Would Finding Alien Life Change Religious Philosophies?

72. They've been changed a great deal by advances in knowledge.

While their philosophical tenets may have remained essentially the same, their explanation for things have changed a great deal.

How could the resurrection be changed by "advances in knowledge"? Going to heaven has nothing to do with science and science has provided nothing that would prove that there is no heaven or that people don't go there after death.

The flood story is a great example, as I think most people see this as allegory, even if there may have been a time when most took it literally.

There is no evidence for or against an immortal soul. You have no more basis to take a definitive position than a believer does.

Where did I make the claim that science would lead to a new and significant religious belief?

Now you are just grasping at straws.

You don't believe any of this stuff. That's cool. Other people do. That's cool too. You are not wiser or smarter than they, you just have a different POV.
