Always I am asking myself, if there was discovered ETs in the Universe, it is intelligent Extraterrestial life? How this would fit in God. In the beliefs of God? And mainly with the creationism. How would explain the creationism this? But we have to add a problem. We know that is almost 100% that outside in the space exist as minimium unicellulars lifes. How that fit in the creationist theory? God also created unicellular lifes outside the Earth?
Usually, the Christians just expand their belief that God also created them. NOW, the interesting part is if those Aliens also believed in a God. That God of course had a different name, but it was basically the same deity as rules of engagement are concerned on how one deals with ones life. That would be interesting. Just like there was no atheism (back in the day) why would we assume that aliens would be atheist? If there is aliens I bet they believe in something close to a deity!
Something vaguely similar to human deities seems to be a natural consequence of hierarchical societies. If their society is roughly similar to ours, I would expect that their religions would be vaguely similar (not in details, but in overall objectives and methods) as well. Religions are products of society.
I guess it would depend on whether or not relatively extra-terrestrials visited them early in their development and insisted upon being worshipped.
My understanding of the Christian creation story is that God created the universe, not just Earth. So, it stands to reason that he/she/it also created extraterrestrial life. Though my theory is somewhat different -- the ETs actually created God, not in physicality, but rather deeply-seeded in human DNA as a universal energy from a different dimension and that ETs are actually not from "space" as much as they are from "time" and are interdimensional intelligences of pure energy. Of course the Native American creation story attributes all things to the Buffalo Mother so it is hard to say if she also created ETs in that mythology -- certainly NAs were seeing UFOs as cave drawings indicate -- the chariots of the gods and whatnot.
al-Fatiha, verse 2: Praise be to God, the Lord of the worlds Take it for what it's worth but anyway I think it's foolish to think a universe that with so many galaxies that ours is the only one with life. Salam
That is a possibility. But, what if that "did" happen and now it's a totally different "kind" of alien?
As a Christian, Im not worried as there are no extraterrestials out there. God, in the Bible has given already how the world will end. And new life forms don't play a role. The only other life is the Spiritual life that exists, but which is unseen. Angels, demons, etc. Quantrill
An alien lands, steps out of the saucer, him and the human exchange small talk: Human: Do you know of Jesus my friend? Alien: Oh so you know Christ too? Human: Oh yes, I am quite familiar. Alien: Yeah, he returns every other week. We buy him dinner, a box of chocolates, and a movie. What did you do the last time he came around? Human:.....
Atheism is likely as old as religion. The earliest evidence we have of atheism is among the Ancient Greeks. Granted, they had to be creative about it or face charges of blasphemy.
The catholic church came out a few years ago with a decree that the existance of non-earth based life does not at all contridict the existence of god. The bible never once says that earth was the only planet with live that god created.
Well, perhaps the Catholic Church is afraid you will find some life out there and then they don't know how they will explain it. I know you will not find any life out there. God can create whatever He wants. But He has chosen the earth to be the center of life. And we have the begining and end of the story of which alien life is not a part of. Because there is no alien life. But, go ahead and waste your money looking for it. Quantrill
I have told you how I know this. Because God has given us the record of the creation and aliens are not involved. No aliens. Yes, this record is the Bible. This is how I know. Quantrill
Just that such a belief is quite arrogant and ignorant. The belief that a universe billions of light years across was made just for you. It is amusing.
So, you have no actual evidence to support your position? I think at this time I need to ask you to prove that extra terrestrials do not exist. To do that, I'm going to need to see some evidence.
Yes, I have evidence. I have the Bible that is the Word of God and gives no room for any extra terrestrials. Quantrill
The bible also does not give room for humans traveling to the moon. Probably because it was written before such an idea was conceivable for mankind. It's of course also possible that the whole moon-landing thing was a hoax and that the earth does indeed stand on pillars and never moves such as Psalm 104 suggests. Believe that if you want.
