When you believe in God, do you have to ,by the same token, believe in aliens?

fiction movies  have greatly changed people's believes.....thats a bad aspect of  such movies, now they are taken as a reality though its not......Aliens don't exists and it has nothing to do with God and His power, even if they exist they are controlled by God,but they are not there. but if u take them in reality so beleive me they would be like us, a God creations, and wont be able to compete Him in His power.

Not really. God will always exist to those who believe in him. Personally, I don't believe in God (Believing in God to me is sort of animal-like; we control our own destinies and fates and there is nothing beyond death) but those who do...well, they aren't going to stop for Hawking, are they? And Hawking isn't neccessarily going to discover the beginning. There are many other brilliant scientists out there working or working with Hawking to discover the origins of the universe.

No I don't. I believe in God, but I also think you can't force people to conform to what you as a person want them to believe. It's not fair. At the same time, people should noot look down on people who believe in God thinking they are stupid for believing in a higher power. I personally can embrace anyone no matter what they believe. You just have to be open minded about everything, even if you don't want to.

UFO's as in object from somewhere other than earth are not such a crazy concept. We, us humans, would be vain in the extreme to believe that we are the only intelligent beings in this vast universe. Some undoubtedly have been around longer than us (more intelligent) as some haven't been around as long as us (less intelligent). Us humans in actuality haven't been around all that long. Now whether they can travel between solar systems is dependent on how advanced they are. If (in theory) I was one of them and I arrived here and looked around I would see a world where the inhabitants couldn't even get along with each other once since like, ever, but were always trying to take that which someone else has for themselves (wars), then I too would not want to land and make my presence known for fear of being killed or maimed for whatever I had just because someone else wanted it.\nSome people believe the bible is the whole and complete truth, that GOD made man about 6,000 years ago,regardless of the fossil evidence that mankind has been around for over 15,000 years. If that were true, then why would GOD waste all the space that the universe takes up?\nThis is considered as normal because of widespread dogma (various religions) and blind faith (close-mindedness) since the beginnings of human conscienceness.\nAt least that is what I believe.

I do believe in God. I have the proof that I believe it in my heart. Sometimes you don't have to see to believe.

Well, as often, maybe more often, as a group pops up claiming there are intelligent aliens from outer space - someone points out they are wrong.\n\nScientologists, either some or all, believe in aliens from outer space.  At least it is one of the tenets of their organization.\n\nThere was a rumor of an alien space craft that crashed in Roswell, New Mexico in the 1950s.  However, it turned out to be a hoax perpetrated by someone who was out there back then.\n\nI think he turned out to be someone who was an Air Force clerk that was stationed in the area at the time, and who was claiming at UFO events to have been a former AF intelligence officer.\n\nThe ruse was only conclusively refuted once he died.\n\nWho you believe depends on your own brain.\n\nPersonally, my belief is that there are none in close enough proximity to the Earth to be visiting us while we still exist as species homo sapien (i.e. "human") unless they left before our species evolved. That makes the odds of us and any encounters with an alien species pretty much non-existant.\n\nSo, you are left with a choice: either they don't exist, or they are completely irrelevant to us.  Either way, the answer is:  who cares?\n\nAgain, use your brain and decide for yourself.\n\nIf you believe anything that anyone tells you, then everything exists.\n\nI think what is far more interesting than the whole "alien race from outer space" question is the fact that many people are so quick to believe it. The so-called evidence is either flimsy, non-existant, based on wild conjecture, or yet another example of well-known fallacies often used in politics and silly day to day arguments.\n\nIf the facts are wrong or the logic is wrong, then it is wrong to accept the conclusion.

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.

It depends on your point of view.\nSometimes, some people feel that "God" is merely a device to keep us humanity in check, something that we have concocted to explain all the mysteries and unexplainable (in our current era. There might be an explanation much later.) stuff which happens in our lifetime.\nIt is plausible. People used to think flying was impossible, forget the flying machines. Air conditioning? How about all the laws of Physics that led to so many wonderful creations? They used to think that such things were unthinkable, magic, strange, impossible.\nBut never say IMPOSSIBLE, because we don't know what is and what isn't possible. \nJust a few centuries ago we all thought the Earth was flat.\n\nSome people, think and feel God is the God in our Scriptures. After all, they feel, the people of the past were much purer than the people today.\n\nSome people think that God is merely a presence in the world, an omni-present entity with powers of the unknown, and no apparent good or evil intentions, just there.\n\nIt's all up to what your heart tells you, and what you feel you can believe truthfully without deceiving yourself. Just be honest to yourself, that's all - you don't need people to justify, give a reason or judge you for what you believe in.\n\nJenova\n(d.yuffie@gmail.com)

considering all the illegal immigration talk lately of course i believe in aliens...ok, crappy joke aside...\n\nits rather conceited for humans to think that in the huge vastness of time and space that there is us and only us...i'm rather on the fence as to whether there are or aren't aliens in the universe, its a question that will only be explained when technology can accurately answer it and not a moment sooner...unless of course little green men suddenly start landing here asking to speak to our leaders...

An alien, literally, is someone who travels (and possibly lives) in a region or country he/she/it does not really belong in (due to polits, culture, etc).  So, I believe in aliens from other countries ... there are enough of them all over North America :P\n\nBut then aliens from other planets is a little too much to digest. \n\nWell, then again ... it's hard to believe that with the size of the universe, we're the only form of life in the ENTIRE place.  So, there is other life, or at least I'd like to think so.  \n\nBut it's scary to think that this other life has actually travelled God knows how many light years to get to our planet.  The only form of life that there is in our galaxy that we know of is the bacteria that is found on Mars.  So whoever these beings are, they'd have to travel from some other galaxy out there somewhere ... And if they actually did, it shows that they have way more technology than we do.  \n\nSo I'm better off believing that there are no aliens ... in the sense that we have yet to receive visitors from outer space.

Hehhe.  If you really knew what they believed, you'd never look at Tom Cruise the same way!\n\nYou really should just go read the Wikipedia page on it, as its simply too much lunacy for me to post without busting my gut laughing.\n\nEssentially, they believe in aliens.  But they believe some things about these aliens that make the simple belief in aliens seem rational.  :)

Yes.But I ALSO believe in science.Otherwise we wouldn't be on computers right now since science developed them and we wouldn't be flying since science showed us how to fly and we wouldn't be able to study fossils since science tells us a lot about them.But I do believe God created the whole thing.\n\nI think of God as the engineer and scientists as the under-standers of how the engine works.

holy.........haha. well, at least you believe greatly in your disbelief.......you a lawyer? or should be one anyways. so if you were, would you put someone on the stand and ask them to swear on the bible? hmmmm.....i believe in god. cept i call him creator. i believe there is a spirit world.......were we all evolved from. but, i ain't going on and on about  that. i'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. but.....i just thought there was so much effort put into your question.........a great belief in presenting your disblief

No, I don't automatically assume a person who asks about God believes in God. I assume this is a person who wants to know about God. The fact you ask at all, tells me you doubt there is no God, and are willing to explore there really is a God.\n\nI do believe in God, I always have and I always will. I look at life with all of its intricacies, diversity and complexity, and i just can not accept we came to be on Earth any other way than by the Hand of God. There are just to many "just happens to be" to say evolution, and not God's creativity put life on Earth.

Personally i belive in angels, but i do not believe in god, Your beliefs are just that, yours. It is up to you what you believe in and those beliefs make up a part of you. there are people who would disagree because they believe angels are god's messengers. There are many people who believe in angels but not in god as well as the other way around, whatever you believe you are not alone.

I believe in the possibility of aliens. My theory is, why not? why would we be the only living beings in the entire universe?
