[Alter Kaker]

God did indeed create life in a habitable place, the earth. But on other planets? No reason from the Scriptures to think so, so whether creationists would spend billions of dollars hunting for life on a planet that has given no evidence for life in its past, distant or otherwise, is questionable, to say the least. I won’t speak all creationists.

So everything that exists is in the Bible? Pulsars are in the Bible? H1N1 swine flu is in the Bible? Quantum mechanics are in the Bible?

And when we read "In the beginning God created the heaven and the [planet] earth" did God just forget to mention the billions of other planets He created (hundreds of whom we have observed)?

Your theology is worse than your science. When you read the Bible, which you have hopefully read, did you make it all the way to Job? You should know the dangers of thinking you understand God.

Wow...and just think of all the demands from liberals to keep religion out of science...talk about a post dripping with irony!

As if that's not enough, liberals demanding that they and they alone know the science as no one else is capable, then they turn right around and pretend to be the experts on what it is they so desperately demand to keep out of the discussion in the first place!

You'd think when they were more than thoroughly educated that they weren't given the keys to science, it would be understood they didn't have them to religion either!

See my tagline for further assitance!

“heavens” as the universe would include pulsars, planets, etc., and that is how the term is used in the first few verses of Genesis.

Quantum mechanics is a theoretical explanation for some physical phenomena on very small scales. To the degree that the descriptions are correct they would be part of creation.
Just like gravity.
To the best of my knowledge swine flu was not in existence when the Bible was written any more than television was so it wouldn't be “In the Bible” though illnesses, major and minor, are often mentioned.

“So everything that exists is in the Bible?”

If you're going to expound on God's creation the Bible is the source of information not your speculations.

Job said, “Hear, please, and I myself shall speak, I shall question you, and you inform me” (Job 42:4)
