no

The Bible makes Earth the central place of His creation - the fall affected the whole universe, not just the Earth - time is actually accelerating as you get away from the center of the universe, where we are approximately there - this is also why we can actually see the universe - as well as see God's Glory

Don't think so, not like ours, but there are beings that don't live on earth. They can take the form of a human. That's Biblical.

God created the Heavens and the Earth. There isn't really any mention of outer space. There's a reason it's called science fiction. :D

God doesn't mention any other civilization except for mankind.
The fact that Jesus died for MAN and not martians I wouldn't think there are little green men out there in the universe,.

The Bible doesn't mention it, but why reject the possibility that humanity isn't alone in this universe?
God never defined angels as spirit only, but that they reside in heaven.
What prevents angels from having a home planet in the heavens?





I'm 1/2 kidding.

If we don't get a home planet, why should the angels? :D

Seriously, though, I think the scriptures support that there are angels in Heaven, I just don't think of Heaven as a planet. The idea has too much of a Carl Sagan feel, and I don't think scripture says anything about it.

Possibly, in the end it does not matter. For it is not right that I wonder and seek to intrude and know another's story when I have my own.

There are other realms, but it doesn't mention in the scriptures about other life form beside the ones on earth in the physical realm. But I do believe that the ones from a certain spiritual realm can crossover into our realm and able to manifest themselves in the physical.

God will destroy the entire universe, and the destruction comes due to the sins of mankind. Why would God create other life on other planets only to destroy it because of our sins on Earth?

I found the first book of Enoch very helpful in understanding the structure of outer space. The 2nd and 3rd book are kinda odd though. I don't trust much about them.

I believe there are lots of inhabitable planets, maybe with plant life, maybe animal life, but nothing sentient on our level.
Because this planet cannot contain all the people that have ever lived once they are resurrected.
Much less, the number we have today.
Not to mention a quantity like the "sand of the sea" or "stars of heaven"

God has shown the ability to create any being on any space at His pleasure. It is possible that there is life out there not created in His Image. After all, learned men of early civilizations believed that the planet was believed to be flat. We just do not know now.....

I read today in New Scientist (Oct 12 - 18, 2013) that some astronomers estimate there may be as many as 30 billion planets in our galaxy suitable to life. Why would they be devoid of life? Why would there be no other civilizations? It would be an awful waste of real-estate if our world was the only one with life.

The Bible implies that the earth is flat and the sun, moon and stars orbit our world. I don't think I am going to base the possibility of life elsewhere on what scripture has to say.

If there was life elsewhere it would be absurd to think God would make them suffer for the actions of two beings on a distant world; would you agree?

Pardon? Time is accelerating the farther you get from the centre of the universe? Where did you get this notion and where is the centre of the universe? Are you sure we are at the centre? Are you knowledgeable about astronomy?

You mean we as a civilization will eventually reach out to the stars or you think God will spread us throughout the stars?

Also, most planets are probably uninhabitable. No one will ever live on Jupiter, for example.
