I will never understand why the possibility of life on other planets makes most religious people nervous and get into denial mode about it.

Can some one explain this for me? I would be grateful.

The way I see it if there is life out there that is as much evidence that there is a god then it is the opposite, in fact I would consider it more of a proof that god does exist and there is a bigger plan behind all of this.

 

 Being made in the image and likeness of God (Genesis 1:27), human beings have the ability to know God—and therefore love Him, worship Him, serve Him, and fellowship with Him. God did not create human beings because He needed them. As God, He needs nothing. In all eternity past, He felt no loneliness, so He was not looking for a “friend.” He loves us, but this is not the same as needing us. If we had never existed, God would still be God—the Unchanging One (Malachi 3:6).

 

He created us to love Him, to follow Him...

 

 yes I know the bible my family is half hardcore catholics and the other half hardcore greek orhodox and they all believe the bible as if their life depended on it. There is no where in the bible that states this is the only place god created life and he could aswell have created life in more planets than this one and he would still be God and humans would still love him.

Your post doesn´t answer my question.

I feel that if life was only here on earth this would be a suggestion to God not existing because something like life could happened by chance but if we have more then one place with life like ours then that would be a suggestion if not proof that there is a higher power. Just my thoughts but I would like an explanation on why it scares religious people if there would be life on other planets can you answer me this Fernando?

It would seem that religious people are hanging on to the part where we are special so hard that life elswere would make us less special and that is not even close to be true. Even if we had life in 100 000 000 planets that would still be so small part of the vast universe that we would all still be special.
