Posted: 11/10/2006 10:14:46 AM | Have the recent 2005 pictures from Mars that Arthur C. Clarke thought had objects resembling trees been talked about in this thread yet?
I've seen some of the pictures of these huge tree like growths that appear on the south hemisphere of Mars seasonally. Really weird looking. Scientists don't know what to make of them from what I read.
Really like hear the opinion of a geology expert on something like that.

Posted: 11/10/2006 10:12:44 PM | | I think it's naive to believe we are the only forms of life in the entire universe. I don't see how your quote dismisses the possiblity of life on other planets in Gods plan. | |

After very close inspection ussing photoshop to bring out varius aspects of the photo, it is apparent that they are indents in the surface rather than things sticking out. The shadows can not lie.
I would go with the NASA explination that they are very shalow metior impacts that sesonaly are partialy covered up by dust or snow, thus making them look like they shrink and grow. | |

Posted: 11/13/2006 5:46:06 PM | I don’t go much for anything NASA explains, there are many things of interest they could tell, if they wanted to. Why haven't they talked about the recent storm on Saturn for one? Something of its magnitude would surly be of interest.
Life on other planets is not science fiction… the odds are astounding for life. The question is how much do they know about us and how much is being kept quite by the authorities? Just where God comes into any of it is anyone’s guess. | |

I wasn't aware that was Nasa's explanation. Given this is an your area of expertise I'll take your word for it. Where can I read an article about Nasa's opinion? | |

Posted: 11/15/2006 6:55:01 PM | Oh its not my area of expertise, I'm prety good at my geography but not good enough to go making any astounding claims about martion crater geometry.
As for where to read about it, I'm not sure. I can't remeber where I got the information but I will try to help. The problem is that NASA heads say a lot of stuf, but never make any of it official. After the massive embarsment of the Life on mars and other previous scandles involving NASA, they have had no official line concerning any hint of extra terestrial life. The best way to get NASA to stop talking about something is to sugest it proves life on Mars, then they won't toch it with a barge pole.
I have been told that their official response to the issue, was to say "Sir Arthur C Clark is a little bit eccentric."
I rember something about Phil Christensen at Arizona state Uni, and the Themis scaner abourd Odyssey, but its far to late for me to go checking it all out just now. If that dosen't lead you to a fruitive find by the next time I log on, then I shall ask my friends about it and get some proper answers for you.
(If I rember corectly there was also some talk of this beeing posible evidence of Microbial activity, the dark patches being dust shot up by gysers of methane produced by microbes in the rock, which is probly why NASA don't talk of it, they do like to steer clear of the posible sighns of life stuff cause it so often causes them embarsment.)

Posted: 11/17/2006 4:48:57 AM | There must be due to the vastness of space and time.
Other religions don't acknowledge the existance of Jesus as the son of God, rather he is regarded as just another profit.
In deed if there really is an almight being behind it all ,one tiny planet in an obscure part of an obscure galaxy, would not keep him occupied for very long and what will he do when the sun goes out? Sleep or be creative again. | |

Posted: 4/27/2007 6:17:24 PM | | Amen to that! Of course their's life out their! My belief is that he created many other planets and yes...at many other times. And when this life is over and if we've met his expectations...maybe we can move on to the other worlds he created. Who's to say we weren't on a previous one just because we don't have any memory of it? We've got to believe there's more than shat we see! Our hearts and soles tell us so. Turn the T.V. and stereo and get to know each other. | |

Posted: 4/27/2007 6:24:46 PM | But didn't God create the entire universe?
And why would God talk about what's happening on other planets to us, when we've got such a long way to go to tighten things up on our own planet?
And what's to say that in saying "only son", God didn't actually give us the unique station of Prophethood? The Bible could have been talking about Moses, Abraham, and Adam, too...or even Zoroaster, since the Three Magi were Zoroastrian.
But that's part of my own beliefs, that Jesus has been back again and again, under different names, in different places and times, and that God's Son is what Bahá'ís call the Manifestation of God's Will, i.e. the Prophets.
And in the Kitáb-I-Aqdas, Bahá'u'lláh mentions the possibility of life on other planets within God's universe, so I'm good to go. | |

Posted: 4/27/2007 6:31:22 PM | | The real question should be is there INTELLIGENT life on other planets? How conceited, and proud, would humankind be to assume we are the centre of the universe! I know some do, but that is really a piss poor attitude. IMO, not only is there life out there, but it could teach us how to look after ourselves, if we were not so arrogant. | |

Shhh! Remember we were told to keep a low profile once we landed...we don't want the home office finding out!
Of course there is other life out there...and they probably have a different form of religion...wouldn't that be interesting...getting them to land and getting yet another form of religion that people will start wars over....
Cheers! | |

Posted: 4/30/2007 8:52:50 PM | I think I've come up with a solution for Christians....God may have sent His only begotten Son here, but He sent His billions of Daughters to other planets to teach "do unto others....."
Really, how ultimately arrogant to think humans are the only life forms in this universe. Remember the "many mansions" thing?

"God so loved the world that he gave his ONLY Son that who so believeth shall not perish but have everlasting life"
Can you quote the part from the bible where it says "And after he ascended to heaven, Jesus took off his sandals and NEVER DID ANYTHING EVER AGAIN"? That'd be a great help to this discussion.
(i.e. why couldn't Jesus go visit the Plutonians after he finished being crucified here? Where in the bible does it say that?) | |

For a start, who said that alien life has to have a gender? Or that if it dose have a gender that it will necicerily have a male? And for that mater, why can god not give an alien species his only begoten daughter!
Secondly, as they said /\ /\ /\ . Just because he only had the one son, dose not meen he could not have visited many difrent places, or have you lived your entire life in the hospital you were born in? | |

Good point, who is to say that if ET exists they are not evolved or created for asexual reproduction? I would hate to be the one to put words in the mouth of any theist, but why would God be male and not female... why not asexual? | |

Posted: 5/3/2007 4:39:28 AM | | i believe there's life somewhere else in this universe. it would be arrogant to think that we are the live planet i suppose. people say they've sighted UFO'S. they visit some and not others on this planet. why's this. we could be an experiment, they come and check now and then to see how our intelligence is coming on, or how distructive we as a nation have become. there are endless possibilities we are just a blip in the grand scale of things. i'm not going to challenge any peoples beliefs as you are all entitled to them. but some people are very narrow minded | |

Posted: 5/3/2007 1:53:31 PM | Interesting question, which can have varied opionions.
As vast and unknown as the universe is, it could be a possibility. Personally I would like to thing that there is, but be a sceptic, I would have to met one to believe it.
Surely everyone that claims they have seen a UFO or been abducted can't be nuts. | |

If there was to be other life "out there" then there would have to be another Jesus but the bible says "God so loved the world that he gave his ONLY Son that who so believeth shall not perish but have everlasting life" so it would be imposible!!!!
I see where the OP is comming from; however her reasoning is flawed. Think about it...if god exists. Isn't he an Alien? It certainly can be argued that the "Almighty" and the angels are extraterrestrials.
Assuming you beleave in the bible, sin happened here on earth. The reason we needed Jesus, is because of adams sin. If there are Aliens, why would you assume that they all gave into sin as well? If adam didn't sin, Jesus wouldn't have needed to come here in the first place. | |
