Just curious: For the sake of argument let’s say that life is discovered on another planet or that tomorrow aliens show up at the UN to ask why we tolerate socialism.
Will it change your faith in Jesus? Would you doubt your salvation?
Of course not.
Then why does it matter?
It’s about an aspect of Christian witness.
We fall for secular socialism because it is ersatz Christianity.
And let’s not hide it. Are you so independent that you even refuse Social Security? Maybe you are a pick and choose “conservative”?
Some Christians take the Bible so literally that they believe there is and has been only one Jesus.
So if there were beings from other planets, their first knowledge of Jesus would only be upon listening to our transmissions or communicating with us.
It seems unfair enough to some Christians that Jesus was most likely unknown to Native Americans, Chinese, Indians, etc. but to expect lizard people from Voltron to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior without hearing word one about him unless they happen to visit Earth, is unfairness to the Nth degree.
Some believe that if there are aliens that Jesus will have appeared on all of those planets as well. Others believe that for the Bible to be 100% accurate, then there can be no other sentient beings besides humans. They believe that if it ever appears that we are being visited by aliens, it will either be trickery on the part of the Illuminati or demons from hell impersonating aliens.
So yes, the possible existence of alien species light years away from Earth who most likely will never come in contact with us is very troubling to some Christians.
It matters because the faith of many has been destroyed by atheistic junk science.
