Why would this radically change Christianity? Because of the book of genesis? A book that wasn't created as a piece of Christian doctrine? What is so out of line with the creationist theory (thats what its called right)? Would it be impossible for an omnipotent all-powerful god to create the world in seven days? or better yet what is time to God, seeing as to he is the beginning and the end?
The book of genesis is a means to explaining our creation on earth, it was written several thousands of years ago, and as it goes now PJP II found that the big bang and (I believe) evolution fit in as a means of our creation.
As a practicing Catholic I have no problem believing that there is other life out there. I think it is nieve to think otherwise. Furthermore beliving this in no way discredits me or my faith.
