is no provable thing of which there is just one, why do we believe that life which, is found on the earth, is the one and only example of life that is?

I can only assume it's because the Bible doesn't SAY God crated Martians on the 8th day.
