"A guy a my church once asked me, “Maybe the universe just looks older than it is. Don’t you believe God could create the light on its way here from the stars?”

And I said, “Sure He could. But why?”"

I agree, yes God can, but why would He?
Perhaps so that we could see the magnitude of His creation? I don't know, Scripture seems to be silent on that possibility.

[Molon Labbie]

There are no space faring races.

Life, almost certainly.

Intelligent species, maybe.

But those that cross interstellar distances, I don’t think so or they would have colonized the cosmos by now.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Their detection of space signals is far superior to ours, but they still can’t waste energy just hunting.

Taking that a step further, they probably don't need to travel long distances in space just to eat strange proteins. :)

They wouldn't bother contacting us or replying unless they thought we had something of great value to them.
