Did God make other saceint life in the Cosmos? (other than human or angles)

The interbreeding would be an impossibility. It's clear God created only one species in His image, and that's man. "Intelligent" life doesn't equate to being made in God's image.

 

From what I know of Vulcans (and I am a Star Trek fan), they are knowledgable of good and evil too. And wasn't that the tree Eve and Adam took the fruit from? I would think God's plan for all beings with that knowledge would be the same - salvation though Christ. Maybe Christ shed His blood on every planet that has beings with the knowledge of good and evil at the same time. God can do anything, you know.

 

This discussion has just become absolutely foolish. Christ died only for fallen man. He did not die for Angels, fallen or otherwise, PERIOD!!!!!

 

WebDog summed it up very well in his last post.

 

One of my later posts;

The discovery of intelligent alien life should not shake the faith of any born again believer in Christ. I can't help but feel that if in our future, an intelligent alien is introduced to mankind, it will be the biggest hoax ever perpetrated upon humanity sense Satan deceived Eve.

 

Look, nothing physical can travel faster than the speed of light (186,000 miles per second). The miles traveled in one year at the speed of light is. 5,865,696,000,000 (trillion) miles in one year.

• 186,000 miles x 60 seconds = 11,116,000 (million) miles in one minute.
  
• 11,116,000 miles x 60 minutes = 669,600,000 (million) miles in one hour.
  
• 669,600,000 miles x 24 hours = 16,070,400,000 (billion) miles in one day.
  
• 16,070,400,000 miles x 365 days = 5,865,696,000,000 (trillion) miles in one year.

Our nearest star is 5 light years away. (29,328,480,000,000 trillion miles) The likelihood of any physical race, regardless of intelligence, making that trip even as close as Alpha-Centari (5 light years) is very unlikely. Only a supernatural being can travel such distance.

As such I conclude that any introduction to an alien species will be a great lie. Why that in and of itself brings this verse to mind.

 

The gravitational forces within a "wormhole" would be so great that anything made by man or even an alien race would be crushed down to atomic sizes. Now please don't give me the hypothetical "anti-gravity, force field"

 

Maybe the space aliens are actually time travelers.

 

A thought came to mind as I continued to think on these things. Wouldn't it be wrong of God to destroy any such life when He purges Heaven and Earth with fire?

If there is life (like us) out there they might be left hanging.
IMO, there isn't anyone out there and if there is, God has never been one to take an innocent life. He even spared the animals when He destroyed the Earth by water. However, He just might give them an ark that is fire proof. Maybe there will be a Noah of their society that will build a star ship with "shields". Yet God says the elements will melt. Anything that is made will breakdown at the atomic level.

 

Except the Bible is quite clear that Jesus died once for all, and that he does not die again for sins.

 

Never? 'They' haven't grasped that yet?

 

I find it highly improbable that earth is the only place harboring life. I also am not expecting any ETs to visit, given the expansiveness of the cosmos.

 

To say you find it "highly improbable that earth is the only place harboring life" indicates you are basing this on actual figures of "educated guesses," which I presume would be the probability of life arising compared with the number of stars in the universe, the number of these stars which have planets/satellites in a habitable zone (or possibly other life-supporting bodies) with an atomosphere and/or some long-lasting means of nourishment, and finally how long life lasts on bodies on which it does arise.

What are some of the figures you are using? ... Or, was that more of a "It just seems to me....." type of statement?

 

A little of both, actually. We also know that organic molecules tend to form spontaneously in certain environments, and while that doesn't equate to life, it seems like a big waste to have such a big universe and for nobody to be home. Kind of like God building a huge subdivision with lots of houses, and only selling one for someone to call home, leaving the others vacant.

 

Unfortunately, apparently my humorous post of the "Star-Trek" crowd in the church service, with "Pastor Worf" pounding away on Odo, as the pulpit, Spock, Counselor Troi, Captains Kirk, Picard, Janeway, et al. has been permanently deleted from even the archives of the BB. :tear:
