Loved how you put * WARNING: MATH CONTENT * ...quick, quick [scrolls down]. kidding. :)

lack of knowledge is deadly.

lack of knowledge is deadly.
So true!

What do they.... Just enough knowledge to be dangerous?? Yay, read a forum on building a tree-house. Let's start doing one!

I think there is life on other planets. Do I believe they are like aliens that we see in movies? I doubt it but since there are billions of galaxies out there. I think there has to be some sort of life out there.
If you had read Ezekiel, those ideas would expand and, to my amazement, few years back I saw two UFO while I was walking with Mónica, one starry night we were praying asking a "sign" from God...

When one of my friends visited my hometown, I refered that thing to him and he, who is a pilot, also confirmed me that he saw one UFO while he was on a flight... If the world disbellive that, I have interviewed several other ppl so, I wish my dad were alive to chat about the things I have learned this time.

What I meant to say is, there's a saying that goes like this...."Just enough knowledge to be dangerous" or something in those lines. Does anyone know how the saying goes?......Kinda, lost in translation here..

you've got it - like "i know just enough to be dangerous"

i know how to start the motor, and this button makes it go up and that one makes it go down, so sure, i can drive a bulldozer!

i wasn't trying to fuss at you, just the way the news and everything talks about the idea.

i'm a mathematician, and have always loved space science. i guess i get frustrated by popular ideas about space that are doing the math wrong
:p
or whatever gets the math wrong, haha

i think life is a very very unlikely thing. that God made the earth very very special.
i think the search for life is a sort of manufactured idea to get people interested in space exploration and space programs. when the US went to the moon back in the 60's it was geologists and scientists that wanted to do it - but no one would have given NASA the money and resources unless Russia was also trying to do it. in most people's minds, it was a race to get there first, to show everyone they were better than the communists. all politics. the scientists and astronauts i don't think actually cared about that at all - they only cared about the science. a lot of them were socialists or communists from germany or eastern european countries controlled then by the USSR. who cares about communism vs. democracy? we want to go to the moon. whatever will convince you to give us enough money and stuff to build rockets, thanks so much!

it's the same today i think. the people who want to go to mars and to build telescopes to study planets really just want to study the universe. but without $$ they can't, and without people interested, they can't get $$. aliens make more people interested than questions about how stars and planets accrete out of clouds of dust, or the history of mars' geology.

i can't say 100% there is no life on other planets. i doubt it, but how could i say for sure?

think about this though, how all the talk about life existing all over the universe makes our creation seem like nothing. just one out of a billion other random species that had to exist because the dice got rolled enough times. and then you have the nutcases who say all intelligent and wonderful things that mankind came up with are because aliens gave it to us. everything they can't explain, they say "aliens."
so aliens turn into an argument for us being accidents, and aliens get turned into a replacement for knowledge from God, or knowledge taught by demons. neither one of those things go along with what how the Bible talks about us.

maybe i'm too old to be posting in here, hee hee. sorry. didn't mean to sound like i was angry. i just get picky about math, so i was arguing about "the argument" -- not with you :)

I get lost often, too! (but not the way Elijah was taken up, into the heavens).

Ha! Ha!



What would be the "best" way to picture those things?

Jesus also was taken up (by angels?) into heaven after He was resurrected and, many ppl say: "I´m going to heaven". The truth is We will be taken (no wings needed)

TOO OLD?

Is there any limit for life, for being posthuman?

I have read there are turtles that lived 200 years.

Oldest turtle age

This is for Biabia (Oldest turtle age) Ha! Ha! :)

I have read trees lived a lot:

I posted it and no anyone is invited to post. Do I gather though you all don't think there is life anywhere else in the universe - Do you not even consider it a possibility?

My mom has one little female turtle of 20 years... I had another, older, that I left on a solitary river, to give its natural freedom, because one of my friends was tired of it and I prayed God had spare its life from human predators, because I don`t like animals in a cage or limited in their wild life (that philosophy includes me also). Ha! Ha!

yes, i can't keep this one for all of it's life, but it is still so small, and i keep it safe until it is a big turtle, that i won't worry about being preyed on. our plan was only to keep it for one year, because the first year is most dangerous for the little one, but that stretched into two now, because he is a joy :)

With the universe literally having billions upon bullions of galaxies which in turns have billions of stars, you could argue that statistically life might also be on other planets and in different forms. If you think that this is possible, or even likely, how does Christian doctrine apply there.
Yes, God created creatures, elsewhere in the heavens. It is recorded in the bible.
They are someday, coming to earth and they will rule over all the earth.
It is recorded in the bible.

They are the fourth kingdom,
the Kingdom of Iron in Nebuchadnezzar's dream.

They are God's army.
