I consider your ASSUMPTIONS about Genesis vis a vis ET’s etc. to be far
MORE ASSUMPTION
than even extrapolation or inference.
Given the silence of Scripture in terms of clear statements on the subject, that’s all anyone’s perspective or construction on reality in this ball park can be—your’s included.
I think there are far more bits of Scripture to support my inferences and extrapolations than support yours.
Besides, your construction on reality leaves God Almighty being a much smaller God than I have found Him to be.
I understand and sympathize with this thought because I used to think the same thing. I would love to explain how an ex amateur astronomer has come to grips with the idea that God seems smaller because the universe seems less important and is not teeming with life as I had once thought. I just don't think you would appreciate my input and I have a problem with rejection.
