Do You Believe There are Aliens? - Page 5

Yes, there are "aliens". I was one. I have proof:

Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

But seriously, folks:

Of the millions of stars in the universe, being orbited by an unknown number of planets, I believe the chances of "alien" life is very real. What form that life takes is anyones guess, but yes, I do believe in the possibilty that life exists elsewhere. Have they visited earth? No. I think most of the "sightings" are either active imaginations, optical allusions, explainable objects (planes, weather balloons", etc.). Spirits? I think not.

As a side note: Remember on Star Trek when they would travel to distant worlds and refer to the beings they encountered as "aliens"? I wonder why it never occurred to Captain Kirk and the crew of the USS Enterprise that is was they, themselves, who were the "aliens".

<---humming the "beautiful alien woman" theme, as "she" tries to seduce Kirk.

Huh... not to say that I'm admitting to ever watching Star Trek. Just a mere observation.

"Beam me up Scotty"

Star Trek trivia time! Captain James T. Kirk of the USS Enterprize NEVER uttered the words "Beam me up, Scotty"

But he DID utter "Thats enough you two!" -to a feuding Spock and McCoy.

He also said "Bones! ....Have you.... lost.... your mind?"

I have worked with cows. I have milked cows, I have bred cows. I have birthed cows, I've medicated cows and I have buried cows. I even rode a cow. I've seen smart cows, and, yes, I have seen goofy cows. In all my cowboy years, however, I have never seen a bucked tooth cow. Bucked toothed cows do not exist.

No, I do NOT believe that there are aliens (living entities) within the universe we live in, or any other universe for that matter! Either mankind (you and I) are God's "greatest" creation, or we are nothing. Although I am well aware of the fact that there are some (hopefully not many) who embrace a belief in some type of life other than mankind present somewhere else within the "universe of universes," however as for me, either God considers me to be the "apple of His eye," or I am nothing more than a mere piece of clay.

Where in the Bible is it to be found that God created other life-forms on some other planet in the vastness of universe? If this were true, then would it not represent deception on His part in concealing such important information from mankind? If it were true that God created some type of living creatures on other planets, then rest assured they were NOT created "in his image," for ONLY mankind bears this unique resemblance to the One who created ALL things!

Angels and demons inhabit the Universe. They are what we would call "aliens".

Some day satan is going to COME DOWN to earth visibly.

7: And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8: And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9: And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10: And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11: And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12: Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Rev. 12:7-12

One day many aliens will come to the Earth. They will mightily deceive men.

Oh, come on, now. Because God didn't tell us there is life anywhere else in the universe, than there is no possibility that it exists? Following that logic then, America, Canada and Mexico do not exist, because there is no biblical record for the existence of a continent named North America. Or South America for that matter.

Israel existed because it is mentioned in the Bible. Egypt as well. The "important information" of extra-terrestrail life that you say God is concealing is not so important because, with the distances between galaxies measured in light years, the possiblity of discovering other life forms is zero. Zilch. Nada. So why would God bother telling us about our "neighbors" in another solar system when we have absolutely no chance of ever encountering them?

And we're not necessarily talking about intelligent, humanoid life forms (even though, given the millions if not billions of planets in the universe, there may very well be intelligent beings). It seems somebody has seen too many X Files shows. We're talking about a life form that may be nothing more than a single cell amoeba. Here on earth, we are discovering life forms even to this day that have never been known to exist. Science tells us that with the vastness and complexity of space, the chances of life on other planets is actually quite high. But thats science. Everyone knows science is anti-God, anti-Bible. But that isn't true, either. Science has proven the Bible to be true many times.

We serve a mighty God. He may have done much in the universe that we are not privy to. I do agree that humanity is God's crowning achievement, but, because I can't find the word America in the Bible, I'm not going to deny its existence.

Parts of this discussion remind me of one time a friend & I were sitting at the church discussing lots of different things. We somehow got on the subject of dinosaurs.

The pastor walked by and, hearing our conversation, chimed in asking "You don't believe in dinosaurs do you?"

LOL

I said "well... they kinda... found the bones"

We let it drop as did he. That was probably for the better.
