Ditto that!! If there were aliens what the heck difference would that make anyway? Would not an alien be a created being? I don't get this train of thought at all. It's like, oh no, we found a new species, that must mean, there isn't any God.

Looks like the whole point is, let's try everything to discredit the Christian faith and Jesus. Funny, you never see them going after Buddha, Allah, the 300 million or so Hindu gods, ect. just the God of the bible and Jesus. When people curse it's always using God's name, Jesus, Christ. You never hear anyone say Buddha d*mn.

Even if intelligent life exists elsewhere, God seems to have designed the universe to make it impossible for us to interact with them in any way. Even in any way we can imagine. (true we can imagine folding time/space but we can't imagine how to generate the vast energy required to do it).

I find that significant.

Seems like if they did the math they’d realize the chances of us encountering aliens is pretty darn slim, even if they existed.

The universe is between 12-14 billion years old. Most of our ‘technology’ has been developed in the last 200-300 years. Our space travel is only around 60 years old.

How long can any civilization last before it implodes in some way? Maybe a couple thousand years??

For an alien civilization to exist, develop space travel, develop interstellar travel, and not kill themselves off and happen to stop by within the next 20 years (out of 14 Billion) seems kind iffy.
