Recently there has been an accelerated ‘wave’ of UFO hysteria sweeping the globe, and many supporters have contacted us asking for comments. Later in this article, the recent claims are highlighted and addressed. Because we have written much in recent years about the growing popularity of what is commonly called the UFO phenomenon, this article will only briefly touch on what underpins this cultural phenomenon. Many of our original arguments and explanations are still relevant to these new speculative claims that appear in the media. This article provides many links to relevant articles already on creation.com,

The strength of such ideas also presents a challenge to the traditional Christian worldview, because they are in stark contrast to the idea that mankind is the central focus of God’s creation. A straightforward understanding of Scripture leaves no place for similarly sentient and intelligent morally aware beings elsewhere in the universe. The primary role of the creation was to bring forward a bride for Christ (see Did God create life on other planets? for a biblically-based perspective on this). Such a seemingly ‘dogmatic’ stance has led to shouts of ‘arrogance’ aimed at Christians. However, these are strange accusations, coming from those who believe that the universe is widely inhabited by ETs, because to date we do not have a shred of indisputable

THX THX. Please see my response just above.
Why presume the unknown is automatically evil? Perhaps they are good. Perhaps they are both good and evil, just like humans.
Yes, there is: as this author stated: the creation was meant for man, beside if Christ died to redeem us (and creation is fallen) then He would have to die thousands of times, on 1000’s of worlds (clearly the Bible says He only died once!).
So yes, alien life is incompatable with Christ (other than simple celled critters/bacteria).
I am not freakin Gary Bates, but I agree with the author 100%.
It depends. It’s a “signs and wonders” thing. There are tests to determine if the alien-being is of God or not;
- speaks according to the Word
- confesses Jesus is the Son of God
A few other things worthy of prayerful study...grist for another thread’s mill perhaps :)...
Demons exist.
Do unfallen beings also exist?
I think so.
Decide for yourselves...
Jhn 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Jhn 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Isa 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I [am] the LORD; and [there is] none else.
Hbr 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds
Hbr 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
I do not think He (Jesus) made the WORLDS in vain either.
I believe “aliens”, are a demonic ruse to decieve mankind (and weak “Christians” into not believing in God of the Bible)!

Not saying this isn’t interesting (it indeed has great entertainment value) but this belong in Bloggers, or maybe Religion, but not News.
It was posted late at night, and so I wanted to reach a greater audience than “bloggers”..
J.S.
That’s my thought too.
Do you believe that creating a star with no materials at hand would be a simple matter (no pun intended) as well?
Yep, Satan is using it to deceive folks, watch the One World Religion they spout when they “arrive”. Thanks for the book tip, I will try to get a copy.
For God, yes, for me, no.
Evidently some got their bodies killed in NOah’s flood and became demons . . . without bodies unless possessing someone or e.g. pigs.
Evidently a lot were left off planet. . . . in space or some other dimension.
