Maybe. But I would love to see how mainstream religions of today try to handle a definitive proof of a separate tree of life elsewhere in space.

I'm going to guess they'll handle it the same way as they handled definitive proof that the Earth is more than a few thousand years old, that the Earth revolves around the Sun, evolution by natural selection etc etc.

Unconditional belief in the unknowable gives you an awful lot of wiggle room when it comes to evidence.
