Aliens, God and Me:)

I do not believe there is life on other planets because one, there is no recognition in the bible that states there is life outside of earth. I consider the term “life” to be a human being that has a soul. Organisms I do take into consideration, and I believe they can be found on other planets, but I do not consider them as life. The bible known as the book of life; accounts historical events, prophecies of the future, fulfillment of those prophecies, and instruction on how to live as Jesus lived. One very important detail God tells us about is his judgment. The Old Testament talks about God judging people in the world. God does not mention his judgment coming to the beings from another planet, and God does not speak of life outside of earth. There are many different people groups accounted for all throughout the bible, but “Mars” people so to speak, has not been recorded. Believing in aliens takes a lot of faith. The bible declares that the only person you are to have faith in is God, his son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.

Another reason I don’t believe there is life on other planets is because of unsubstantial evidence. In terms of science evidence is the foundation of a belief. From my research, I have not found any valid facts to convince me there is life outside of earth. This is one website I looked at; http://library.thinkquest.org/21008/data/alien/life.htm had a title “Blast off into Space” and it talked about intelligent radio waves that might have possibly come from an intelligent being in outer space. The core support of the information presented on this site was a ticking sound a radio wave. I will need to see life from other planets in order to believe it. Until there is scientific evidence that proves “intelligent” beings exists, I can only claim that organisms exist outside the earth’s orbit and “life” does not.

Lastly, my troubling thought is this: God has given us advanced technology that has enabled us to create satellites, send astronauts into outer space, orbit around mars, and over the years there has not been any convincing data of life outside earth. There has been reports of Unknown Flying Objects (UFOs), but can you honestly call what you could not see and identify in the sky, and name it as Alien? There are airplanes, birds of all shapes and sizes, and military aircraft that can all be misread as UFO’s. The word alien has a proper use and definition: someone who is born or belongs to another country that has not required citizenship by naturalization. Another use of alien is someone that is estranged or excluded. Where did our vision of black eyes, big head, and green skin figure come from? America has made up figures and holidays that have no truth or validity such as: the Easter, the Easter bunny, Santa, reindeers that fly, the tooth fairy, and Halloween. I believe UFO’s fall into the same category as listed above. Thank goodness we don’t have a holiday centered on a green, square headed, funny eyed man!
