Simply put, don't you think if there was life on other planets out there, it would be mentioned in Genesis! LOL. It would be a pretty big deal, right?

Yeah, well, Genesis somehow missed that whole "Age of the Dinosaurs" thing, which was kind of a big deal for a hundred million years or so.

Not really. Genesis is about people, after all, not lizards and slime-molds and trilobites and all the rest that had come before.

Genesis did do a pretty good job of foreshadowing the Big Bang theory, considering it was written and handed down by generations of shepherds and such. Ditto Revelation and its depiction of what, to my eye, seems to be nuclear war over islamofascism:

And I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and over the number of his name. (Rev. 15:2)

And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony for Jesus and because of the word of God. (Rev. 20:4)
