So if God could be an alien from another planet, chances might be we are created thru technlgy and no miracles

It is unlikely that a "creator" would be from another planet since the observable universe begin to expand at the same time and planets did not exist until long after the "big bang."\n\nBut, if we go down that road, it is possible that life from another universe got sucked into a black hole (or something similar) in their universe which led into this universe.\n\nAnd that began the process of evolution in this universe. Earth was just a place where conditions were favorable for development when their microbes landed here.\n\nThe possibilities are unlimited and will drive you insane if you attempt to consider all of them.

Here's my take.. and yes I am a Christian.\n\nThis universe we live in a massive place and it has been around for billions of years.  I think it would be pretty egotistical and extremely closed minded of us to think that we are the only beings in this whole universe.  When we look at it from this context, there is a very high probility that there other inteligent life forms out there.  Why we haven't met them yet is a matter of debate.  If we are to assume that there are such things as UFO, then we must ask the question, why would they 'discover us' and never attempt contact?  It really don't make any since for them to 'buzz' our planet and never say 'Hi'.\n\nIf one believes that a supreme being (God) created this universe then one has to believe he know's about all the life that is out there.  Therefore, if one believes that God created all life (since he created the universe) then it would fall to reason that he would make his presence known to all inteligent life.  Why would he just tell us?\n\nSo, here's where it get's tricky.  In order for any being to visit our planet they would have figure out how to defeat the laws of physics as it relates to speed and time because there are no life sustainable planets with in 100 light years from here!  Now.. it could be.. that we were visited thousands of years ago from aliens that spent 1,000 years getting here and they are just now getting back home.  I think that's highly unlikely.\n\nSo.. if we consolidate all of these thoughts, we can come to a single, simple conclusion.  IF we get a visit by aliens from another planet, should we be surprised when they tell us stories of their religious diety that exactly mirrors ours?\n\nJust some thoughts to get your creative juices flowing!\n\nGood luck!

Hi Muslimah, I think that if aliens did exist they might have either little knowledge of God in which case they would be in no position to make such a judgment.\non the other hand they may have a greater understanding of God and in this case, would be amazed at human beings constantly at each others throats, about the God of love and compassion that they say they know and believe in ,and would find this quite puzzling.

They certainly can co-exist\n\nI find it amazing that people who worship a "perfect" god do not believe that their god is capable of creating a being that adapts to it's environment, or evolves.

Pessimists. Hahaha. No one knows. If you even believe in aliens then the chance could be anywhere from 1-100%. I sure hope it happens in my lifetime.

Well i belive tat aliens do exsist but ALIENS controlling UNXPECTED POWERS is kinda weird cause as far as i no God is de greatest as He is de one who has created dis universe nhd he is 1 who has de power 2 give UNXPECTED powers 2 individuals so i don't think tat there culd b ny alien controlling de UNXPECTED powers of an individual.

Let's take the religious aspect away from this question first. Even if we assume that there is no God, then the probability of other lifeforms existing elsewhere in the universe is extremely high.\n\nEven in our "visible" universe taking the number of stars with the ratio that are expected to have planets, with the ratio of those that should have planets capable of supporting life, with the ratio of those where life has actually started, we still come out with a significant number. When we start thinking about the concept of the "multiverse" with the existence of other dimensions, then this becomes mind-boggling.\n\nComing back to religion, it is a natural aspect of the human mind that we should see ourselves as central to the importance of the universe. So it was when we thought ourselves to be the centre of the solar system and, no doubt, so it will be as and when we discover something outside the currently visible universe.\n\nI think most people (other than creationists) see the story of Genesis as an allegory. I personally see no clash at all between my scientific views and my beliefs as a Christian. If God created life, why should he have not created it elsewhere as well as on Earth.\n\nSo the answer to your question is, yes.........there has to be other planets (or indeed moons) with life on them, may be even within our own solar system !

Yeah, why not?\n\nProbabilities are agains but miracles do happen!

I don't see any reason why God couldn't have created a whole bunch of other worlds and put beings of some sort on them. Just because it isn't in the Bible doesn't mean anything. I mean, why should some other world we may never even encounter affect the way we're supposed to do things? If they exist, they've presumably got their own version of the Bible and other holy books.

u r absolutely right.  God is the reason why we are here and He is one and only one who can do anything and everything for us.  He can do miracles if only we believe in Him, no doubting Thomas here........ if only we fully and whole heartedly believe in his capacity and ability to perform miracles, then lo He does miraculous things in our life, which would not have been humanly possible.\n\nso come lets join hands together and praise the Almighty and sing songs in His name and exalt Him and testify His miracles.  come lets spread the message of love and peace, which God wants us to do in this world.  God bless...........

I believe if God made this planet in less then 1 week and we have 9 planets in the solar system, then there got to be either life on another planet or there once were life. \nI do not think God just made us. I think he made the aliens, you know, just for the hell of it.

Certainly, chances of another intelligent species out there are trmendous. Just a matter of time, before they find us, or we find them.

Fact. The real question is do you believe there is a God. If you believe there is a God then miracles are not only possible but probable.  If you look at archeology about half of the artifacts they find have to do with religion(they find burials grounds that are religious in nature, they find temple areas, all cultures and all the different empires had some kind of a religion....). Also, man cannot do away with religion. Communism tried to eliminate christianity and all religion. Lenin said that religion was the opiate of the people. He outlawed it and persecuted anyone who practiced religion. Yet Communism could not conquer religion. It eventually conquered communism. Man just seems to have an innate desire to know about God. He seems to have been created that way. Would God create us with a desire to know about Him and then never do nothing in space and time to let us know He exists. I don't think so. Therefore, as I said before, miracles are not only possible but probable.\n  The last article I read on astronomy said that there was 1 billion trillion stars out there.....not 1 trillion.....not 10 trillion....not 100 trillion....but 1BILLION TRILLION stars. That's a pretty big universe. If God created this awesome universe with all it's physical laws and life itself with it's immense complexities, He wouldn't have much of a problem with Noahs ark. If you're having a problem with the flood or with Jonah and the big fish or Moses and the Isrealites crossing the Red Sea, your problem is not with those events. Your problem is with Genesis 1:1, "in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth".

I have never seen UFOs or aliens, but I think it was a sufi man who observed the following...he said: If you build a 7-story building, it does not make sense to occupy the ground floor and leave the rest unoccupied. He was referring to all the zillions of stars and planets in space that God created...meaning it does not make sense thag God would create all that and have life on earth alone. Having said that, I can not say with certainty that there IS life on other planets, but I can not say with certainty that there is No life on other planets either...but I have to admit; that sufi man's remark makes sense...don't you think? :)

I don't doubt that it would cause changes in some religions, however, unless these aliens could explain how we got to be here, I don't think it would make a major change to creation theology. Most moderate Christians, for example, will admit the distict possibility of there being other life in the universe. I personally hope there is. Otherwise, it would seem to be a colossal waste of space!

Yes, I think it is possible.  We live in such a great universe and there is probably another life form out there.

Well ,if we assume that an alien race is technologically more advanced why can't we believe that there culture and "wisdom" is more advanced. Perhaps, the "Aliens" have evolved enough that they can actually "\nhear" the "creator's" thought's and "wants". Perhaps, the "alien's" sent Jesus via the "creator". \n\nAs you travel closer to the center of our galaxy the stars are closer together. Perhaps the "aliens" know more about the "creator" because they have had there "second coming of a Christ" already. Because we live on the "outskirts" of our galaxy we haven't had time to evolve enough to hear the truth the "creator" speaks.\n\n Sound interesting?
