I will tell you why. Searching for "life on other planets" is another attempt by science to undermime religion and push evolution. How many billions or trilions have been spent to convince people not to believe the Bible?

That might be. However, it appears that Christians will have no problem at all with the existence of life on other planets. Those who are attempting to deconstruct religion will take it as a victory, but they don't have a clue now and still won't then.

LOL... sure. You're kidding, right?

Or maybe some people are interested in looking for life because it might be there. Maybe that's it.

Be careful. Some day, they might find life on another planet. If people of faith have made a big stink about how the lack of ET life supports our special place in the Lord's heart, there will be a conclusion drawn on the part of many - well, now's there's some ET life, faith must be wrong. This is similar to why YEC views are dangerous - if it's either Creationism/God or Evolution/atheism, this pushes science-minded people away from faith for no real reason.

Show me where the Bible says God didn't put life anywhere but earth. It doesn't say he did, but it doesn't say he didn't, either.

I'm curious here. How does life on other planets undermine our religion? I'm a conservative Christian and I don't see why there couldn't be life on other planets.

"I will tell you why. Searching for "life on other planets" is another attempt by science to undermime religion"


That is a dangerous position to take. If that's the case, will you stop believing when the first ET life form is found? Is your faith that weak?

"and push evolution."

How does finding ET life have anything to do with biogenesis?


"How many billions or trilions have been spent to convince people not to believe the Bible?"


I don't know, how many? And can you describe what kinds of activities you will categorize as "convincing people not to believe in the Bible?"

Which Bible do you mean, anyway? If you're a Christian, then perhaps my parents spent money when I was a child that taught me not to believe in your Bible, depending on your POV. I follow the Torah. I don't see how it's in any way incompatible with finding bacteria on Mars, either.

Try to tell that to the Affiliation of Christian Geologists!

Like chemistry undermined alchemy; like psychology undermined possession; like vaccinations undermine God's plans for early death. It's a conspiracy I tell ya!

Where in the Bible does it say that the Earth is the only place in the universe that God created life? Why would finding life on Mars automatically mean that people shouldn't believe the Bible?

Uh ... since God created everything including the 'stuff' that resulted in the Big Bang, why couldn't there be life everywhere in HIS universe??

How would a sterile wet Mars undermine religion any more than a sterile dry Mars?

Granted creationists spend loads of money arguing that you have to accede to multiple scientific stupidities if you accept the Bible as scripture, but I doubt it's into the trillions.

So G_D couldn't have blessed other planets in the vast universe with life?

Seems like an aweful waste of real estate to me.
