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

[wendykvw]

Sure. Ike himself rold my dad that. They were in the same outfit during the War.

No evidence. Want me to believe a weird story? Give me some evidence. Tell me "aliens took me out of my bed, carried me to Procyon 7, stuffed things up my bum, then brought me back in time for breakfast" I somehow can't bring myself to accept it at face value. Your mileage may vary

I am the cook, and the captain bold, and the mate of the Nancy brig, and the boatswain tight, and the midship mite, and the crew of the captain's gig. Show me your evidence that I'm not. Oh, and I'm rightwise born king of all England. And I designed a perpetual motion machine that would provide everyone limtless free energy forever, but Big Oil stole it, had my patent suppressed, killed me (I got better), and sold it to aliens for a handful of magic beans. Prove me wrong.

It is irrelevant to me what you believe. If you want evidence or proof do your own research. The burden of proof is on your shoulders.

 

[ViaCrucis]

Credible eyewitnesses in the Military and in the Eisenhower Administration have confirmed that this did occur. Why do you disbelieve abductions? What is your evidence that they do not occur?

If they are credible witnesses then why is this the first time I--and I'm going to guess the same is true for a lot of people here--am hearing this? While I'm not going to claim my memory of high school American history concerning the Eisenhower era is particularly great, I have a sneaking suspicion I'd remember something like, "Oh, and by the way, aliens are real. President Eisenhower made a treaty with them."

As for my evidence that they do not occur, that's not how evidence works. I could just as easily ask you for your evidence that fuzzy rainbow unicorns don't really exist.

Again, that's not how the burden of proof works. The burden of proof always falls upon the one making the positive claim. That's just how it works.

As is the burden on you to prove that I'm not Elvis Presley.

You want anyone to belive in aliens, or demon driven flying saucers? Or any kind of flying saucers, driven by anyone, or interstellar travel of any kind? Gimme a reason other than that "the universe is really big", which is ridiculous. You gotta show me something, otherwise I'm going to put those things in the same category as the Dreaded Tennessee Hoop Snake.

 

[Jipsah]

"Oh, and by the way, aliens are real. President Eisenhower made a treaty with them."

Little Koown Fact: Ike was the only president who ever had the authority to have the US enter into a treaty without having it ratified by the Senate. I wonder who signed off on it on behalf of the Spacemen.

As for my evidence that they do not occur, that's not how evidence works. I could just as easily ask you for your evidence that fuzzy rainbow unicorns don't really exist.

My granddad told me about the Dreaded Tennessee Hoop Snake, so I know that's true. He said one bit his boot once, and the boot died and had to be buried. Anyone who doesn't believe that better be able prove their point else we're gonna to have to fight.

 

[Gregory Thompson]

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?

If an aircraft altered to look like UFOs contained Genetically Modified people, claiming to be aliens - it wouldn't affect much.

 

[Juan777]

You know, I've already accepted the fact that UFOs are 100% real. I have watched lots of Ancient Aliens, The Secrets of Skinwatcher Ranched (regrettably missed the 3rd season), UnXplained, and other UFO content so I think by now I should be a UFO expert. But I also don't really care about it or them since they too are subject to the name of Jesus. You just call out to Jesus and you will be fine. In this sense, they prove the power of Jesus rules over them and that no true Christian can get abducted. Do not telepathically communicate with them or you could be inviting spirits. I think if you have your wits about you then you will be okay. Nothing to worry about.

 

[Walk together]

Absolutely no effect at all because I already believe aliens exist and have been on earth throughout the history of mankind. They are from the union of the sons of God mating with human women from Genesis and the book of Enoch.

They are called angels, not aliens.

I Don’t Know About Tomorrow,
I Just Live From Day To Day.
I Don’t Borrow From It’s Sunshine,
For It’s Skies May Turn To Gray.
I Don’t Worry Over The Future,
For I Know What Jesus Said,
And Today I’ll Walk Beside Him,
For He Knows What Is Ahead.

Many Things About Tomorrow,
I Don’t Seem To Understand;
But I Know Who Holds Tomorrow,
And I Know Who Holds My Hand.

 

[Jipsah]

Who are? "Alien" refers to hypothetical physical beings of extra terrestrial origin. "Angel" refers to spiritual beings created as servants to God. Not the same critters at all. Christians accept the existence of angels (and rebellious angels commonly referred to as demons) on the authority of Scripture. The existence of aliens is purely a matter of conjecture, since there is no hard evidence to show that they exist at all.

So who are you talking about?

You miss the point the fallen angels are masquerading as aliens something that does not exist. If the fallen Angels came as they really are then they could not deceive as many people as they do.

Do your own research, don’t expect other people to do the work for you. Have a great week.

Depends how you understand "positive claim." But arguing burden of proof is rarely a fruitful endeavor.

 

[Jipsah]

Sure. UNIDENTIFED flying objects. If you see something flying, and don't know what it is, it's a UFO. Most are airplanes, but that's no fun, is it?

Flying saucers, though. Nah. No reason AT ALL to believe they exist. No evidence. None. Zero. Narya bit.

YIou want to believe in them on faith? Suit yourself, I'll pass.

I have watched lots of Ancient Aliens, The Secrets of Skinwatcher Ranched (regrettably missed the 3rd season), UnXplained, and other UFO content so I think by now I should be a UFO expert.

KInda like being an expert on frindoofali. THere ain't any frindoofali.

No effect here. Christians shouldn’t have any problems believing in intelligent life that is not from this planet.

 

[BNR32FAN]

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.

Amen the Bible wasn’t intended to reveal everything.

 

[BNR32FAN]

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.

We’re not hiding anything my friend…scout’s honor

 

[BNR32FAN]

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

The Bible was never intended to reveal everything otherwise it would be ridiculously longer than it already is. If there is other intelligent life out there the Bible wasn’t intended for them or intended to reveal them to us. So naturally a book of this nature might only refer to us and earth.

Where does the Bible actually state that the purpose of creation was for Christ to die for us? I’m not familiar with that verse.

How in the world does the existence of aliens prove evolution? That’s wouldn’t be true at all if God created them like he did us.

 

[Basil the Great]

I can only assume that based upon the bulk of the responses here, that if aliens ever do land on Earth in i

No effect here. Christians shouldn’t have any problems believing in intelligent life that is not from this planet.

Your answer is an interesting one However, based upon the vast majority of the answers given in this thread, it would appear that if somehow, someway, humanoid alien life, not angels or demons, were to land on Earth in a manner which was undeniable, then there would be faith issues for many Christians.

 

[BNR32FAN]

Jesus died once

Yes for all
