Jet Black said:well sort out this solar system first. we could be on the moon and mars by now if the governments hadn't sat around firing missiles at people and lowering tax for rich people.
Jet Black said:well I think that the EM spectrum would still be a pretty important method of communication, unless they have some fantasmagorical quantum relativistic thingummybob... so if they use EM they should be quite noticeable.
Aceldama said:Yer true, but I mean, if money was not an issue at all. Then our current technology can get us colonising past Alpha Centauri right? Even if it would take 120 years to get there...
Ah, but then we face the annoying problem of "how do we stop?"OneLargeToe said:I think I've read where they could create propulsion systems now that could get us there in 50 years or so. Would just cost a bazillion dollars.
OneLargeToe said:I'd like to point out that there isn't any proof that aliens exist. Although I'm sure there is life beyond Earth, and I wouldn't be surprised if some form of primitive life is found in our solar system over the next few decades.
However, if contact with an extraterrestrial civilization does occur and these beings never had a god concept or one radically different from our views, I'd say that would stir up some serious theological issues in Earth's religions.
I have an idea - perhaps the discussion of what hypothetical aliens may or may not believe and its hypothetical impact on earth's religion or science is really refined iffy speculation.pudmuddle said:However if contact with an extraterrestrial civilization does occur and these beings had only a literal concept of God and evolution had never occured to them, I'd say it would stir up some serious problems in scientific circles. Esp. if they were highly intelligent.

How do you know there are no aliens? The Bible never says humans were the only beings in the image of God, or the only planet with life is earth.obediah001 said:This is a silly discussion here; there are no aliens of life period in space, anywhere.

nephilimiyr said:LOL, random thought for you but it is my belief!
The "sons of God" that you referred to as the angels in Genesis 6 are actually fallen angels. The alien abductions we hear about today I believe are of the same phenomenon.
I believe in this phenomenon but I don't believe these aliens are a people from another world. I believe they are fallen angels and not with God.
Siliconaut said:*gg* Something tells me (in fact, it's a hunch that's jumping up and down, biting me in the knee) that obediah is in fact a troll in disguise. Probably, the Evil Atheist Conspiracy is to blame.
I'll call them on Monday during office hours and ask if they have a particularly evil agent running amok in the forum...
T.R.D. said:If God created the universe and life only exists on earth, why is space so big? If that is the case, then why does space exist at all?
Do you believe that the sun revolves around the earth?
I disagree Joehnieboy, If God created us is because He is God and pleased him to do so, he created the Human to live Happy and not to Sin, so he created us for love as it's what he really is. You're wrong that god created Adam and Eva because he knew they were going to sin and you say he knows it everything..... ok but he gave them a choise and warned them about temptations the devil had in mind, so who did they listen instead? The Devil and it's why Sin excists today. God Gave them a choise either to live full of love OR to Sin, They chose to Sin, and here we are. But God Loves us so much that he sent his own son JESUS to die for OUR SINS. And that's why we have the opportunity to go to heaven and live For Ever.johnieboy_13 said:But, you ask, if God knows everything, then He would have known that humans would sin before he even created the universe. So why did He create it? He had to show man his options. These are just my thoughts, but it gives you something to think about.
How can you even begin to say that...obediah001 said:This is a silly discussion here; there are no aliens of life period in space, anywhere. Jesus created it all & He did it for His purpose here on planet earth with mankind.
Mac6yver- Obediah001 likes to make absurd statements to get people riled up, do not feed into it, that is what he wants. We think he may be a "troll"Mac6yver said:How can you even begin to say that...
We couldn't expand for ever. The universe isn't expanding in the sense that new planets are being created.johnieboy_13 said:Their expansion would be infinite, just like the universe.
