Space Aliens: Evolutionists’ Imaginary Friends
Those who believe life emerges from atoms pretend to talk to companions they don’t even know exist.
It’s common in atheist circles to mock believers in God as having an “imaginary friend” that gives them comfort like a cosmic teddy bear. Well, how about those who believe in billions of invisible friends? That’s the faith that keeps atheists willing to spend time and effort looking for them. It launches many a book and article about what these imaginary products of evolution might be like.

Thank you! (-:
I had a false labor last night and it settled down. Hoping for it to happen really soon!
Some Christians take the Bible so literally that they believe there is and has been only one Jesus.
So if there were beings from other planets, their first knowledge of Jesus would only be upon listening to our transmissions or communicating with us.
It seems unfair enough to some Christians that Jesus was most likely unknown to Native Americans, Chinese, Indians, etc. but to expect lizard people from Voltron to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior without hearing word one about him unless they happen to visit Earth, is unfairness to the Nth degree.
Some believe that if there are aliens that Jesus will have appeared on all of those planets as well. Others believe that for the Bible to be 100% accurate, then there can be no other sentient beings besides humans. They believe that if it ever appears that we are being visited by aliens, it will either be trickery on the part of the Illuminati or demons from hell impersonating aliens.
So yes, the possible existence of alien species light years away from Earth who most likely will never come in contact with us is very troubling to some Christians.
Yeah, when I want to clean the bathroom I toss a bomb in there.
An ordering agent is obviously needed.
Just remember, we lefties are in our right minds!
You forget that the witness of the creation is why men are without excuse.
Christians still go to pagan countries as missionaries and if we find other intelligent people in the universe then I have no doubt that Christians will reach out to them and that Wycliffe will get right to work translating the Bible into their language!

Quack quack. More junk science from people who believe all evolutionists are atheists and non’Christians who don’t believe in the Bible.
Yes some like C. S. Lewis posited multiple civilizations and multiple manifestations of Christ. Note extremely well that this would not be multiple Christs unless the Trinity Himself is relative. Go there if you want.
However the fault is placed with humanity in biblical theology. Not with humanity plus E.T.
C.S. Lewis addressed the issue of distant alien life forms accepting salvation through Christ. He raised the question, “What if they were an unfallen species already in complete conformance with Gods laws, would they have the desperate need for a Savior?
We have a hard enough task to remove the beam from our eyes much less speculating on the dust mote in others eyes light years distant. Draw water, chop wood...
More scoffing at a valid observation we should say.
Creationists don’t believe in space.
“You forget that the witness of the creation is why men are without excuse.”
Then perhaps you should be Amish and refuse to use technology that wasn’t specifically mentioned in Scripture.
You obviously accept that electricity works the way it does even though no understanding of it was mentioned in Scripture.
Your automobile uses gasoline and refined oil in an internal combustion engine even though the scientific, chemical, metallurgical, and engineering principles behind it all was never mentioned in the Bible.
Space travel is obviously possible and so is powered flight although just a few generations ago there were people who would have argued that it would be heresy to ‘intrude upon the heavens’.
Do you think people who travel by air and space commit heresy by intruding upon the heavens? I’m thinking you don’t.
And how many more things in your daily life...within arm’s reach even...were not mentioned in the Bible yet you accept them as normal even though your own ancestors would have burned you at the stake for using them?
Are you any less a Christian because your life is full of things your ancestors would have called “blacke magick”?
Of course not.
In the end then all the rest of this is just noise that tries to come between you and Jesus.
I give Lewis credit for imagination but not for what he didn’t do which was to explain how this unfallen race happens to be sitting with the stars about to fall on its head. It would need a reason.
Bible wins here.
Sorry you are confusing positive with negative and your non sequiturs are so funny.
Yep, that deafening silence from the “billions and billions” of star systems supposedly inhabited by intelligent life speaks volumes about evolution. It should be becoming painfully obvious to all willing to see that at least intelligent life is so rare that the only place we have proof of it is here on earth.
And since evolutionists believe that life MUST evolve into more and more complex creatures, this calls into question whether there’s even microscopic life anywhere else, since nothing anywhere else has evolved to the point of trying to communicate with us.
Reasonably all these supposed intelligent creatures would be in various stages of development, such that even if they were thousands or millions of light years away, the oldest of them should be communicating with us. But they’re not. I’d say all we hear are crickets, but well...
“Sorry you are confusing positive with negative and your non sequiturs are so funny.”
Oh’m just trying to overcome your resistance.
They always make themselves into gods. And when they do that, it is only New Age religion—One Mind—one way to “think” which is no thinking and reducing man to animal only.
No free will, no agency—a total destruction of individualism. Individualism is the basis of our Constitution and Natural Rights from God only: that each and every person (even unborn) have dignity and worth and can never be used in a degrading evil way, not even self, since Natural Rights are unalienable and can’t be taken or given away.
But the Left DID take our Natural Rights from God away and we need to restore our Constitution and that concept of God in children again (Christianity is the most rational, just, free worldview in history of mankind—proven by history).
When making themselves into gods, they determine EVERY thing you can think and “know”—it is why these evil sodomite Marxists took over our skools and textbooks and publishing agencies. Controlling Words and Language will force a perception (belief) on the masses.
We need free press, only parental control over the education of our own children, and a return to our Constitution, and real life Natural human interactions which create virtue formation in children. We need a true “Justice” (virtue) system which can only promote “public virtue” at all times—truth and freedom—, where our Natural rights only come from God (Higher Laws—not man-made up irrational “laws”).
God-Given Natural Rights (Christian worldview of individualism and free will) predate all governments/(people/monarchs/oligarchy/black robes). With the Federal Reserve and Marxist income tax and Dept of “edukation” we destroyed our Constitution and allowed monopolies over our “free” (lol) press and “education” system so that our own children can be destroyed and corrupted and made into useful idiots and jackboots for the Leftists (Deep State).
“And since evolutionists believe that life MUST evolve into more and more complex creatures”
That’s not true. Evolutionists assert adaptation of species. If a species is already adapted to its environment then it gets no advantage from becoming more complex.
Mushrooms do just fine as mushrooms. Much the same as many Democrats do just fine sitting in the dark, watching TV, and hearing bullsh** from CNN.
They’re well suited to their environment and their descendants are doomed to do the same.
Both old and young earth creation theorists robustly uphold the earth as special.
In my personal meditation it has seemed YEC and OEC could be reconciled through general relativity. Heaven’s calendar would not be equivalent to earth’s. This goes beyond day-age theory to a heavenly calendar. But I don’t insist on it; the bible hints but does not say it flat out.
