Even if they only find microbes or algae, the floodgates will be open; there would be no reason to believe at that point that there are not more advanced life forms scattered throughout the universe.
Any manner of animal life wouldn't surprise me, any more than discovering some new kind of fish in the deep ocean. But non-human beings like Klingons or Wookies? I think not.

I agree with dizerner that "Scripture implies a uniqueness to mankind".

(Aliens could confirm Christianity in some amazing way, of course. What would the non-Christians do about that!? :))
