The ancient Romans worshipped Mars, so right there his argument fall flat!
Give me a break! Life on any other planet wouldn’t do a thing to the validity of Scripture. Typical atheistic with an agenda.
Go to Mars, dude and see if you can escape God there...
No, even if life is discovered on Mars. Few religions are at all concerned with the origins of life. Maybe none are. It simply doesn’t matter.
False.
It may disprove the time span of six days, but doesn't disprove God had a hand in creation.
After-all God is infinite, Earth and Humans are not. What was God doing all that time before creating Earth?
The Bible makes no mention of steam engines, but we have managed to make them fit into God’s plan.
Drilling in ANWR, logging forests, mining for resources, etc. have the purpose of investing money to create products and services for people to use. Why are billions of taxpayer dollars spent "looking for life on other planets"? Will they be made into fuel or energy? Can they be harvested for food? Can we build anything from them? No, the only reason is that scientists, and the humanist masses who idolize them, think that will somehow "kill God" and, by extension, any moralists who base their beliefs in God. That's why liberals love these kind of people.
If NASA or some private consortium were to say, "We're going to look for Martian microbes because we think they can easily be converted into fuel," there would be such a hue and cry that all of outer space would be placed off-limits.
I don't know. What religions are there on Mars now?
I dunno. Did it end on the moon?
What if they find the conditions for life, but no evidence of life?
Would that disprove atheism?
Did the author ever hear of “Out of the Silent Planet” by the little known author CS Lewis?
How could one fall on their knees and face Mecca?
The Alien Landing will be a Hoax.
Ah my FRiend. I see you have a stick in another pot. Is this a personal wish of yours?
>> For example, some people are already writing off most major religions which are based essentially on an Earth-centric model, as never being able to recover from such a crippling body blow. (The Bible makes no mention of other planets or life on other planets.)
Crippling? The Bible doesn’t mention other planets. It doesn’t say there’s no life elsewhere, it doesn’t say there’s no intelligent life elsewhere ... it just doesn’t say anything. In order to be crippling, wouldn’t you have to disprove something that the Bible says, or contrarily prove something that the Bible says isn’t? You cannot simply prove something that the Bible doesn’t address, and then claim it disproves the Bible.
The Bible isn’t a complete guide to the universe — it is a need-to-know type document about the origins of life on Earth, rules for a Godly life, the pivotal story of Christ, and the nature of the divine.
It doesn’t address other planets — thus, Christianity doesn’t take a position on extraterrestrial life. If God can create the Universe, and place life on Earth, it would seem to follow that he could do the same thing elsewhere.

We get your message, you dont beliee there is anything but the here and now. Do we care about your opinion? No, its probably not worth the powder to blow it to nothing(since Hell doesn’t exist according to you,oh great one:-P So after the few flashes of seconds in the scheme of things, you will be a puff of nothingness(giving benefit of the doubt):-( my, oh my, what a loss:-)
The Bible also didn’t mention microwaves or hula-hoops or gravity or
It doesn’t pretend to answer or address all topics.
