Aliens

Post by sheltiez »

Do you believe that there is other life besides what is on earth? Could another planet be inhabited? What do you think as a Christian?

My inclination is there probably isn't anything too exciting out there, although there is certainly the possibility...

If there is anything intelligent enough to be of any interest out there I assume we are distant enough that there will never ever be any interaction between us, so meh. ;)

As a Christian... I... don't think my faith has any affect on my view of aliens. >_>

It's a definite possibility that there is other lifeforms out there. Or the rats and mice are controlling us. Not sure which.

I don't think we'll ever really know, and I think all the alien conspiracy theories are dumb.

I'm not sure why it would have an effect on anyone's faith, though.

I believe that there are other planets out there that are inhabited by other creatures. I think that the earth is the only one that has fallen and that the other ones are still perfect. I know it sounds wierd, but it is what I believe from studying the Bible and reading what theologists say on the subject.

Would that mean that those people had the ability to resist Satan's temptations, while humans did not? How does that work with the bible's saying 'All have sinned'?

Personally, I don't believe in aliens (beings on other planets).

What part of the Bible? Which theologists?

Of course there's aliens. All you need to do to find that out is watch Ancient Aliens for like 5 minutes. They're obviously behind all of the world's greatest wonders.
