Well that was offensive. I don't know any atheists who believe that aliens have ever come into contact with humans or that they even exist for that matter and that includes myself. For me I only acknowledge the fact that there is a possibility of life on other planets. Please avoid stereotypes and making uneducated assumptions about people.

More than likely there's alien animals running around on different planets, but you never know, there might be intelligent life out there. In the Bible it says that God made us in His image. That can mean one of two things. 1.) He actually made us look like him or
2.) He made us spiritually and mentally like Him. If it is the latter there may be other humans or humanoids out there. Just a thought.

The bible does not clearly state that the earth is a sphere, but that its a circle.

The word in Hebrew could mean "globe" or "circle".

It does not refer to a flat disk. Christopher Columbus saw that verse and decided and claimed the Earth was a sphere.

You know what shocked me when I read this thread?

It's this kid asking "am I allowed to believe in aliens?"

Doesn't that sound eerie and cultist to you guys? You have to ask before you can believe something? That's sad. You should believe whatever you have good evidence for...

I do not believe in aliens, but I also do not think it contradicts the faith in anyway.

The thing is, they would not be intelligent, they would just be animals.

You see, the Bible says that what makes human beings different, is that we are made in God's image.

The animals are not made in God's image.

What does that mean? It means we have characteristics of God that the animals do not have.. like high intelligence, creativity, we are moral beings... The animals do not have these characteristics, but God does, and it's these attributes which make us 'made in God's image" I believe.

So I would not expect alien life to have any of these characteristics, becuase noone else is made in God's image like we are.. Meaning if they are out there, they would just be animals.
