Everyone wants to 'escape'. So they find loopholes to get out of everything. Like of aliens exists, God can't exist.
Honestly, I'm not so sure that the existance of Extra-Terrestrials would have any serious effects when it comes to the truth of the bible.

It would definately raise questions about the role of Sin and Christ for the ET's, but beyond that I don't see any problem. Maybe some Genesis 1-3 stuff...

I don't think ETs would be something good but who knows. Catholic Church stated that if they exist we should bring them the word of Jesus and that we would be brothers and sisters:


Jesuit Father Jose Funes, director of the Vatican's astronomical observatory, said in an interview published Tuesday that believing in alien life doesn't contradict faith in God.
"Just as we consider earthly life as 'a brother' and 'sister,' why should we not talk about an 'extraterrestrial brother?' It would still be part of creation," he said.


It's a big universe out there, said McMurry University physics professor Wayne Keith, "big enough for other forms of life besides what's on the Earth."
"I don't personally see any conflict between belief in God and the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe, and I've always thought it a bit odd that some people would interpret the Bible in a way that precluded life beyond the Earth," Keith said. "... To pin your faith on something not existing is to set yourself up for a crisis of faith if we ever did discover life elsewhere."

I don't know where I'm standing in this topic but I guess I'll think about it when ET comes home again.

Wayne Keith makes a good point here. If one were to say extra-terrestrials, aliens, whatever you want to call them, do not exist and if they do Christianity is therefore impugned, and then they are found, it would cause the people who claimed this to question their faith. However, this claim is an empirical question. A planet has to be in the "Goldilocks's Zone" to be able to produce life, such as a certain distance from a parent star. If this is ever found this would increase the probability that life would be found in the zone (although maybe not intelligent life). It's all up in the air at this point but it can be fun to speculate.

What do you guys make of the Nephilim that are mentioned in both Genesis 6:4 and Numbers 13:33 of the old testament?

And depending on the validity you give the Book of Enoch...Fallen Angels (Angels that fell from heaven after choosing to go into the daughters of men, they were called The Watchers), their offspring of children mixed with humans, etc... are mentioned in that book as well....

I agree the Devil is using Aliens to distract people from the Truth (God, Jesus Christ, Salvation).

And "technically" speaking if you believe in the God, and thus the Bible, and thus Angels (Gabriel, Michael, Raphael, Uriel)...an Angel according to its characteristics by definition is an Alien to our planet earth, as they are from heaven, sent by God, foreign to our planet and different beings than us.

We've just been conditioned into believing that Alien = All the different aliens we've been shown on television and seen in movies like (Independence Day, Mars Attacks, Predator, War of the Worlds, District 9, etc, etc)


So all Christians believe in Aliens already....mystery solved
