Or maybe I'm being a silly goose
That's actually a lot more likely than anything religion has come up with.
For instance, while we live in an amazingly vast universe of billions of galaxies, each containing billions (and sometimes trillions) of stars, there are still those who believe the most important thing in all of existence was some carpenter thought to have lived on Earth around 2000 years ago.
It would really kill the Pope's authority.
However, even if we made contact with an alien civilisation, the religious extremists would stand their ground. They'd likely just claim the aliens were demons trying to deceive us or some shit like that.
Fortunately, while alien contact may not change the minds of existing religious extremists, it may well reduce the chances of such people arising in later generations.
The bible actually doesn't go into much detail as far as I can see.
" And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do; and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do."
Apparently God doesn't like people being able to accomplish amazing tasks. Hell, Genesis didn't even tell us how it was destroyed. All we have now is a series of inconsistent (go figure) accounts of how it was destroyed.
It's a shame it didn't get more time in the bible. As far as stories go, this is probably one of my favorite because it's one of the few things that could be relevant to modern humanity (working together to accomplish great tasks).
If God were real, I wonder what he would think of the Burj Khalifa [link]
