Anticipation of a forthcoming U.S. government “disclosure” on alien life is everywhere in the media.
President Trump has ordered a full release of files on UFOs. This week, FBI director Kash Patel said, “You’re going to start seeing those releases literally happening in the very near future. We just met on it.”
Where do language-based code, computer-like information processing, or machines come from? In our experience, they have only one known cause: intelligence. The existence of ET life wouldn’t prove unguided, purposeless naturalistic evolution—it would provide another example to doubt it.
Some, including Dawkins himself, have speculated that life on Earth could have been seeded here by aliens. But then, where did the aliens come from? Ultimately, life requires a transcendent intelligent designer.
And there’s something much bigger that aliens can’t explain.
Modern astrophysics shows the universe had a beginning—long ago it expanded from an infinitely small, infinitely dense “singularity.” If the universe began, then it requires a First Cause. But no ETs, inside the universe, could fill that role. The only way to explain the universe is to invoke a superpowerful, supernatural First Cause. We call that entity God.
There’s more that aliens cannot explain. The origin of the universe at the Big Bang was no random explosion but a carefully orchestrated expansion event. The laws of nature are finely tuned for life. If they were just slightly different, we could not exist.
Nobel Prize-winning physicist Roger Penrose calculated that a habitable universe would require that just one such parameter, the initial entropy at the Big Bang, be fine-tuned to one part in (get ready for a very, very large number) 10 to the power of 10 to the power of 123.
We lack the words to describe such an incredible mathematical degree of fine-tuning. This is why another Nobel Prize-winning physicist, Charles Townes, said “intelligent design … seems to be quite real,” observing that “if the laws of physics weren’t just the way they are, we couldn’t be here.”
Aliens would owe their existence to a designer outside the physical universe, just as we do.
Alien life, if it exists, wouldn’t overturn anything about God. He made the universe, and could have made other intelligences than ours—be they “extraterrestrials,” spiritual beings, or anything else.
Following a credible government disclosure, figuring out where ETs fit into that spectrum would be our next task. Whatever the answer, the science of alien life would only increase our wonder at God’s creation.

Nope
Not buying it.
In part, what is refuted or affirmed will depend on what they say.
Close Encounters are Real
But They Are Not Biological beings.
Not buying it.
Non-Human extraterrestrial intelligence, Intelligent Design? Or both?
No “aliens”.
Only God.
Demons and powers of the air.
Absolutely Postively Correct.
The Bible suggests This.
It’s becoming increasingly clear to many Christians what’s about to go down and “ aliens” are no longer even a possibility
I refuse to be one of those who “ believes what we see”
Test the spirits…
Remember “ Quix” who used to be on FR and people mocked him for saying what I just did?
I backed him up then and even more so now.
It’s coming.
The Bible talks about these spirits. There are angels that rule over all nations. We will judge these angels at the end time.
A book I read written back in 1993:
Synopsis
It was Carl Jung who first spoke of the UFO phenomenon as “a modern myth in the making,” and Joseph Campbell who insisted that the first function of myths is “opening mind and heart to the utter wonder of all being.” Now Keith Thompson makes it possible for us to share that sense of wonder as he explores the UFO against the timeless backdrop of visionary experience: angelic vision, near-death experiences, shamanic journeys, religious miracles, and folkloric encounters with fairies. In a brilliant stroke, Keith Thompson takes a subject usually confined to sensationalistic expose and reveals its surprising literary richness, intellectual energy, and symbolic depths. By offering a new, open-ended perspective which avoids the dogmatism of true believers and debunkers alike, Angels and Aliens invites readers to enter a fascinating world with profound implications for our understanding of the human spirit.
And one I’m fixing to read now:
Synopsis
Something ominous is coming upon the it is Satan’s final effort in the battle to destroy the image that man was created in, which has been raging since the beginning of time. If Satan can destroy the image, then he can avert his own destruction. The prophecy of Genesis 3:15 states the serpent will one day mix his seed with humanity as a counterfeit of the Messiah. Jesus told us that the last days will be like the days of Noah when fallen angels mixed their seed with humanity. In the Book of Daniel we read that “they” will again mingle with the seed of men. How so? Satan will use man’s desire to be his own god to deceive him into believing the ultimate lie – that his fallen messengers are both the creators and saviors of man. He will not do this openly but will deceive mankind through demons which are masquerading as ”aliens” who are spreading the message that the inhabitants of the earth can evolve to be like them and obtain transcendent powers. Finally, the seed of the Serpent will come; he will be a man who will be greater than his fellows, who will understand sinister schemes and shall rise up and become the Antichrist. That day of fulfillment is nearly upon us
👍🏻👍🏻
The nearest star Alpha Centauri (assuming it has a planet orbiting it with aliens inhabiting it) is over four light years from earth, are we to suppose some aliens from it, assuming they wanted to make a long four year trip, assuming they could travel at the speed of light, are making four year trips here just to buzz around and scare us? I don’t think so.
Aliens: Extraterrestrials, non-human biologicals, who are in reality demons masquerading as aliens. This will be a great deception for humanity to believe the lie, “They are our protectors.”
So far, the fastest any human has traveled in space was
aboard Apollo 10 in 1969 on its return flight to Earth.
Stafford, Cernan, and Young traveled at 24,816 MPH.
Nor I ... but I *do* believe there may be intelligent life indigenous to Earth living in the oceans and/or under the polar ice caps.
He was quixotic. I don’t remember him necessarily saying that.
He wasn’t a lunatic.
No.
Not a lunatic
He was nearly a prophet before his time.
