How does Christianity view the theory of UFO?

Question

if there are other beings out there, are they created by God? or are they the more intelligent beings who created us.
I mean, the universe is near infinity, to exclude the possibility of the existance of other beings beside us is totally absurd, silly and ignorent. if the theory stands. What place then, for God? or is the God that all this while we worship to is what we call ALIEN? I know it sounds provocative and am not expecting any truth coz i believe nobody's qualified to give me an answer, nevertheless, tell me what do you think?

Answer 1

UFO's are when god plays frisbee dude.

Answer 2

As a christian, I don't really see what the difficulty is in believing in God and ET. Personally, I'm not a alien believer, but it has nothing to do with being christian. God never said He'd never created life anywhere else. There's a book by Taylor Caldwell, "Dialogues with the Devil" that deals with this issue. Yeah, it's a bit weird, but good at the same time.

There are christians that believe ET's are demons, there are some that think they're angels and there are some who think they're figments of the imagination, like me. So really, there's no set biblical UFO beliefs. The one thing all christians seem to have in common is that if there are ET's, whether demon, angel or just unknown ET's, God created them.

Answer 3

The UFO phenomenon has been receiving a great deal of press over the last few months. Politically correct newspapers, magazines, and network TV programs have begun reporting about UFO's - a subject which was taboo last year.

I am trying to remain unbiased about all of the information floating around the media, but one thing keeps coming up that is note worthy for those who are believers in God. There is a new religion that you have probably heard about called New Age. New Age was originally introduced to the general public as a worship of angels and has been popularized through the media.

I have not learned whether UFOs were originally part of the New Age religion or later introduced, but UFO worship is part of the New Age religion today. Now, using the word "worship" to describe the New Age relationship with UFOs may be debated as my opinion, but what would you call it? Furthermore, some people are interpreting some ancient religious paintings to depict "angels in space helmets" to prove that early Christians believed that UFO's were from heaven.

The purpose of this brief article is not to necessarily answer the question as to whether God is an extraterrestrial. But, I want to raise the conscience of religious people that there are a group of people (both believers and unbelievers in UFOs) espousing the position that UFO's are the backbone of the New Age religion. I was recently in the Thomas County library and saw the cover of an Omni magazine advertising an article on UFO's. To exemplify my point, read the following quote from Omni:

William Cooper, author of Behold the Pale Horse, is a former naval intelligence officer who, like several former military intelligence and defense research personnel, claims to have been shown documents relating to government contact with extraterrestrials. Originally he, too, took the documents at face value. Gradually, however, he came to the conclusion that the phenomenon is one great big hoax, "exclusively of human origin . . . designed to bring into being One World government." The religious overtones of the phenomenon are all part of the plot. One World government requires a New Age One World religion (Anthony Mansueto, "Visions of Cosmopolis," Omni, Oct. 1994, p. 65-61, 110).

Now for Christians holding fast to the word of God, we cannot believe that God is an extraterrestrial alien in an alien body and flying in an alien spaceship - God is Spirit (Matt. 3:16; John 4:23-24). Nor, may Christians worship angels as espoused by the New Age religion (Col. 2:18-23). The UFO - Angel Worship - New Age religion is gathering steam and we may have to deal with it as a prominent "false religion" in the relatively near future. And to do that, we need to begin teaching the truth so that no one is drawn away in ignorance. Metaphorically speaking, this UFO business may well be the new "satan" of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

Answer 4

UFOs are not a scientific theory but a speculation.
Christianity, and any other religion, have trouble coping with anything new, from fossils to biotechnology.
Real aliens will be another straw on their back.

Answer 5

It is not known if there is extra terrestrial sentience. Should contact ever be made and communication possible (not too likely) it would be very interesting to compare creation and deity myths. Of course, they may be more advanced than us and have long since dispensed with the creation and deity myths.

Answer 6

how do u know there are other planets? Certainly you have not been in out of space have you? you know it exists because somone told you correct? -just a point-

as far as these so called aliens are concerned, they look just like demons to me..and, I suspect that what they are.

I know God does exist, because reveals himself to people who know him..and who trust him.

so who is qualified to give any answer? as, I had pointed out, you have not been to out of space...but, yet you believe because someone told you.

Answer 7

Ok -We aliens are busted-God is really an alien doing dna experiments with monkey dna and alien dna.
