“If any Christians think there are aliens from different planets, they’re not Christians. There are demons all around us, though.”
Really? How do you judge any Christian that believes it is highly unlikely that Homo Sapiens is the only intelligent life?
There is not a single word in the Holy Bible that states that Homo Sapiens are the only intelligent, self-aware beings God ever created.
The universe God Almighty created is vast, beyond human comprehension. Galaxy upon galaxy. Trillions upon trillions of planets.
Why?
Please explain with an iota of logic why the need for such a vast, incomprehensible universe only to populate a single small planet in a small solar system in a vast galaxy. One solar system among trillions and one galaxy among so very many.
Only an arrogant, ignorant person would assume the Lord God, the Creator of all things created all this and only populated our tiny little rock with his chosen ones. And, all else He created is barren.
True, also what Christians might call angels could appear to be aliens from another planet too. It’s not a test of faith.
As to the main topic, if no aliens or their technology have visited earth, then what will they eventually uncover at Skinwalker Ranch where some mysterious object appears to be buried under a mesa near the ranch?
This is a subject where a negative (there are probably no aliens) is inconclusive and a positive (here’s an alien) is conclusive, much like saying Biden could be an agent of a foreign government, saying he “probably” isn’t is inconclusive but proving he is (caught in the act) would be conclusive.
It’s a little hard to reconcile a universe with galaxies so far away that light from them has taken 14 billion years to reach us with a universe that was created in 7 days about 6 thousand years ago. If someone considers only those who believe in a literal interpretation of Genesis to be true Christians then it is easy to understand how that person could say that any potential alien must be a misidentified biblical creature instead.
I have Christian friends when explain all this by proposing that God could have created an ‘in progress’ universe 6 thousand years ago. After all, an all powerful and all knowing God could do anything, and who are we to question His motivations. But I’ve never felt that such an explanation satisfies even those making it.
