I've said it before and I'll say it again: there is absolutely nothing that ever has been or ever will be discovered by the light of science that can contradict the truths of the Christian faith. Anyone who says otherwise either:
1) Doesn't understand the science
2) Doesn't understand the faith
3) Is selling a book
I've never understood the belief prevalent in some atheist circles that the discovery of extraterrestrial life - or even something as simple as water on Mars - would prove devastating to the faith. Angels and demons, hello? All non-heretical Christians already acknowledge the existence of intelligent, non-human life in the universe. The implications of the existence of extraterrestrial life for Christianity has already been explored at length by C.S. Lewis, among other writers, thinkers, and theologians. Even granting that aliens exist - and there is no evidence that they do - truth cannot contradict truth.
I guess one can't be too careful in what one reads if one is committed to "antitheism."
