Aliens

[hXc]

What says God stopped with Humans? What says that the creation was solely Adam & Eve and that was it? The Bible isn't a good representation as to what is in the universe. It gives a fantastic representation of how we as Earth people got here. But that's what it covers. That's it. Earth. The creation of man. Man.

There's a lot of Christians who also don't believe dinosaurs ever existed. So for them to get upset over the suggestion of aliens definitely isn't far fetched. And to God, maybe the Earth is special. Maybe that was his priority or maybe he just liked Earth more, who knows? But once again, the creation story does refer to our creation as the creation of the Heavens and the Earth. Not any other creation.

The creation is directly stated as the heavens and the Earth. But that's the creation the Bible documents. Let's say that there are other colonies of species in our system or in a far off system. Maybe they have their own religious doctrine documenting how they were created. Maybe they have a completely separate belief altogether. There's endless possibilities as to how things could be.

I'm just glad I'm in the 34% and not the usual 10%.

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power.
The sun and you and me and all the stars that we can see
Are moving at a million miles a day
In an outer spiral arm, at forty thousand miles an hour,
Of the galaxy we call the 'Milky Way'.

Our galaxy itself contains a hundred billion stars.
It's a hundred thousand light years side to side.
It bulges in the middle, sixteen thousand light years thick,
But out by us, it's just three thousand light years wide.
We're thirty thousand light years from galactic central point.
We go 'round every two hundred million years,
And our galaxy is only one of millions of billions
In this amazing and expanding universe.

The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding
In all of the directions it can whizz
As fast as it can go, at the speed of light, you know,
Twelve million miles a minute, and that's the fastest speed there is.
So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure,
How amazingly unlikely is your birth,
And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space,
'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth.

That's what I was going to say!!!!

I wonder if any of the aliens have livers they want to donate............

What says God stopped with Humans?

Who says that humans didn't create god(s). It's a great way to cover the unexplainable. Bit like the toothfairy, really.
Visitors from elsewhere came here, did their stuff to create a sentient species, or gave a local existing likely recipient a helping hand, and racial memory provided the story of Adam & Eve. Obviously anything that could create such a pair would have to be all-powerful, hence god(s).
Now, of course, like an animal preserve, we are left alone to flourish or wither as circumstances or our nature dictates. One day, we may join the inter-galactic federation as a full member in our own right. In the meantime, we may be being 'observed' or occasionally visited. With the almost unimaginable distances of interstellar space, don't expect that those visits will be too close together.
Unless wormholes are true.

The 'Fermi paradox' seems counter intuitive when crunching numbers but worthy of discussion all the same.
