Another question the British priest seeks to tackle is if discovering extraterrestrial life demands religions to rewrite the entire story of creation in Genesis.

How are we going to "re-write" what God wrote in the first place?

If we find algae on Europa atheists will go into a spin and believers will yawn. NASA looses its sense of direction again.

“...if discovering extraterrestrial life demands religions to rewrite the entire story of creation in Genesis.”

“How are we going to ‘re-write’ what God wrote in the first place?”

No re-writing is necessary; there’s no conflict with the Genesis creation account. If there’s extraterrestrial life, God created that, too.

Many of the American Indians said “It’s easy for us to believe in your Jesus, because we already believe in your God.”

If God created aliens, he wouldn’t have abandoned them. Although it is possible they abandoned Him.

If aliens exist, would Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross pay for their sins as well?

Personally, I doubt aliens exist, but scripture is silent on the matter. We do know God has other creations. There are the 4 living beasts in the throne room. He created angels.

But scripture seems indicates that the universe was created for man, and that the end of the universe and creation of a new heavens and a new earth is also tied to man.

God could create aliens but their history would have to be coordinated with man’s. Which is entirely possible.

God never wrote anything that states WE are the only people in the Universe. Not one word.

No need to rewrite genesis.

Genesis already told us what aliens are.

Deceiving fallen angels and nephiliam.

The “weeds” Jesus spoke of in Matthew 13 as a sign of the end of the age are already hiding amongst us.

They are the evil sowed in our field.

Hope this priest is a good exorcist as they attach and hold on pretty tight.

They have no empathy or compassion as they are only half a soul and know that they cannot grow to survive in the new era. Thus they are now making their last hurrah.

“We may not discover [alien] life for 100 years. Or we may discover it next week.”

By many accounts, "alien" life has already discovered us.

‘How are we going to “re-write” what God wrote in the first place?’

well, the same way two separate versions of the creation exist in Genesis, or two separate versions of the Nativity exist in Matthew and Luke...

Are the vaccine injections just their way of creating an opening to enter?

This has been explored “ad nauseam” in many SciFi novels and short stories. It would be far easier, cheaper & just as “accurate” to bind these books & stories into one report with a 6th grade reading level executive summary for FedGov executives. Money clearly burning a hole in some NASA division pocket that clearly could be better spent elsewhere.

Now all that will be needed will be for government to spend about 70 years restoring its credibility.

A NASA expert said [to the U.K.] The Times: “We may not discover life for 100 years. Or we may discover it next week.”


Unsaid : “Or we have already discovered it, but we are just not telling you ... yet.”

Just a word of advice to the priest NASA hires:

Redshirt. You know you'll be the first, right?

"It's a COOKBOOK!"

Until we can communicate with honey bees and other colonial civilizations, we can forget about extraterrestrials
