    I am not convinced until someone shows me some actual evidence.

    Regardless, I am interested to see how the religious zealots will try to explain aliens when “god created man in his likeness”. Oh yeah, did he create aliens in his likeness too? Or will they come up with another “immaculate conception by a ghost”-like crazy explanation noone has every heard about?

      I’ve actually heard religious people talk about the idea of aliens.

      Essentially their conclusion was that the bible doesn’t rule out aliens because it doesn’t say God didn’t make other planets with life.

          The Vatican is pretty pro science. It’s a lot of the other Christian faiths that are overly strict with their interpretation of the bible.

        Yeah, nothing in the Bible says there can’t be aliens. It doesn’t really change anything. For the Christians who deny the possibility of aliens, they probably just have a superiority complex, as do many who claim to know more than they do or who claim their theories on origin of life are definitive. Nothing new with humanity.

        The idea of extraterrestrial life has been commonplace since the 1600s. Since then, there’s been many waves of belief-disbelief in extraterrestrial life.

        This won’t be anything new for Christianity to ponder, and they’ll have plenty of theological material to fall back on.

      Depends on what that “likeness” is. What if “God created both man and alien to be bloodthirsty creatures to fight each other”… and the winner gets to fight God live on GodTV. In the meantime, tune in to PlanetaryWars channel this weekend to see a whole civilization annihilate itself!

      Maybe by likeness it means sentience, not physical appearance.
