Life on Other Planets: Is it a problem for creationists?

This does not threaten the creationist beliefs at all.Our god has created many, many worlds and galaxies. Earth, however, was his main creation and also first creation. There may be life on other planets, but if there is, god created it, therefore this is not a threat at all, and whoever this guy is pretty unintelligent to even think this would be a threat.

So, did Jesus die for their sins, too? Or did they have their own alien Jesus? Or maybe they never ate the fruit, etc? So there's no sin on their planet - but then, if sin entered the entire universe because of Adam and Eve, do they then have sin for no fault of their own?

​

It's difficult to countenance a god that would condemn all intellegent life for the actions of two people on one planet. Extraterrestrial life puts some wrinkles in your theology; I'm surprised you haven't thought of them before.

I can see your point, however, you didn't understand what I was saying. He most likely created life, probably things similar to animals. It may be intelligent life, but animals on our planet are considered intelligent. I have no belief in the sci-fi type aliens and doubt they were created. I believe, and the bible strictly says, that man is the most complex object god has created. If we do, however, find intelligent, sci-fi, extraterrestrial life, I will concede to this argument and start seriously thinking about these "wrinkles" (This will never happen though).[This message has been edited by DaVx0r, 11-30-2003][This message has been edited by DaVx0r, 11-30-2003]

"Well, I agree that we're totally speculating either way. Honestly I don't like to get into these debates because this is exactly how they end - we say "well, I'll make up my mind when we actually find the aliens." What else would we do?"

---

Yeah, I guess. And the reason I said I would "decide if we found them" is because I don't believe in intelligent ET life in the first place. I mean, it would be like me asking you(or any evolutionist), "What if Jesus came back from the heavens and told us there is a god? Wouldn't that prove evolution wrong?" Most athiests don't even believe in Jesus, therefore there would be no point in them even considering it. I hope you understand my point.

While that would be very interesting, just how would that prove evolution wrong? Jesus would have to tell us a few other things first wouldn't he?

---

Not really...The fact that Jesus and God are indeed real should enough to prove the entire theory of evolution wrong. I mean, I suppose he may have to say that the bible is also correct in all its terminology or something similiar. But then again, I guess he would have to say a lot more to convince an athiest...But getting back, I was trying to prove a point, and I think that the point had been proven. You shouldn't have to go to the very detail in a situation like this to try to prove your point there, PompousNed.

And you have evidence to assure us of this?

Before you go ahead and quote me on a PIECE of something I said, why don't you actually read the entire couple of posts you quoted me from, then you would realize that I was speaking in hypothetic terms.

He would also have a lot of explaining to do after he had made it clear that everything was created in 6 days wouldn't he? But that is a topic for another thread. Sorry for starting to wander off topic.

Not really, what I said before is all one would need...
