The more we learn about the earth the longer the list of things we realize had to be JUST RIGHT for this planet to support human life.

No person who actually believes in God would be looking for little green men. They don't exist. If you want to find some aliens patrol the border with Mexico.

There's no mention of potatoes, either. Lost your faith, yet?

I agree with this possibility but those are not aliens.

But to say that 25 years will reveal the truth shows a little too much trust in one's own intellect. They don't know, and their statistics involve assumptions.

So, under your philosophy, since the bible doesn't mention koala bears, they must not exist.

These atheists can look all they want but they are going to find any UFOs. They don't exist.

Who are you to decree to Almighty G-D what He may and may not do?!?!

Oh, BTW, just pretentious? I'll throw in hyper-arrogant, deluded, closed-minded, dogmatic, self-righteous, lordly, overbearing, supercilious, and so on.

Is that a scientific opinion?

And God created the universe just for you to display your ignorance....

Amazingly, this Bubbah just got done telling G-D that he may not create any races but our own!!!

Care to prove that? (yes, I know it's rather hard to prove a negative) Or, more interestingly, please prove that God exists. Hey, someone had to say it...

The planet Pluto isn't mentioned in the Bible either. The same thing applies to shifting techtonic plates, antibiotics, single-celled organisms, radio waves, asteroids, fusion reactions, shall I go on? No, I shan't. Just because something isn't in the Bible doesn't mean it doesn't exist, obviously.

God left us mysteries to figure out, gifts in the universe to uncover. Otherwise, we'd be his person electric-train set, and I don't imagine that is what he wants.
