It would probably mean a necessary rewrite of the Catechism.

The story of Genesis talks first to the creation of the universe, than specifically to this planet, then specifically to humankind. It simply doesn't address whether other planets or other species were created, but it certainly doesn't exclude that possibility.

While I admire your dedication, many others, not as commited to your belief, will IMO see it as a final nail in the OT coffin.

Some religious folks don’t believe in dinosaurs and that man was created, not evolved, 2019 years ago.
Extraterrestrial life would throw a monkey wrench in those peoples lives, but the power of denial is very strong these days.

Extraterrestrial life would throw a monkey wrench in those peoples lives, but the power of denial is very strong these days. For a little while, maybe. Such folks are relatively few in number and would pose an issue only for themselves.

On the contrary, I believe that there are many Christians that would find it difficult to come to terms with.

As I said, the power of denial is strong.

They exist. More than you realize.

To devout or strict Catholics, or anyone else whose dogma states that the world was created 5000 years ago, they are.

What does the creation of the world in 6 days have to do with the timing of creation? And you do realize that the Big Bang Theory was developed by a Catholic priest, right?

If you don't want to be challenged on a patently inaccurate statement, don't make them.

If you can't, or won't, address the original points I posed without tap dancing around them, it's best to ignore them.
