Would things and the way we live change from a simple discovery of bacteria? Would this affect your beliefs? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1181829Not if....when. And to answer your questions, I would feel unsurprised. The world would feel themselves in the genital region. Nothing would change. Luckily I don't cling to any fairy tails so my beliefs would not be affected. |

Lucky Charms User ID: 1181822 Ireland 12/02/2010 10:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Good question! We all know that contact with an advanced civilisation or indeed any "intelligent" life would be world changing instantly. But the discovery of microbes on some nearby exoplanet wouldn't. Personally I would be just as ecstatic, galactic federation or bacteria doesn't matter to me... Just life, simple life is enough to vindicate our existence, it's enough to change how we feel when we look up at the night sky. Confirmation of life independent of Earth would mean we must come together as a species and be more of a community... simply because we don't know what else may be out there... It would raise some questions for organized religions too that's for sure. It's obvious given the size and scale of just our galaxy that there must be life elsewhere... but we have never found any... so the discovery of even just microbial life would finally answer the greatest question of our existence. "Are we all there is?" ...finally we would have an answer... "No... There is more!" 'Magically Delicious' |

That would really be paradigm-changing, for those who grasp it. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1010977People, there is already no doubt about life in other planets, just you were not aware of it. In 1997, Biospherics' President and CEO, Dr. Gilbert V. Levin, announced his new conclusion that his 1976 Viking Labeled Release (LR) life detection experiment found living microorganisms in the soil of Mars. Objective application of the scientific process to 21 years of continued research and to new developments on Mars and Earth forced this conclusion. Of all the many hypotheses offered over the years to explain the LR Mars results, the only possibility fitting all the relevant data is that microbial life exists in the top layer of the Martian surface.
