NASA hasn't hired theologians to study reaction to alien life

I remember being very sad reading your story. Because if I can't theologically discuss aliens for NASA my whole life has been a failure

How does the reality effect religions?

The lies and deception are the sad thing.

Indeed. How else would you classify extraterrestrial and or interdimensional beings?

Well, they are a world wealth center sited near the old Babylon where the souls of men are traded (Gulf countries' abuse and maltreatment of foreign workers is well known). We simply don't know the numbers for human trafficking with veracity for the region. One wonders, if the US were to fragment, if the region with its tremendous capital would become the new Babylon.

Does the reality of et confirm the major religions, or expose them?

Confirm some, expose others. Those exposed will go to extraordinary lengths to flip their theology to accommodate the aliens and ally with them. The litmus tests is whether the "aliens" confess that Jesus is God's Son come in the flesh and that He is the way to salvation. If they offer another way to salvation or deny the Lordship of Jesus, then be warned.

I wouldn't get hung up on a name. Jesus' own mother wouldn't immediately recognize the name "Jesus Christ". If these hypothetical aliens come preaching selfless love, equal justice and fellowship, then they are from God. If they come with hatred and greed then they are not of Him. Or maybe they're like us, a mixed bag

Oh man, I think it'd be hilarious to watch NASA management try to system engineer a religious explanation document together.

Avionics gets angelology because it has wings. Electrical engineering gets the Holy Spirit because it's felt but not seen.
Mechanical team gets Genesis because duh they get to explain design to someone
Morton Thikol is in charge of intercessanary prayer because of their terrible design choices and it's consequences.
A random manufacturing group out in California gets to explain the New Testament because the California Senators vote was required to get this budget passed.
Houston management is in charge of putting it all together. Upon launch they realize half of it cites the New King James Version, the other half is the NIV.

You forgot that it will be years behind schedule and millions over budget.

I thought that was a little too easy and I couldn't think of a whole biblical category that easily represents being behind budget and time.

"If these hypothetical aliens come preaching selfless love, equal justice and fellowship, then they are from God."

No. Anybody can preach that.

Galatians 1:8-
But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.

John 14:6

Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

John 3:5:

Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit."

This reality goes beyond salvation. I hear what you are saying. 5 yrs ago I would have said same.

The reality confirms (they installed much of it) and exposes it.
