"That was a movie. Imagine what would happen if we had real-world proof of the existence of intelligent life on other planets: That would violate whole piles of fundamental religious tenets. For Catholics one big problem would be original sin, which is supposed to have happened right here, in a place called the Garden of Eden, leading to the notion of redemption through Christ. If aliens don’t fit into this story, Christianity turns out to be a pretty provincial affair. How would theologians respond to that? How would any religion?"

"When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. Then the Lord said, “My Spirit will not contend with humans forever, for they are mortal; their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”
The Nephilim were on the earth in those days—and also afterward—when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown." - Gen 6:1-4
The term 'sons of God' is bene elohim in Hebrew, which always elsewhere refers to angels.
Some people will say anything to convince themselves that the Bible and Christianity are wrong...
