Aliens

[502mania]

Does anyone believe in aliens? and what are your view on them. personally, i think the universe is much too large for us to be the only inelliget life. what a waste of space. literally. but i believe we don't have open encounters becuse they are far more advanced than us and know our nature. so they abstain from our open life.

I must be one. I have never been able to fit in anywhere. Therefore, I am in this world, but I am not of this world.

I agree completely!

If it's true that our species is alone in the universe, then I'd have to say the universe aimed rather low and settled for very little. – George Carlin RIP

I agree. The universe is way to big for it to only be us here.

Funny! Some days I can definitely identify with that feeling.
I agree there is far, far too much out there in that huge thing we call 'The Universe' that we know very little about.

There's a possibility that there maybe Aliens, but I don't think they look like the stereotypical little green men depicted in the movies. They probably look more like us.

Speaking of Aliens...this is for purely entertainment purposes, of course...

A huge portion of our galaxy is incapable of supporting life. Potential aliens in other galaxies are too far away to detect our presence (since radio signals will not reach them for millions of years). I personally don't think there are aliens in other galaxies. If we were to somehow find out there were, it would not change my beliefs where Christianity is concerned. The existence of aliens does not prove the non existence of God, and it doesn't contradict the bible since the bible doesn't say anything about aliens.

ditto.....I agree.

I believe in aliens. I don't believe, however, they are these little green men with huge heads and black eyes. If anything, I believe they would look similiar to our human race. There has been much research into what might have existed on dead planets, such as Mars. They have found signs that bacteria at one point thrived on the planet, so obviously, there was something there. Is it possible that life had been obliterated on that planet? Or.....is it possible that those microscopic organisms are the beginning of new life?? I don't think we will ever know, but I definitly believe that this universe is just way too big for there to be nothing else within it besides us.

It never says there weren't aliens in te bible. it dosen't say anyting about dinosaurs either but you probably believe in those.

[shernajwine]

I doesn't say anything about dinosaurs for the same reason it doesn't say anything about aliens. It is irrelevant to the purpose of the bible. Dinosaurs existed before man, their remaining ancestors are mentioned in some parts of the bible
Genesis 1:21 says that God created "great sea monsters" on the fifth day
 Isaiah 27:1
In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

But the creation and existence of the dinosaurs is irrelevant.

Obviously, there were a lot more creatures than just dinosaurs that were left out of the creation account. If God were to have included every creature in the creation account (well over one billion), such inclusion would have completely lost the spiritual significance of the passage (and would be much longer than the Bible itself). The purpose of the Genesis creation account is to give an account of how God created mankind and provided for him. The account, like the entire Bible, centers on God and His miraculous workings  for mankind. Therefore, in the creation account, we find the supernatural creation of the universe by God, indicating that the universe wasn't always here, but created by God  for man. Next, it talks about the creation of plants, which are important to humans, since we eat them, and also important to the animals that we rely upon, which also eat them. Then, it talks about the sea creatures and birds, which we also eat. It next talks about the beasts of the field, which we eat and use for labor. Then it talks about the creation of mankind and how he is to have dominion and manage the earth and its creatures.

i agree entirely. it is irrelevant. so people shouldn't use the bible to determine the eistence of aliens , dinosaurs, or anything else of the "unseen world"
