| Is there Life on other Planets?

That's why I don't argue the "vastness" in and of itself. I simply point out this:
If you were to find a particular species of fish, then you would KNOW that fish exists... or at the very least, DID exist. Therefore... taking life on this planet in the same arguement... because WE exist, we KNOW that the universe can sustain Life. The Earth is simply a location.
Another example is right here on our planet:
You had people in England. They wondered if there was life across the ocean. Well... since the planet was obviously supporting THEM, it was a reasonable and logical conclusion that the planet could very well sustain life elsewhere. By that same notion, the universe has Earth which we KNOW can sustain life... therefore, if the universe can sustain our planet... | |

Posted: 3/19/2006 10:01:53 AM | Of course life on other planets exist. It would be selfish to think that we're the only "intelligent" life-form in the entire universe. And not just only that, there are even clear signs in our own solar system which proves that life could have exists on other planets besides Earth.
A popular theory is that water came to Earth via large asteroids carrying ice from Mars and other planets.
Of course, everything is up to you. | |

The bottom line is that we could, indeed, be the only life in the universe. It just doesn't seem plausible considering how often Life, itself, seems to prove to us how little we understand. | |

And the chances of wining the lotery are sixty two million to one yet almost every week someone wins. By extension of this, it is logical that not only has life from mars already visited, but it has won the lotery! | |

Posted: 3/23/2006 3:53:07 PM | | If there were life, God would have wanted us to know, and he would have it in the Bible. Since I know it is not in there, therefore there is no life anywhere else in the universe, just moonrocks and stuff. | |

Posted: 3/23/2006 5:50:35 PM | | Yes, there is life on other planets. How foolish to think that our Father in Heaven does not have many creations, all populated. Yes, Jesus came here, but that doesn't mean we are the only ones. I think one must always take into account that we are in mortality, and that our mortal minds are limited. | |

Posted: 3/26/2006 11:23:00 AM | This is something that in all likelyhood is unprovable. The is the whole lightspeed limit , that makes travel to even the nearest star system unattainable. We have yet to develop a technology that will allow faster than light travel. Despite all the alleged sightings, there is no verifiable evidence to suggest extraterrestials have ever visited Earth.
If there are millions of planets in the Universe, the odd are in favour of other intelligent life, but the physical laws of the universe makes it equally likely that we shall never meet them. | |

Posted: 3/26/2006 11:37:03 AM | Okay, I don't know about all the other posters, but to the OP, I gotta say that's some pretty weak reasoning. "God did it" may, in fact, work in some arguments, but, come on. "God didn't say so"? Possibilities exist independent of human interpretation of Scripture. For my part, I honestly don't know if there is or can be life elsewhere in the universe, but if Red Mother wanted children on other planets, well... She's Red Mother!  Who am I to question the doings of gods? | |

Posted: 3/30/2006 8:27:56 AM | Well what do you think?
As a christian i don't believe there is life on other planets for the simple reason that Jesus came to EARTH and died for us on THIS planet, not on Mars. 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!!!!
What do you think?
Come on chalenge my theory (or Gods truth?) xxxxxxx
*******************
Such a myopic viewpoint.How do we know that "angels" or "demons" for that matter aren't ET's?You mention Christ's death for the atonement of sin.Perhaps other races didn't have a fall or were not endowed with choice as man was.
One of the big reasons why I'm not religious is the anthrocentrism that surrounds religion.If earth is the only place where life exists, then someone please tell me why the other planets and stars exist?Why didn't this God just make earth, a sun and a moon and a few other lights for signs and seasons?Why put other galaxies out there and billions of stars all with the possibilities or having planets capable of supporting life?Seems like a big waste.
Having said that though, the possibility of another race discovering us or us discovering them is extremely remote.It would be like a fish living at the bottom of the Atlantic discovering a Condor that lived in the Andes. | |

Posted: 3/30/2006 9:22:48 AM | Scientists theorize that there must be at least 10,000 planets that should have life form on them in our galaxy, out of 1- 30 billion terrestrial planets that could exist. The Bible does not state wethor or not this is true nor untrue. I believe since God created earth and all of the other planets and such he must have created the same elsewhere.
My question is do you think that there is a parallel universe? | |

Because the MEN who wrote it had no idea what those "pin holes" in the fabric of the sky were. | |

Posted: 3/30/2006 10:55:59 AM | "Hi sky. Everyone loves a good conspiracy theory. Let’s hear it. By the way, there is this guy, David Ike I believe, who says reptilian aliens are in league with powerful people in top military and governmental positions. Together they manipulate world events. Have you heard of him? Really weird stuff."
I don't care much for conspiracy theories but that's not to say there isn't any truth in them... David Ike is an Englishman who was ridiculed off the TV screen here. I think he has some good points... like the saying goes: 'Who can tell the truth from fiction when fact is sometimes stranger?'
My ideas may well be ridiculed if I were to state them, so I say, keep an open mind, don't rule anything in or anything out. With regard to ET visitation or close encounters of the third kind, I would say there is enough evidence for it if you are prepared to research and this is not fiction, much of it has appeared in scientific reviews. I have just been reading some pretty startling stuff from analysts on the subject.
The answer is YES, not only is there life out there but much of it is so far advanced that there is little difference between what we see as magic.
Cheers! | |

Posted: 3/30/2006 10:24:32 PM | | Sky, I think you're right. An open mind is a good thing. I think it would be awesome to be in England where most of the major circles appear. I would definitely want to be checking them out in person. Which reminds me, there was recently on television, a documentary on the history of man made flying saucers. Apparently, development continues within the secrecy of military black projects. If there really was anything true about the Roswell incident, I think we could be certain that all efforts were made to reverse engineer the technology. Hey UCbrotha, it gets even weirder. He figures the royal family are, in actual fact, shape shifting lizard people. | |

I see the argument for half-full/half-empty all the time.
Seems to me, it's just the wrong sized glass.
The analogy follows this OP too. | |

******************
I saw a really cool documentary on the science channel about that a few weeks ago.It said that physicists now believed in as many as 11 dimensions I think (maybe more but 11 seems to stand out in my mind), and that many scientists believed in the Everett Wheeler model of the universe that says that there is an infinite number of universes where every possible scenario has been played out.A universe where you or I were never born or one in which matter was never formed. | |

Posted: 4/12/2006 1:52:06 AM | UFO's are demons in the material universe. Angels can take any shape and form but demons can only fly in the spirit realm. In the material universe they would need a ship to fly. Ok most are saying I'm full of it. Did you ever hear of Jesus and his kingdom which will be 1,500miles wide and in length floating above Jerusalem in his 1,000 yr rain. What is that to someone who never seen it before, a UFO! We ARE alone in the universe because God made everything. To many buckrogers, starwars, startrek, that people think we are not. Space is the 2nd heaven.
Matthew 24:
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Ezekiel 1:
20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, they went, thither [was their] spirit to go; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creature [was] in the wheels.
21 When those went, [these] went; and when those stood, [these] stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over against them: for the spirit of the living creatures [was] in the wheels
Jeremiah 4:
13 Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots [shall be] as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.
Matthew 2:
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
Revelation 9:
1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star (UFO?) fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.
It's all part of satan's plan to fool everyone. When the Rapture happens millions will disapear and the anti-christ will say they have been beamed to the ships.(ufo's) And many people will think the UFO's are here to make peace when actually there demons. A false peace it will be! | |

Posted: 4/12/2006 6:36:47 AM | The Rapture is not an Exit Strategy. If you think so, then You are following the False Prophet.............
The word "Rapture" is not found in the Bible. There is also no single word used by the biblical authors to describe the prophetic factors which comprise the doctrine................
......the doctrine of the Rapture is not mentioned in any Christian writings, of which we have knowledge, until after the year 1830 A.D.....
...Let us look at what happened in the year 1830 ............the power of the Holy Spirit was said to have rested on a Miss Margaret Macdonald while she was in a state of illness at home. She was dangerously sick and thought she was dying............ during which she experienced the manifestations of "mingled prophecy and vision." The message she received during this prophetic vision convinced her that Christ was going to appear in two stages at His second coming -- and not one! The emanation revealed that Christ would first come in glory to them that look for Him and again in a final stage when every eye would see Him. It was this visionary experience of Miss Macdonald which represents the prime source of the modern Rapture doctrine as the historical evidence compiled by Mr. MacPherson abundantly shows.
A fever induce Vision......... and Millions now think they can sit on their butts and just wait..... Well I say If you want Heaven... Then get off your butt and start working for it. It is only going to happen when we All Pull Together.
Yea, all this UFO stuff may just be more garbage to keep us divided and chasing shadows... but at least people are searching and questioning. Rather then just sitting on their self righteous beliefs waiting for some sick woman's "Vision" to save them.
They don't even put in the effort to understand what it is they think they believe in.

Posted: 4/12/2006 7:17:45 AM | | The question makes me wonder: How slowly religion moves over to scientific reality. I will not judge one against the other, but some things are blindingly obvious to me. Some of these things have already been written here, another is this: One day the truth will be known about the origin of our universe, and like it or not, my guess is, it will have nothing to do with Bible scriptures. | |

Posted: 4/12/2006 11:52:54 AM | | Hi, I have a question is a rock a life form? Yes there is life on other planets it only percieves on how you define a life form, for example does a plant grow, does not the earth grow does not a rock have a form, I apologize if I offended you in anyway. Also does not a star burn does not the sun create light. does not wind blow, there probably aren't little green men running around on a planet with big eyes, as I say nothing is impossible just unknown.=) | |
