The idea of life in outer space doesn't affect my religious belief any. My gods, my world. If other people were created by the same gods, it would make sense to me in the sense that the same gods could have created everything that exists. If they were created by other gods, then it would make sense in the same way that there can be more than one company that builds houses.

If we believe in God and the Holy Bible as the Word of God, we would not believe that there is life in outer space. God created everything in six days including the stars some of which we call planets and there's no mention of God creating life in other planets. God gave to men to rule over all His creation. Our globe shows that the earth is round and that has been scientifically proven. The Holy Bible states "circle of the earth" which also shows that the earth is round. That flat earth may have been taken from the book of Revelation, but definitely, that is not how it should be understood.

Accordingly to what we know today, yes, life on other planets is a real possibility, how big or small is a question open to debate. I don't think it will affect beliefs in the same way, for example, for people that believe that humans are special, one time creations of god, then it will be shocking, others would see it as a way of making their god even greater, others yet could see these other planets as sin-free planets, were there was no fall. The possibilities are almost endless.
