It is for the reasons mentioned by Mr. Houdmann that I do not believe life exists on other planet---in any form whatsoever.
It is hard for me to believe that the universe as unfathomable as it is, that there would be no other life. That being said, doesn't make it so. Heaven is another planet yes? I am looking forword to seeing our heavenly community. Some of the Angels sound pretty wild in their discription.
I don't think it would impact the Christian faith. ..but may impact your faith.
These are only my thoughts from a question that has been asked of me more than once,, If there was conclusive evidence of alieans or beings from another planet or galaxie,, all I would think and say is,,, Huh,, God made them too.
There are approximately 120 times that the word alien is in the Bible.
The meaning of the word is of another country, race or religion.
Another meaning is something contrary or opposed, unlike, your conception.
God, being God can do whatever He wants, whenever He wants.
Thanks Tim, very thought-provoking. True! It is a wonder what a person in power in any country would or might do to an 'alien' life.
We cannot comprehend the vast mind of God. Look at the world we live in, and what man in his 'intelligence' has done.
One thing is absolutely positive, God knows best, and we are to cling to Him.
