Is there life on other planets?

[klewlis]

I will have to say no. God made the universe for us.

I disagree. He may have made our particular planet for us, but not the entire universe. Current Trinitarian theology says that God's nature is to create--creation is a necessary consequence of Triune love. Therefore, the universe was created because God is naturally creative, not so that WE could be the center of it. I don't see why we should limit His creative ability by saying that we are the ONLY life (is there only one species of flower??) in this entire vast universe. It seems rather arrogant.

I agree that he created something besides us, angels of course. But in this universe? No. This is but one of an infinite possible places to create. Saying He would need to cram more than 1 race per universe is what is demeaning.

By the way, do you speak Latin natively?

So... you evidence for no aliens is it doens't talk about them in the bible? The bible desn't mention nuclear fusion or the internal combustion engine either. I suppose they don't exsist.

 

[chilehed]

...Could there be life out there? I don't think the idea would be in conflict with the Bible. However unlikely or likey there is still a chance that we are not alone.

Quite simply, we don't know. There's no evidence one way or the other, and the Bible doesn't speak to it.

There is no real evidence on them. Even governments have nothing on them besides circumstancial stuff. And why would Godputthem in this universe? Why not another? It just doesn't add up. And, besides that, it largely irrelevant. So what if they do exist? We still die, and we still go to heaven or hell.

100 years ago there wasn't any evidence for flying faster than sound. Didn't mean it couldn't be done. Why would god put internal combustion in the universe? I would be REALLY careful about the "no evidence means they don't exsist" argument if I were you.

By the way, non Christians aren't allowed to answer questions here. And anyways, who are you to lecture about "no evidence doesn't mean it doesn't exist"? You're an athiest!

They aren't? Oh ok I just read that rule when you posted this reply. The only reason I came here was cause space and astronomy is a point of interest for me.

 

[Bizzlebin Imperatoris]

Oh, it's no problem. You could start a thread on this in debate maybe. You might get better answers. If my government ever finds aliens, I'll let you know though

I think I will do that. I thought this was the debate thing since I followed a diffrtent link to this one.

No problem! God bless your search for truth!

cram?

that's like asking why God would cram more than one starfish in the sea!

 

[klewlis]

no, of course not. Nobody speaks latin natively. At least, there is not currently any culture on earth that makes latin its native language. I do, however, know a few people who teach it to their children from very young languages, and they would likely be the closest to speaking it natively. Even then, their first language is something else.

Incorrect. My kingdom does, and I am sure the Vatican does as well.

In the beginning, God created the heavens(space) and the earth. Gen 1:1

And he answered and said unto them, Have you not read, that he made them at the beginning, made them male and female.. Mat 19:4
"For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day..." Exodus 20:11

Just a little sidenote, not to show any further of my side (the second post here) It does not say that God created the angels there, but He did, so the bible really doesn't tell us, but since it doesn't, as Christians, it doesn't concern us. Read my post for my thoughts on, say, crop circles and other things like that.

 

[Bizzlebin Imperatoris]

God may have created them along with man, or even before the universe. After all, the universe is but a creation as well.

 

[Live4Christ4961]

yeah, i wuz just talking about like, aliens and stuff like that on other planets, but ur right it doesnt say he created the angels

For discussion:

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

This consists of the universe, and the earth. All of His literal creation happened right there. The rest are suppliments. I don't think there are aliens, that the occurrences are seeds of the devil meant to be sown in the end times to keep people from coming to Christ.
