Does a New Planet Challenge Christianity?

The science is one thing. What about the theology? Some Christians are adamant that there can't be life on other planets because Genesis doesn't mention it. That requires a particular view of Genesis, of course, and most Christians would say that it wasn't designed as a scientific textbook. We shall have to see: and the significance of the discovery of this new planet is that for the first time in history the prospect of being able to do so has opened up before us. If there's life out there, we might find it.
