Would the discovery of alien life discredit the bible?

The bible says God created man and the animals and the earth and the universe. Yet it does not mention life on another of the millions (billions? trillions?) of planets in the universe. So if we were to discover another planet with life, no matter how small, would that stir your belief in the bible? It would go to show that life CAN happen on its own. Or would you just shape your religion around the evidence as usual?
