Either you believe Einstein or you believe in UFOs. You really can’t believe in both.

As a Christian, I believe the bible leaves room for quadrillions of inhabited planets, but the laws of physics keeps us away from each other in this reality. The spiritual realm is something else, though.

Regarding the physical creation, the bible is earth centric, and man is God’s manager of that planet. i.e. we are in His image, and here as His “gardeners” and to have a personal relationship with him.

Who is to say that is not playing out, or has played out, or will play out on countless other worlds. And who is to say they are not something other than human? I mean, God is not Human, though the part of the trinity for our planet that is physical is human, the same form as his “gardeners”.

I’m not saying I believe any of the above. I’m saying the bible leaves room for it. And as we learn of the vastness of the universe, it becomes worth considering. The writers of the old testament had no concept of a solar system, planet, sun or moon. The “heavens and the earth” are this giant spaceship we occupy along with its exterior life preserving atmosphere. They are not the entirety of creation, IMO, though Genesis 1:1 could be talking about the entirety. Or not.

Einstein existed. We have photographic and documentary proof.

UFOs exist. We have photographic and radar proof.

One doesn’t preclude the other.

Nonsense. We sense three variables of dimension space, linear, planar, and volume. With just one more variable anythingwith the fourth variable integrated into their physical make up would be invisible to us, unless it could pause one variable expression so it is 'in' our limits well. Is this possible? well, yes. The Bible relates more than two or three examples of this phenomenon.

God does miracles ... angels use technology genertated in their civilization; and there are good angels and bad anhels.

You mean there's nothing to learn about physics after Einstein...that he discovered all there is and all there could ever be?

Sounds reasonable to me.;-)
