Liberals and Satan both want us to feel guilty that that we are, in fact, created in the image of Godm and are at the center of God's universe.
It's so cool that we are that important to God!
We are created in the image of God... yay! (Not “Godm”... spellcheck so weird here)
Nothing. I was asked one time: Did Jesus have to visit all the planets to save whatever beings were there? I answered, nope. We were the only planet that didn’t listen to God so He had to come down here to set us straight.
My ex was pretty spiritual and not long after our marriage, she introduced me to the subject of flying saucers.

One will never really know until you meet one. Anything else is just hearsay.
I am curious, any good ways to lure down one of theses aliens and capture them?
While I’m not going to take a stance about this I will observe that man, as fickle and irrational as ever, has made very different assumptions about the significance of the presence of intelligent life on other worlds.
At different times in the West it has been asserted that such life is alternately proof of God or else proof there is no divine.
As for myself, I’d just be happy if we could find intelligent life in Washington DC.
... or, failing that, Republicans with backbones....
I think what modern sci fi shows like Star Trek have done to the average mind is deceive it into thinking interstellar travel is not that difficult. Stars are unimaginably far apart, separated by a profoundly inhospitable wasteland of nothing. It would take an equally unimaginable technology to cross those gaps so that civilizations could interact. But what do they appear to do once they get here? Abduct some cows? Fly around in meaningless patters? Pile some big rocks into pyramids? I find it hard to believe.
NO! That question contains the logical fallacy called Argument by Assertion. The assertion is that there are actual communications with entities that could be authentic extra-terrestrials. The alternative of such communications being delusions is not included.
The Bible says the stars are lights in the sky affixed to a firmament.
The people who say, “Surely God would have created other beings. Why waste all those planets?”, are thinking too small and too short. All of Creation is for us, the born again Believers. We will enjoy ETERNITY in the activities of exploring and developing the infinite Universe in immortal, glorified bodies exactly like Christ had when He walked out of the tomb on the first Easter Morning.
No physical evidence whatsoever that Earth has ever been visited by extraterrestrial civilizations. If they are out there, we’ll never get to them, nor will they ever get to us.
Communication? Possible, someday. Though even that’s unlikely.
Lots of work to be done.
If you look at the big picture, without getting bogged down in the details, then flying saucers are the same as time machines. It’s all part of the cosmic lattice of coincidences.
There is a lot that is *not* talked about in the bible.
The bible is for us, so there would be no reason to mention life on other planets.
This is how many angels on the head of a pin stuff.
I do *not* think there are extra terrestrial aliens that can reach us. The evidence is simply not there.
Could demons pretend to be aliens? Sure.
Suitable gravity for atmosphere, with appropriate pressure, to retain oxygen and water vapor but not hydrogen; suitable axis rotation rate; appropriate tilt of planet axis for seasons; suitable orbital distance from star to prevent tidal locking; magnetic field from planet molten core to shield atmosphere from cosmic radiation; sufficient planetary plate tectonics for crustal mineral recycling; suitable distribution and shape of continents to sustain deep ocean currents; sufficient actinide radioisotopes in planet interior for decay heat; suitably-sized moon to create needed tides and stabilize planet rotation; giant outer gas planets to prevent large asteroids and comets from frequent collisions with planet; suburban galaxy location providing sufficient distance from recent supernovas; far enough away from gravitational disturbances by higher density of stars in inner area of galaxy; only minor orbital variations caused by small chaotic gravitational interactions between nearby planets.
With these factors the number of planets in our galaxy capable of sustaining human life is much smaller than the media and grant-seeking astronomers imply in their articles. The estimated probable number is likely very close to the experimentally known value of one.
Enrico Fermi's succinct response in 1950 to the question about ETs was, "If they existed, they would be here." That answer was amplified in Frank J. Tipler's article, "Extraterrestrial intelligent beings do not exist" (Royal Astronomical Society, Quarterly Journal, vol. 21, Sept. 1980, p. 267-281).
He’s an unidentified flying object
You will see Him in the air
He’s an unidentified flying object
You will drop your hands and stare
You will be afraid to tell your neighbors
They might think that it’s not true
But when they open up the morning papers
They will know they’ve seen Him too
He will come back like He promised
With the price already paid
He will gather up His followers
And take them all away
He’s an unidentified flying object
He will sweep down from the sky
He’s an unidentified flying object
Some will sleep but will not die
He’s an unidentified flying object
Coming back to take you home
He’s an unidentified flying object
He will roll away your stone
*** And if there’s life on other planets
Then I’m sure that He must know
And He’s been there once already
And has died to save their souls
He’s an unidentified flying object
You will see Him in the air
He’s an unidentified flying object
You will drop your hands and stare
He’s an unidentified flying object
Coming back to take you Home
He’s an unidentifed flying object
He will roll away your stone

“In the beginning God made the heavens and the earth”. Does that cover it?
In my twisted mind, I believe that’s why it’s taking so long for Jesus to come back - He has to go and be Jesus on all of the alien worlds as well. Rough way to live, though.
The bible is full of mention about life forms beyond our planet.
