Hello @jadams2k18
Such an intriguing post..truly enjoyed reading your article.
To be honest, I believe in rationalism more than faith alone...Am not saying, there's no God or anything..but to believe in it, I need to have some legitimate proofs or, at least some rational explanations.
I mean.., why not?
On one hand, we (humans) claim to be the smartest of all the life forms exists and on the other hand, we tend to believe in something, which we can't see at all or even proof it's existence.
Moreover, the discovery of extraterrestrials is not just an idle fantasy..Many philosophers and scientists all over the world prooved their existence or at least provided with some analytical explanations regarding their existence.
Stephen Hawking once said,
"The idea that we are alone in the universe seems to me completely implausible and arrogant," he said.
"Considering the number of planets and stars that we know exist, it's extremely unlikely that we are the only form of evolved life."
And I guess, may be, this discovery may temper our religious beliefs in a good way...
Thank you @crypto.piotr for providing the link of such an awesome post.

Hello, @jeoleena!
I'm glad you took the time to stop by
I agree with what you say. And I like that you support a positive version of the influence extraterrestrials would have on religions.
Maybe it will make us reflect on the premises that we know as "truths". But not for bad, but to be more humble in front of a vast universe, maybe it will broaden our thinking to understand a new concept of God.
Greetings!
Thanks for coming
