Why can`t an alien race find us after 14 billion years?

In other words in Psalms 19, the sky declares not outer space.
In this context, "the heavens" and "the skies" refer to the visible expanse above us—the sky, the sun, the moon, and the stars. It is a poetic expression highlighting how the natural world reveals the majesty and creativity of God. The Psalmist uses this imagery to convey that the beauty and order of the sky reflect God's glory and handiwork.

No it is not just in this context. This is The Bible's creation account which is recorded in Genesis 1. God created an expanse that is separating waters (water below seas and waters above) and it is in this expanse. Where God placed the lights (sun, moon and stars) He created, to give light to the earth. God also called this expanse heaven or also known in the English language as the sky

Yes, Science knows a lot of the physics and the laws that God uses in all that He does. The Bible gives us a quick out line but Science has hundreds of thousands of books that fill in the details. God uses Science to bring honor and glory to Himself. As mankind grows and matures in wisdom and in knowledge.

While the Bible provides foundational truths and principles, science offers detailed insights into the mechanisms of creation. Faith provides the "why" of creation, offering purpose and meaning, while science explores the "how," uncovering the processes and laws that govern the natural world.

By embracing both faith and science, we can gain a fuller understanding of the world and our place within it. It's a journey of discovery that continually reveals new facets of the divine.

So what part of The Bible states God gave man science so he, man can tell mankind about God's creation.

That is kind of like saying we have been given art historians so they can tell us how Rembrandt painted, interesting people think this way.

"As in the days of Noah."

The "Bible" is not a mere history book/s, It is what was, what is and what shall be.

Today there is a flood, a flood of information like never before.

Yet, as in the days of Noah, the earth opened ,sprouting fountains of water which can be seen as science.

The heavens opened and poured out, can be seen as spirituality in abundance.

Therefore it is thought that Torah and science will converge toward the end of the current era.

Bringing the Messiah, peace and harmony.

Well, one way of seeing it.

Let`s say the universe is really 14 billion years old, why haven`t an civilisation manage to make technlogy to find us? It`s been 14 billion years, and no aliens can find us ... We went from the old days, to explore space in just 50-100 years, think about 14 billion years then


Nailing it down to 14 billion years, ok, so what was before the 14 billion years?

Like when I was younger much younger, on a clear summer day with a clear blue sky I would lay on the grass and stare up at the sky

trying to see where it ended.

I saw no end, and if I did, what was there beyond the end?

I gave up and realized it was a fools mission that I had set for myself and came away with, "From ever to ever".

Conclusion was for me then, all is futlity. Haha.
