If aliens--spaceships and all--landed and made it clear to the world that they unmistakably exist, would this challenge your religious beliefs? Can you fit the existence of extraterrestrial life with your current religious worldview? What would change, if anything?

it would not effect my faith at all..... the Lord never told us this world was the only place that life existed.
John 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, [and] one shepherd.
Is one example of what i mean.... we in our self importance like to believe he was talking about other people here.... on this planet .... but he dosnt say that.... he simply said they are not of this fold.
I dont know that there is life anywhere else.... nor do i know that there isnt... my faith is in him either way.... if he created us here.... nothing stopping him from creating them there.... we will know the answers one day when we are with him... till then ... i only worry about MY walk with him.
God bless you :)

The Bible does not say that God did not create life on other worlds... so... if it were proven that there was life outside of this little planet, it wouldn't change my perspective at all... In fact, I have a perfectly plausible explanation for why life elsewhere would not be mentioned in the Bible...
Think about what a bang-up job we've done with this planet... pollution, war, genocide, nuclear waste... we were given a paradise and we've all but obliterated it... why would he tell us about anoter world we could go mess up???

I know my god is Lord of all he created, He even made aliens.
Ray Bradbury once wrote a short story about Humans went to a planet and found Jesus was there 10 years ago. Then at the next planet only 5 years before. The story was about the crew, should they pursue jesus, or hang and watch the book of Acts unfold.

sure why not. we would be vain to think that we are all god created.. something else to think about most people think of angels doing things but they forget demons can take on any form and do any thing they want on this earth who's to say that all these alien abductions weren't some demons trying to scare us. i think if they were real aliens they would be smarter then we have described and this is only my belief but i believe the gods in mythology realy existed either they were angels or even fallen angels why else would he need to say put no other gods befor me. you just have to take history and lengends and the bible and put it all together.

Due to the fact I already have undeniable proof 'for myself' no....my religious beliefs remain as it includes 'them' as we all love the same God Source.. Our Source is also their source. We are the same yet different. We are not as highly evolved spiritually as they are, but they are helping those of us today through channelings and the information given can not be stated that it came from ourselves. The use of words and loving energy Ptah omits and blends with ours is to share knowledge only. The use of words Archangel Michael shares to help us to evolve spiritually. AAMichael and Ptah know each other very very well.
Nothing would change if they introduced themselves to us as their realm is in between other realms. There energy does and will not co-exist with us in our 3rd dimentional reality only the 4th/5th dimensions. We can meet them there through channelling and deep meditation. Some of us leave our bodies at night in our astral form and perform planetary healings and spiritual healings.
Those that have manifested in earlier times with crashes have only proved the fear of man and what man will do with that fear. Hence, no more crashes you will not see, no not ever. They have 'been there' and done that with us.
They are happy to communicate with anyone whom wishes to help heal self and help heal the mess this planet has gotten itself into with the occupants on her. They love us 'all' very much and see us in our pure forms, not our human ones. We are one will all that is and ever will be. Humans are not the only species within Gods grand plan of the Universe.
To think otherwise is to remain ignorant and in denial. So be it.
love, light n laughter always!

I can't imagine why other life forms would change my spiritual beliefs. Why put God in some sort of box that says we earthly humans are the only way to be. Share the joy!

contained in the Bible, Elijah stated the unseen international and defined it to us as chariots of fireplace and angels waiting to guard Elijah. Elisha stated Elijah taken up in a chariot of fireplace. The unseen international is the angelic international no matter if or not that's fallen angels or heavenly angels. i trust the existence of extraterrestrial beings and UFOs are none except fallen angels growing take position or seen as sin will boost in our international. higher sin is a real away invitation to devil and the demonic or fallen angels. there's a gloomy stress of demonic angels or evil spirits which have come to u.s.. The sins of our Presidents have invited them. even as our leaders do no longer uphold righteousness, then our united states of america is weakened. some thing contained in the realm of Babylon is demonic. that's devil's section the position all of his ungodly fake doctrines began. Our immigrants convey with them their evil spirits who incredibly occupy new territory. Our immigrants are spreading fake faith right into a Christian united states of america. The Bible tells us what's going to ensue even as this occurs. The UN has been an abomination to u.s..

It would challenge my beliefs about many things. But not likely about religion unless they brought tangible undeniable proof of God(s)
With our luck they would be missionaries, let us just hope they are edible!

No not at all and in some ways I think it would make my beliefs stronger. God created all things in, on, and above the Earth and all Gods creations are wonderious even E.T.

this wouldn't change a single thing about my religion. In fact, I think there are likely other lifeforms out there. But if there was or if there wasn't, I can't see what practical effect this would have on my religion
