We know of exactly one system with life, it seems premature to say this is the only type that could ever support life. If we find life on other planets or other solar systems would that falsify your belief in God. I'm sure it wouldn't so without being falsifiable it is not a scientific theory.
No, it won't change our faith but it will cause problems for the Bible as God did not send his only son Jesus to save aliens. In terms of science it would show that life is rare but could still exist in another place in our galaxy or universe. It may mean we could be multi-planetary.
That said, the evidence is for no aliens as enough time has passed despite the search. Will you admit there are no aliens if none is discovered by 2025?
Everyone makes mistakes, it doesn't mean everything they've done is wrong. Even the founding fathers of Christianity, Jesus and Paul made mistakes.
No, but in science it means they failed in one of the major things they were working on. The multiverse scientists have wasted their lives on it. Likely, the string, superstring, and multi-dimension scientists will have wasted their careers, too.
It's just like if the Bible was contradicted. Disproving Jesus' resurrection would destroy the religion. Aliens not as much, but it would put a blemish on the Bible. The same with the other things Antibiblists believe in such as evolution, abiogenesis, old Earth and universe, an so on.
In terms of religion, if one fails then it means they disobeyed God's one commandment like Adam and Eve, but this time end up in the wrong final destination.
There is no life outside of earth. But from alang1216 comments above you can see why they have such a deep abiding faith in the idea. They think alien life would destroy Christianity. Why they think that I don’t know. It’s just one of the tenets of their religion and you know how hard blind faith is to argue through. To them “it just must be true”
