What would happen to faith (particuallly the book of Genesis in the Bible) if we made Alien Contact?

Would contact with Alien lifeforms topple established religion? Would new religions form around the Aliens? Would current religion be able to survive alongside the new discovery?

I had a religious friend who kinda just figured God wouldn't have made such a big universe if he wasn't gonna populate it with other life.

@BlueVeins Hey, your friend could be right, who knows. Some divine creator could exist beyond the multiverse. We'd never know. String theory/Parallel Universe Theory/Multiverse Theory have opened up many many possibilities.
