    Life of any kind on other worlds would upend lots of religious doctrine which insists that this place is special and that life was specifically put here for us.

    But then again that assumes that these religions are logically consistent, so it probably wouldn’t matter.

      Yeah. If they classify microbial life because it conflicts with religious dogma then you’d expect them to classify any scientific finding that conflicts with religious dogma, which doesn’t seem to be the case.
