Given what my Bible tells me, humans are IT for intelligent life and the Earth is IT for life. I’m not concerned about attracting non-existent extra-terrestrials by sending signals into space. Perhaps the money spent on such useless ‘science’ could be used to research better ways to grow food in places life Africa and India, for example.
You do understand that a belief in God and the possibilty that we are not his only creations are not mutually exclusive.....right?
It sounds like the discovery of other intelligent life will shatter your beliefs.....
It wont shatter mine.
Those other people elsewhere have their own paths and books.
“Given what my Bible tells me, humans are IT for intelligent life and the Earth is IT for life.”
The Bible doesn’t say whether the Lord has created life, let alone intelligent life, anywhere else. I assume that we are the only ones, but we aren’t told and therefore we don’t know.
I would not be surprised if there is non-intelligent life in the universe. Plants, trees, etc. Our God is a Creator who loves life. It wouldn’t surprise me a bit if there were Earth-like planets out there filled with living things.
I do know one thing, though: If there is intelligent life out there, we won’t be hearing from them.
Earth is a war zone. A planet in rebellion. If there are intelligent beings out there, they were created by God. And created by Him, there would be a huge NO FLY ZONE all around this region of space.
Given what my Bible tells me, humans are IT for intelligent life and the Earth is IT for life.
Not to get into a religious debate, because I believe in God, and am a Christian, but when the Bible was written, we still thought the earth was flat, and that the Sun revolved around the earth.
Science gives us the ability to better see God’s wonders.
Knowing now how almost infinite the universe is I can’t believe Earth is God’s only life giving planet.
He gave us eyes to see, and a mind capable of learning, growing, and understanding for a reason.
the Bible doesn’t mention antibiotics, electricity, indoor plumbing, jet planes, or automobiles either.
What’s your point?
just for fun,
maybe Jesus was speaking of ET’s....?
Christ said, “And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd “ (John 10:16).

My Bible speaks of vast numbers of intelligent life not bound to our planet or any other. They go by name of cherubim, seraphim and others. They have specific names such as Michael, Gabriel, Lucifer and Molech. While I doubt any other planet based life such as we are, God has made a multitude of angels some of whom have since fallen.
