I thought the current American government is more Christian minded, and if life's found on another planet.......

Why is life on other planets incompatible with Christianity?

If you take the Bible literally (and some do), then there is no room in Scripture for the possibility of life on other planets - it breaks the whole "Earth created in six days" and "Garden of Eden" biz. I wouldn't be surprised if some people would totally deny life could exist on other planets - some still deny that other planets exist at all!

"Give a monkey a brain and it'll think it's the centre of the universe."

Genesis never excludes creation on other planets, it just details creation on this one. As far as the bible is concerned, we may just be one "room" in the "mansion [that has] many rooms"

Let the apologetics begin...

Apologetics? Show me something that requires apologetics. There's nothing in the bible that states there's no life on other planets.

Creationism requires apologetics, life on other planets doesn't. In fact, many read it specifically believing life on other planets.
