I am not convinced until someone shows me some actual evidence.
Regardless, I am interested to see how the religious zealots will try to explain aliens when "god created man in his likeness". Oh yeah, did he create aliens in his likeness too? Or will they come up with another "immaculate conception by a ghost"-like crazy explanation noone has every heard about?
I've actually heard religious people talk about the idea of aliens.
Essentially their conclusion was that the bible doesn't rule out aliens because it doesn't say God didn't make other planets with life.
The idea of extraterrestrial life has been commonplace since the 1600s. Since then, there's been many waves of belief-disbelief in extraterrestrial life.
This won't be anything new for Christianity to ponder, and they'll have plenty of theological material to fall back on.
