Aliens: Where Does God Fit In?

139 thoughts on “Aliens: Where Does God Fit In?”

1. Man… lots to unpack here! My own (Quaker) opinion is that if salvation really works the way(s) tradition has preserved, it’s gonna just have to be left up to God to untangle that mess 🤣 but we aren’t as… salvation focused in terms of hell/heaven, etc.

   I don’t want this to be taken as argumentative so much as being curious: where is the line for playing God? Particularly with medicine. If we follow the IVF, abortion, euthanasea issues and the idea underlying Catholic principles, couldn’t that lead to a refusal to seek any kind of medical care because whatever happens falls under God’s will? So why take meds or get treated for anything if we are interfering with how we were made or what was made to happen?

   I realize this is a loaded question, and as a seminarian, I know there are no clean answers. I’m just curious as to your take.

3. Nice article and well arranged thoughts on the matter. personally, I believe extraterrestrials could exist in the trillions of worlds out their in the galaxies, or could have been products of this created world; after all, I’ve been reading the there is a world literally inside the center of this world; I don’t know how true this is, but speculations abound …on the other hand, I believe that no matter what will be discovered, the greatest and almighty GOD created everything and stands above and over all creation (angels, gods, spiritual beings, and all unseen and seen creations, etc. )… no matter what is said about the declassification, I won’t be surprised if GOD won’t be talked about in the same vein that science, most governments, and scientists don’t usually discuss GOD or acknowledge him in their ideas or inventions, because maybe He is mostly unseen and not detected or capable of being touched, felt, or analyzed …I believe Jesus just came for a specific task applicable to only this world, and his task might hsgr8be only confined to the earth and might not have anything to do with many or all other parts or worlds of the boundless and ever-expanding universe

8. Aliens are non existent in Gods realm, and is a tactic satan uses to have people take their eyes off of God. No where in scripture does it say there is life on or from any other planet, but earth which God created from the very beginning is the only place He has made man to dwell and not out somewhere in outer space. You ask the question “What about God and Jesus?” yes! Wouldn’t scripture and Jesus of taught about this if it existed? There is an enemy of our soul and the greater deception to gather as many from the truth of God he will use and the aliens are a real good ploy to have thousands hop on board to take a closer look at the non existent. This reminds me of the story of the wise and foolish virgins who had to leave and go buy more oil while the Lord returned and they missed Him. The job satan has is to kill, steal and destroy and every avenue be it aliens and the like he will use to take misguided people to focus on what is not of God. (John 10:10). Don’t get caught up in this lie BBB. God Bless and keep you safe til His return.

If the devil wants Christians to doubt their faith, what better way than to create illusions that make them think they originated from another world or dimension. Plus, perhaps the reason they’ve never made “contact” is because Satan doesn’t want folks to know he and his legions of demons exist. Call me crazy but, like the Don Henley song title says about aliens, “They ain’t here and they ain’t coming.”

11. It’s illogical to assume given the great expanse of space that we are/were alone in the universe. So I it shouldnt be alarming for people to get affirmation or at least a tacit affirmation that the government has evidence of UFO’s. The question of god is a curious one, it assume a universal application of an all powerful being. Assuming aliens are advanced I wonder if they have actually spoken to or found a way to commune with god (or gods)?

    As a pagan and a heathen I want all available information to be made available and let all of us draw our own conclusions. I dont trust the government regardless of what party is in power. I will be skeptical of whatever info they do provide as I doubt highly it will be thorough and complete.

13. I could go on for pages on this. I’ll try not to.

    Odds are there is going to intelligent life in a universe so huge? Why did God create this huge universe? He created stars for telling times and seasons. It’s in Genesis. He did not create it for other life. They are reference points for us.

    Aliens are demonic. Investigators have noted that people who have been visited by “aliens” exhibit symptoms much like people who have been possessed. There is also an historical argument that points toward this.

    There were other gods in the Bible. One verse speaks of those other gods “behaving badly.” Wood and stone do not “behave” so those other Gods were – and are – real. Who then are they? The are the Fallen Watchers mentioned ever so briefly in Genesis 6 who came and took women by force, creating the Nephilim, the “men of renown” for which God sent the Flood.

    There is great detail in the Book of Enoch about those Fallen Watchers. Yes, I know it is not official canon, but it is part of the Dead Sea Scrolls, so I think that helps Enoch’s credibility. One interesting section deals with the different Watchers and how each one taught mankind through the women different arts and science; metal working, art, music, death blows, and more. They read like a list of the Greek/Nordic Gods. The theory is that they were indeed impersonating Gods to the Greeks and Norse just as they impersonated “gods” in the Bible, Ba’al and the like.

    Those gods trailed off and became myth. But the theory continues that they are returning as aliens, hopefully to lead us astray. Indeed, official Vatican policy is to prepare to minster to aliens when they arrive. They are so intent on this that they made the L.U.C.I.F.E.R. device, and infrared telescope. Infrared because UFO pictures show up better in infrared.

    Also, Vatican official were quoted at their observatory in Arizona that aliens might know more about God than we do and may enlighten. They even hold out the idea that they may force their members to change their beliefs. Again, Vatican officials have been quoted on this.

    None of that sounds like aliens coming as friends of God. More like beings intending to lead us astray. I know this probably sounds weird, presented in such a bare bones manner, but I have written several blog articles about these subjects with good documentation. I could point you to them, if you wish.

    I believe that function has been taken over by the saints (those who believe in Jesus).

19. Don’t see any biblical logic for aliens. Certainly not the odd looking creatures of science fiction (Star Wars, etc.). Angels have shown themselves in various forms in scripture, so have demons (a sort of alien, I suppose), but everything I know points to humans being unique creatures in God’s vast universe. I’m not sure how you’d duplicate that story in another world. Regardless, Jesus is the answer to the dilemma of sin. Whatever your home address, trust & follow him for salvation!

Lol Before I try to answer your question, I just want to throw something out there… What if these things aren’t alien at all? What if it’s us from the future? Just a thought… Anyway, back to your question. I think this may be one of those questions that we won’t know the answer to until we get to heaven. Certainly, it’s possible. But, given the fact that we know demons can appear as angels of light, it’s at least equally possible (and in my view, highly more probable) that these are demonic manifestations for the purpose of deceiving everyone including the elect. The fact that most of the stories surrounding these supposed creatures never include the exchange of information says a lot. Instead, they seem to always involve creatures traveling many light years just to have us “assume the position” while they probe our posteriors. I mean seriously, who does that sound like? So yeah, you can totally put me down for demonic manifestation. 🙂

22. Hi Caralyn! Let me start by answering your last questions. 1) No, I don’t believe in life on other planets, yet. More on that in a sec. 2) I wonder if there’s intelligent life down here sometimes.😉 Only God and the spiritual creatures He created which are mentioned in the scriptures. 3) There have been pictures and videos for years. Some are debunked, some leave questions. But whatever they are of, man-made objects or hoaxes, I’m sure it is not green or grey people from other planets. 4) I’m betting it will be built up as a grand revelation and come off as a short fizzle. Like Y2K.

    Here’s the deal. We have to stick with what we know as followers of Christ. The problems we get into are the result of taking man’s ideas for things instead of God’s honest revelations. The catch phrase of the day is “Believe the Science” as though science were some great know-it-all entity that has total and complete proof of everything. Not so. Science is simply what man has observed. Nothing else. The biggest problem with man’s theories is that many times we can’t see them. It’s all speculation. Yes, I know folks will disagree, but they never produce any evidence. God has shown us the things we need to know, in scripture and His creation, and will even answer our questions if we’ll ask Him and work with Him as He reveals them to us. As Proverbs says, In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.

    As to all of this stuff that folks see, from what I’ve observed, it appears to be spiritual in nature. The bad kind. I and others have made the observation that everyone who ever claims to have had contact with the greys or greens report that the aliens don’t believe in God and downplay anyone who brings Him up. Some even say Christians must be removed from the earth in order for man to “evolve” properly. Bottom line, they always act like you would expect a demon to behave in thought and deed. Even those people who deal with New Age mysticism come up with the same stories. That tells me they are all getting their info from the same anti-Christ source.

    I’ll finish with this. I believe the world was created by God in six earthly days. The text uses the words to mean six earthly days. The only reason to believe otherwise is to accommodate man’s ideas of evolution. I believe God placed the earth specifically in the universe where we could have the greatest view of His celestial creation. And I believe He created all of it for us. If Adam and Eve had not sinned and brought death into the world, man would be far more advanced than we are. We would probably already be exploring those thousands of other galaxies and planets. And who knows, God may have provided a way for us to do it without machines, had we not messed up His creation. But we’ll get there someday after He returns, so I fully expect us to be on those other planets in the future.

    The scripture says mankind is the crown of God’s creation, and He sent Jesus to die for us. He didn’t do that for any of the other beings He created, not even the angels. I know many will not agree with me, but the only standard we have are the scriptures, the word of God, and that’s what He says. I would also mention, look around at what’s going on today. I don’t think we’re long for this world. Jesus could return any moment and then we’ll know everything.

    Enjoy your long weekend! And remember those who have sacrificed all for our freedoms. 🤗 💛 🇺🇸

       1. I’m not familiar with that book, although I’m sure he probably did a good job with it. The thing to remember about what the Bible tells us of Heaven is that it focuses on our relationship with God the Father and God the Son, Jesus. If you read the book of Revelation, you see the descriptions of all the different creatures, including man, exalting and praising God and the Lamb. I’m sure we will do more than have a continuous praise session for all of eternity, but the point of the Heavenly information is focused on God. We can see little details, but for now we just need to know that God is God and He has been and always will be in control of everything. We’ll have time to explore and discover other stuff when we get there. I’m sure what is shared is primarily literal, but sometimes we forget our interpretation must also consider the reason the information was shared. Just remember what we’re told: eye has not seen nor ear heard nor has it entered into the mind of man the things God has in store for those who love Him. What a day that will be! 🙂

24. Why doesn’t the Bible talk about aliens?
    Or does it?
    I think like this…
    God, the creator of all, who spoke the world and all within it, into existence….the Alpha & Omega, wrote the “natural” laws that govern us here in the biosphere so to speak yet he is not governed by them. While we are created to survive in this world and the world created to sustain us, He has no such need. He is not. He is not born, does not age, does not die. He in fact, not from here, not governed by the natural laws of this planet, is in fact….an alien being is He not?
    If we examine the heavenly hosts and their contact with us, as messengers appearing in many forms.
    Most notably…the sons of God saw we women as beautiful and left their first estate, came down unto the daughters of men and took wives of them all they wanted. They reproduced and these halfling were referred to as ancient one, “and in those days there were giants in the land and also after. These beings threatened to not only dominate but destroy all true mankind. (See the book of Enoch. Enoch which also states that the fallen angel taught mankind the ways of sin..vanity, weaponry, war etc)
    I believe this may have led to the flood.
    You may note how when sent to war against other groups of people, how God told told them at times, conquer them them take all they had as spoil and to recieve them people and assimilate them BUT other groups He told them to conquer but take nothing and not only that but to kill them all including women, children, the animals?
    In Jewish teachings, these tribes that were to be completely irradiated, where those that were genetically tainted with the nephilim.
    You may recall Ezekiels description of the wheel within a wheel, the description given of angelic beings with 4 faces?
    Enoch walked with God and was no more seen upon the earth.
    Elijah, taken up in a chariot of fire?
    So I think that God and the heavenly hosts perfectly define what we describe as Alien beings and maybe, just maybe, the Bible does talk about it?

I would not be surprised at aliens of many different types but there is also the possibility of demonic activity that mimics these phenomena. We need to be careful to make sure we are on God’s side in any potential situation. Prayer combined with the teachings of the Bible is the only way to be sure of anything. I am a former engineer and I understand the scientific method but it has limitations. I enjoy speculating about aliens but it can be a type of temptation if taken to extremes.

27. Caroline,

    SInce you asked…

    The idea of extraterrestrials is so attractive to our scientific community because it would confirm their philosophy of scientific materialism, which was developed to explain our existence without needing God. Darwinism is the best-known contributor to this philosophy, but far from the only one.

    Scientific materialists are clinging to the hope of extraterrestrials because so much of what Darwinism hangs on has been shown to be mathematically impossible. You are more likely to win the lottery every day for the rest of your life than any chance of even simple life evolving through natural means.
    The likelihood of us having evolved is so low that even a billion parallel universes still could not account for human life. The idea that two independent, intelligent life forms evolved is fantasy. Talk about a leap of faith!

    Christians and scientists who are now beginning to talk about Intelligent Design are making great strides in showing that the theory of Intelligent Design fits the scientific evidence much better than any Evolutionary THEORIES that have been proposed.

    As a Christian philosopher/theologian, I believe that angels are the highest order of created being. And humans have been made “a little lower than the angels.” That does not leave any room for aliens in my mind. Also, all creation groans because of the weight of sin introduced initially by Adam and Eve. Jesus died to begin the process of setting everything right, not just on earth but also through the entire universe. The idea that there would be alien beings that are so much more advanced than humans so that they could have already mastered interstellar travel is at odds with everything that the Bible teaches us about our significance in the created order.

    Could there be events that could be interpreted as alien life? Certainly, but would that be the only explanation? You mentioned that you believe in angels and demons. There is no reason I can see why demons would not imitate alien life if it had the potential to lead millions of people indoctrinated with scientific materialism even further away from God.

    My position is that men and women are made in God’s image and are the creatures that bring Him the most delight. The entire universe was created to give people a place to live, love, and explore. Yes, there could there be alien life forms, but they would be inferior to humans, therefore unable to have traveled to Earth from anywhere else in the universe. All the scientific evidence best supports the idea that this world was created by an intelligent Being to support human life. You and I believe this intelligent Being is the personal Trinity, whom we know best through the Incarnation of Jesus Christ, who walked among us as God in a body.

    Two books that are not simple reads but do an excellent job explaining these ideas in much greater depth are Total Truth by Jane Pearcey, and Darwin’s Doubt by Stephen C. Meyer.

29. The Bible is clear that God is the originator of life. We know from the Bible there are angels and we have a clear explanation for the origin of evil which is defined as the mystery of iniquity because God is incapable of creating evil. It originated with Lucifer who took a third of the angels with him when he was banished from heaven and he convinced Adam to join him. The Bible also makes reference to signs in the heavens in the last days and I’m not surprised that satan is using methods to cause us to be diverted and speculate about aliens to take people’s mind off what is actually happening behind the scenes on earth leading up to the finalization of satan’s permission to demonstrate his so called better way before God says that’s enough and ends he and his angels in a final destruction of the wicked. Jesus told the Jewish leaders when they tried to trick him with the question about the wife of seven brothers who all died leaving her a widow that there will be no husbands and wives in heaven because those who choose to be there will be like angels. We were created a little lower than the angels originally. We choose to refer to non human life as aliens and we think of little green men. What we refer to as aliens are angels good and bad and there are instances in the Bible record of humans having their vision temporarily enhanced to see them. Case in point is Gideon, Abraham, Samson’s mother and the disciples on the Mount of Transfiguration. In reality from heaven’s point of view we are the aliens in that we are alienated from God. But some day we will be able to see our heavenly family if we are among those who are rescued at Christ’s Second Coming and satan and his angels will not be around to trouble us any more. No more mystery or speculation in heaven.

31. These UFO sightings are either some sort of Hollywood propaganda or, as many have previously stated here, they are evil forces seeking to led people away from God. Great deception is coming for those who are not rooted and grounded in the truth of the Gospel of Christ.

    Now more than ever before our heart, mind, and strength must be focused towards The Lord Jesus Christ.

32. Some people believe that the “aliens” are the return of the Genesis 6 giants. Read Genesis 6. Pay close attention to Genesis 6:4. Cross reference that with Matthew 24:37-39. The “aliens” are real but they aren’t aliens. They are fallen angels coming to deceive in the last days before Jesus returns.

33. A couple of thoughts (my opinion):
    1. Don’t over think this.
    2. Don’t believe (or at least question) everything the government says about this
    3. (okay, more than a couple) Isaiah 55:8 – ‘My thoughts are not your thoughts, and My ways are not your ways.’
    4. As said in earlier comments, it won’t make one bit of difference in our relationship with Jesus or the Father.
    5. We need to be more concerned if such things CONTRADICT the Word of God, rather than trying to prove it with the Word of God. As already stated, we need to focus on our relationship to Christ first, then share that relationship with others.

35. More than twenty years ago my best friend and I were outside hanging out at a picnic table on her front lawn. As we talked we both noticed a pinpoint of light slowly moving across the night sky. At first I think we tossed the idea around that it could be a satellite; that’s how small and far away it appeared. We were quite fixated on it as we watched it slowly pass by. I’d almost dare to say we were hypnotized by it, as it seemed as though we couldn’t look away. But alarm began to grow within us once we soon realized that it was moving toward us! It became bigger and bigger and bigger as it got closer and closer. We both became frozen as we watched this thing grow before our very eyes. By then we were definitely thinking UFO. Suddenly I remembered what I was supposed to do. I almost couldn’t open my mouth to speak but I managed to say softly and quickly, “I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.” IMMEDIATELY, and I mean INSTANTANEOUSLY, this ball of light became a tiny dot in the sky once again. My opinion? It’s demonic. Satan is all about deception and confusion; anything to lead us away from Truth. And do not forget that he is the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4), the father of lies (John 8:44), and the prince of the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2). Every once in a while I check with my friend to make sure that really did happen and she always assures me it did indeed.

36. Timely post BBB!

    We are been prepped and condition for what is coming. What has always bewildered me is the amount of focus placed on UFO’S…..

    For me personally, (and this is not directed at you BBB) who gives a dam about flying objects, why aren’t we talking about – WHERE THE DRIVERS ARE AT? Hello! Forget about the UFO’S…we are so captivated and mesmorized by looking up …we are missing the FACT they are already here right under our noses.

    They love to congregate in wooded forest areas. And not sure what the tie is but I have had encounters in two national parks.

    (administered by the United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service local headquarters)

    The primary objective is the revealing that is coming is:

    To raise doubt, and it is going to be easy to do. Raise doubt by questions like “well the bible doesn’t talk about aliens, what else does it not talk about or cover.”

    And once revealed the aliens will fill our heads with their hocus pocus bullshit stories of coming from blah blah blah planet…and yada yada yada..they they themselves are responsible for the formation of religion and religious systems on Earth…and so many other bullshit stories

    I shall leave you with a point of consideration that surpasses -all my years of research, including my personal experiences with and encounters with.

    I wish I could give credit to the person..but I don’t recall who made the point.

    Here it is:

    Whether there are aliens or not, is not longer up for debate. The questions that provide us crystal clear clarity are the following:

    Which side are they on? Good or evil?
    Have you ever heard of a single testimony arising from any believer in God through the course of history, that has made a claim that they met an alien, reptilian, grey, or green, that has helped them serve Christ?

    Absolutely not. Because they do not serve Christ. I have never had an encounter in which they helped me or I came out better…it always ended in a bad way. Really bad.

    Forget me, out of all the people who have say they have had an encounter, has any of them ever said or testified ‘oh yeah we met, and it was amazing…they helped me tremendously…they got me right on track!”

    Nope. And that’s all we need to know to understand, they are not here to help us serve Christ. I apologize about length. God bless BBB.

37. I don’t believe aliens exist, but I do believe demons exist, and they’re out there to deceive and distract. I don’t know what you believe about the Tribulation in Revelation, but those who believe in a pre-trib rapture suggest that one way to explain away millions of people who suddenly go missing is through alien abduction. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we see a rise in talk of aliens even as we see a rise in talk about a global reset, rise in talk about digital money, rise in talk about “peace and safety,” pre-conditioning to take a mark, a steady march toward a one-world government, rampant deception among the Church (Catholic and Protestant), and other signs that indicate we’re approaching the doorway to Revelation.

    Also, though there are millions of other galaxies, there have been none found that reflect the requirements for life. Earth is rare–a delicate balance that only an intelligent Designer could create and sustain. It’s the only one of its kind, and that is purposeful. Like you, I, too, have considered that if life exists on other planets, Jesus would have to travel to those places and die on their behalf, yet the Bible says He died ONCE for all. I do not believe the Creator God repeated that process numerous times. We are unique in a vast universe, which is both humbling and amazing.

    Lastly, regarding your Day One comment: People have tried to insist that evolution can fit into Genesis because we don’t know how long the days lasted–even though they not only have numbers assigned to the six days, but also “morning” and “evening,” which is a staunch indication in Hebrew that we’re talking about 24-hour days. That aside, on Day Six, God said that it was very good, and the Bible is very clear that death, disease, weeds, etc., came into the world because of Adam and Eve’s sin. Evolution claims there are supposed millions of years of death, disease, and decay before the supposed first man and woman walked the earth. That’s in complete opposition to what the Bible teaches; even Jesus said that in the BEGINNING man and woman were created. Either man is right, or God is right, but they’re not both right. If this topic interests you, I encourage you to visit Answers in Genesis online; they have a wealth of information on Creation. There is so much evidence for a young earth that soooo many people have never learned, because our public schools and too many private schools, unfortunately, ONLY teach evolution. But if one is going to question God’s Word to us in Genesis when it comes to creation (no where else in the Bible do we quibble about the word “day”), then one should question God’s Word to us in the Gospels when it comes to Jesus’s death and resurrection. Frankly, that’s exactly what we see happening in churches today. “Did God really say…?” The Church is anemic in the 21st century, and its failure to adhere to the Bible as the authoritative Word of God, and our failure to make disciples (85% of our youth turn from Christianity by the START of high school!) plays a huge part in what ails America today.

    I appreciate your posts and your willingness to touch upon hard subjects. May God continue to strengthen you in your faith, and may you continue to hold fast to Him despite the buffeting winds of society.

Further on your thinking, it is possible that the “catching away” of a couple billion people will throw the world into such a panic that anyone who seems to know something about what is going on could be allowed to arise to great power.

39. This is interesting, and a bit unexpected from you…in a good way! 😊 I literally asked ALL these questions as a teen. And to go through every rumination stands for its own post…but here is what I understand in scripture: 1. We are made in God’s image. Nothing else, not even angels are given that distinction. 2. Our purpose on earth is to praise God. 3. It seems entirely likely that there are multiple spiritual beings, not just angels and fallen angels. (Got into the greek for that thought….might be another post later. Need to write more, lol.) Other than that…I believe that the only non-spiritual beings with souls would have to be other humans. As far as other dominion creatures, it is entirely possible.

41. Caralyn, this is definitely a complicated question. But long story short, the UFO’s are piloted by pure evil. At the time of Noah, they corrupted the human DNA and only Noah and his family had the pure human line. They had messed with the DNA and were evil constantly. The Messiah Jesus was to come from humans, created in the image of God. The aliens had offspring with humans and these were called Nephillim, the giants that occupied Israel when the 12 spies went looking. Many giant skeletons have been found across the world. Jesus said that it would be like the days of Noah before he returned. The DNA was mixed up with animals, heavenly creatures and humans. Its quite the subject and much has been written about it.

42. Apparently the prophet Ezekial had a chat about strange flying things when God came to him. And I can imagine that we have gradually gone from believing the world is flat on to many amazing things. I think believing their are ‘others’ may be a part of our journey. Like finding an amazing new animal or flower for the first time, it amazes then gradually allows us to understand it. Like a platypus, they couldn’t at first figure out how it could be possible for a mammal to lay eggs, suckle milk (it actually sweats it out of its skin), has an almost radar in its mouth to guide it to its prey and sense the contours around it and has venomous spurs on its back legs. In the beginning they thought it was a hoax…like the ufo’s 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋 😂 🤣

43. Hi I’m not perturbed in the least by the idea of IAO’s UFO’s because there is no evidence any of these things come from distant planets or galaxies. Even though the data I have researched is out of date there is still a one in two hundred and forty five billion to the power of ten that life exists out there somehwere.

    If the bible is true, which I beleive it is, then the life death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is a one time unique event in time and history that Christ died once for all 1Pete 3:18, Heb 7:24-27, 9:28, 10:10, 10:12, and 10:14.

    If Christ did not die once for His children then the above is a false statement and the idea of a god of any kind is frauduelent; it is a lie and we are adrift in a purposeless uncaring universe.

    Even if the bible is true according to the above assumption, would Christ have to repeat His holy sacrifice in many different guises to atone for the sins of the Universe? No!

    Based on even the most poitive proposition regarding life on other planets (for which there is no evidence thus far) the only other conclusion is that we as humans are uniquely alone and it is is not false humility to say so.

    Atheism, scientism (not science) and all other alternatives to the God hypothesis necessarily have to replace God with something for God not to be true… That doesn’t make God not true. Scientifically speaking if Ockam’s razor is correct then the simplest explanation for life is that an intelligent creator did it and it has meaning and purpose.

44. Really interesting post. Thank you for this.

    I’m not sure about aliens, but I am sure about Christ. He said in Mark 16:15 to “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”
    All the WORLD. If our Lord had said, “All the universe,” there would be no bigger advocates of space travel than us Christians.

    With this in mind, I agree with the comment said in an earlier reply to this post, specifically the one about us “taking our eyes off of God.” No matter how advanced they are, aliens are indeed not children or even messengers of God and shouldn’t be revered as such, if and when our time of meeting arises.

    Great job on your blog. Well done!

46. One of the things I love about humanity is how we’re created in God’s image and likeness, our imagination and creativity, and our desire to explore and know. This goes further to our use of hyperbole and how we use words in extremely clever ways to engage people. Whether or not there are living beings, living on other planets or not is not as relevant as the fun we have speculating about whether or not they know God, are in relationship with Him, what they look like, why they might be visiting our earthly home.
    I would further encourage you to give all your fears from this to God. Pray for those whom you believe would have their faith shaken to the core. Seek Wisdom from the Holy Spirit.

48. ALIENS: WHERE DOES GOD FIT IN?

    There are angels in the Old testament that had flesh. They had the ability to go between Heaven and earth.

    They still exist. That class of angels or heavenly beings are still around.

    In the days before the flood, some of them became corrupted.

    They were sent to Earth to look over man.

    But because some of them became corrupted, they slept with women and they bound themselves to the earth.

    Melchizedek was one such creature. He still exist. He is a priest.

50. An interesting glimpse into the alien thought exercise through a religious lens. Having been raised and educated in a Catholic setting sometime around the last quarter of the past century, I can say that the question of god vs aliens was not given a serious consideration. I mean, the X-Files hadn’t even premiered when I was finishing up my educational career, so the question was strictly an illegitimate crackpot undertaking. Given the new evidence, I can only guess the topic has moved up the conversation ranks.
    As a believer in the science of evolution, I’ve never questioned the question of extraterrestrial life versus the absurdity that somehow earth was the only planet in the universe capable of supporting life – albeit of questionable intelligence these days.
    Watching people of faith bend over backward to work life on other planets into their respective belief systems oughta be worth a little popcorn consumption, though.
    Meanwhile, I’m more of the mind to continue to juxtapose Jesus et al as historical figures working for social justice within their 2000 year old means against present day cries for those same persistent evils. Who knows, will someone from today’s AntiFa and available social media tools be the Jesus and Gutenberg Bible of the 45th century?
    Regardless of who is right or wrong about life after death – religions with heaven and hell or science with matter can neither be created nor destroyed – maybe I’ll bear witness to the 45th century incarnation of a “past savior” from today.
    Thanks for sharing your take on such a mind blowing topic, it got my mind energized!
