If UFO's are proven to be 100% real, what happens to your faith?

[Basil the Great]

Since quite a few here at CF are totally convinced that aliens have not visited the Earth, I have a question. If the the U.S. government were to ever publicly admit that UFO's are indeed visitors from space and that they have visited the Earth in recent years, what impact would such have upon your faith, if any?

I'm not convinced but I doubt that such a discovery would impact my faith. I grew up reading Lewis' Space Trilogy and watching Star Trek

Well, technically and by definition an alien is a life form that did not originate on Earth so we know that God and the angels are aliens. So it boils down not to whether there are aliens, but are there aliens that are not God and the angels.

Could God create other life forms on other planets? Sure, the bible doesn't forbid that.

Mostly my faith in humanity. Because there are 10,000 times and many smart phones with cameras as there were 30 years ago. So 10,000 times as many people are hiding their pictures of aliens and UFO's as there was in the past. They are hiding all these pictures from me and I am very sad they would fool me like that. I would be very depressed.

It would not affect my faith. I think it is both naive and arrogant of us to think we are God's only creations in a vast universe.

There is only one Jesus. E A R T H. Jesus

There is only one Jesus. E A R T H. Jesus

Why can't the one Jesus be God and Savior of multiple worlds?

 

[Platte]

That would be absolute proof that the Bible is a hoax. End of story.

How?

One might as well believe in everything that we have no evidence for.
We might be a speck of seaweed stuck in the teeth of a cosmos sized whale.

 

[Fervent]

Knee-jerk is to say my faith would be unaffected.

But deeper consideration tells me that it would depend on whether this alien race had any sort of divine revelation.

 

[Platte]

How?

In multiple ways. Key ones off hand to me are
1. The whole premise of the Bible is the creation of Earth and life on Earth
2. Jesus was Gods only son and died for us. The whole point of creation.
3. Would in all practicality prove evolution

Jesus died once

That is an incredibly big "If..."

Such aliens are hypothetical.
No one must answer for their existence at this point.

Conversely, if we fashion a rationale for their existence,

and they are shown to not exist,​

our faith becomes a malleable fiction.
(Hint: we are not the "authors" of our faith [Hebrews 12:2]; we cannot rewrite it, at-will.)

The same "catch-22" applies to self-aware AI.
All we can do is "wait & see," but I am not holding my breath.

I never had much faith in the government, so not much of a problem there.

The bible does focus on life on this planet. Doesn't mean life doesn't exist elsewhere.

2. Jesus was Gods only son and died for us. The whole point of creation.

Still doesn't affect the possibility of life on other planets. This only shows that life on this planet was treated in more of a special way.

3. Would in all practicality prove evolution

Life on another planet doesn't affect how God created life here.

Why can't the one Jesus be God and Savior of multiple worlds?

Because he is human. He is the savior of humans. Humans are from earth.

 

[ewq1938]

Jesus died once

Sure but that just means his death here wasn't for the sins of living beings elsewhere. Jesus didn't die for angels either so I don't think this argument is very strong.

Notice how there is no life outside earth.
