Can I ask you something ?
What if (If?) there was a prior civilization on Mars, and
it was destroyed by God . How would it effect
people thinking, just wondering ?
Thank You

the first question to ask is, 'how does this affect my salvation?' - whether there is life or was life or will be life anywhere but earth is up to God... the Bible never says that life is restricted to the earth, but by the same token our concern is how we treat and serve the other people on earth and there is no reason to treat martians any differently, even if they DO mean us harm ... i see by your reference to gen 6 that you might be concerned about the 'sons of God' who came to marry the women on Earth. The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod recognizes the 'sons of God' as leaders/kings (or even religious leaders) ...anyway, perhaps God destroyed life on Mars and sent martian survivors to Earth... He did the same thing here on earth re:Noah ... hope this helps
