What if Aliens exist?

what would it mean, to any religion that has at it's core that *a* god(s) created Earth / Life on Earth (with no reference to other planets) and the whole "we are special" thing, if life on other planets is found?

doesn't it make "Genesis", for one, ... um... wrong?

There is a small chance that they don't exist, there is a very, very, very small chance that we will ever have any contact with them...

The bible said nothing about not making the alien worlds, maybe the extra terrestrials have a different bible witch talks about it, then again, religion is based on faith not fact so it wouldn't effect anything.

I believe the bible is just a fiction novel created for entertainment purposes...

Man will never no...

For a long time the Earth was considered to be the only world. Therefore extraterrestrials just weren't an issue for the Biblical writers.

Therefore the bible is full of shit 🙂

Gods have been created by humans to give a purpose to life, i recon there has to be other life 'cos the probability of life being created is so small that it is nearly impossible but here we are and if something happens once it can easily happen again!

Well said.

If aliens could be proved, I bet many Christians would lose their faith in scripture since it doesn't mention it. Many believe that we've never gone to the moon, cause somewhere in the Bible it say that man will not leave the earth, or something like that.

oh and if earth was created in 6 days then dinosaurs could never of existed...
thats what i've heard from really religious friends...

i do think dinos existed. i can't wait till someone accidently finds one still preserved or alive. that would jus question peoples faith.

i believe that with all the space out there..there has got to be some other beings other than humans around. otherwise, it would really suck talking only to humans for all time. lol

What happened to that frozen mammoth? You can't have made it into a very hairy soup!

Aliens DO exist

I choose not to believe in aliens and I am sticking to it.JM

Because you don't believe in the evidence some provide or because you choose to keep your head in the sand?

Nether.JM

There is no actual evidence either way.

However, they DO exist.

Okay, think of it this way.

Look up to the sky on a clear night and look at all the countless numbers of stars that you can see.

Now, let's say, for argument's sake, half of thos stars that we can see had planets revolving around them.

Okay, so now say that *those* half of the stars had planets that had livable conditions. (Right temeperature, water, air to breath, plants...)

Well, now let's say half of that half had microorganisms. (Bacteria etc.)

Now let's say that those half had some sort of multi-celled organisms living on them. (Animals.)

Now, we say half of that half had intelligent or semi-intelligent organisms living on them.

Do you follow?

Well, if not, I assume you get the picture. Anyway, now that we've halved and halved and halved and halved, do you know how many stars and star systems we still have left?

...

A LOT!

And that, my friends, is why I believe in aliens.

(Oh, and if you were wondering, I read something like this in a magazine, and it does have a very good point!)

how can WE be the only living matter in the entire universe.

so yes , i believe that aliens do exist

This may sound strange, but I've read that a source has it that our little world has been quarantined off from the rest of the universes because our beliefs and views are too primitive...Not reaching our higher good.

That life does exist on other planets, but they're not supposed to contact

us yet.

Oh...the things I read....

It's arrogant to believe that we're alone.
