If you believe in god dont you have to believe in aliens?

Question

I ask this because this one simple thing. Most people that believe in god say he created the universe. If this is so that means he created everything in the world. Every galaxy every plant...etc

So in my logic if you think all of that then why would he/she/it only create one type of life form...only one planet with anyone living on it...so many thing that we will never reach.

Woah, woah, woah who ever said aliens have to be green people that can fly? I sure didnt...

I use aliens as people use UFO. A ufo does not mean a alient vessel just something we can not identify.

So let me change it up some so people can understand. By alien I mean what if there is another planet in another galaxy that only has humans on it just like earth? To use they are still aliens because we are not them and they are not us. So why do almost all the people that believe in god think we are the only people here? Even if you dont believe in god it is proven that there is more then our galaxy and I think it would take a pretty ignorant person to assume we are the only living things anywhere...

Answer 1

i believe srek or pinguins and frogs

Answer 2

I agree there is other life form not of the Earth. Actually two different ones. They're called Angels and Demons. You speak as if the universe is completely endless, and that is where you are incorrect. The universe is a paradox... For example if you take a strip of paper, twist it, and tape it together, you'd notice it only has one end to it. That is how the universe is built. You allegedly seem like an atheist, and I'm sorry if I insulted you if you aren't. The Bible says that the god of the world, who we call the Devil, will blind the minds of the unbelievers, so anyone who doesn't believe in The Lord will be blinded. To most believers, aliens are seen as Demons who are taking the form of extraterrestrials, and I'm not saying that they are little green men, they may even take the forms of "humanoid" aliens who are driving spacecraft, maybe even advanced space rockets and not flying saucers. But my point is, it's very easy for Christians to believe in God and not aliens.

Answer 3

God is the name we used to refer .Aliens is the same.God and Aliens are our words and what we know.If God create this world who create God world?If God is so powerful to create everything ,why create a human that is against him?If he create this world ,why did not he changed it right after he found out that Adam and Eve betray him?Why do Christian had different groups and others religion in this world?Who created Satan?If Satan is the same as God then there must be others God .If God bet with Satan ,why get human into all this mass?Ask more and if you can answer them ? You are good .May God Bless You .

Answer 4

A good question to think about. If you believe in the Bible, then it is shown that humans are superior over the planet and we were specifically created for this purpose and to be intimate with God... so on and so forth. Thus, it wouldn't make sense to create aliens (not excluding the possibility).

Here's the real catcher, though. Aren't the Angels aliens? I mean when you think about it, they were created before us and are different sort of spiritual creatures... I suppose it depends on what you consider an alien to be. But interesting.

Answer 5

The brief answer is: You are right! God created many worlds; all the inhabitants of all those worlds are God's children, as you and I are. Because God is our Father, He loves us!


The same answer, long version:

A.)"The philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, in his "Essay on the Christian System," said that the two fatal flaws of Christianity were (1) denying spirit and mind to any other creatures but ourselves (which both fundamentalists and Darwinists do) and (2) allowing life to no other world but our own."

Schopenhauer spoke of Christianity as handed down through the ages. Think about the game where everyone sits in a circle, then you start by whispering a message to your neighbor, he whispers it to the next, and by the time it gets around the circle, what happens? The message has changed, sometime quite a bit - we are very blessed that as much of the Gospel message made it down through the past 2000 years as did.

Yes, some things, important things, were lost - but the Savior restored his original Church again, with modern day apostles and prophets like in Bible times - this process began in about 1820. Modern day prophets of God have testified that the Savior lives, (it's what prophets mostly do) and taught that he created worlds (plural), as follows:

B.)
23 "For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father--"
24 "That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God."
Doctrine and Covenants, Section 76:23-24

This is very similar to John, Chapter 1:1-3, 14.

Both John (scripture from long ago) and D&C 76:23-24 (modern day scripture) above, teach that the Savior made the earth, under the direction of God - but, in the Doctrine and Covenants above, it says "worlds" (plural!) and "inhabitants thereof".

So, many worlds have been created, and the inhabitants thereof are sons and daughters of God, even as we are (our spirits, within us, are the sons and daughters of God).

Hope that helps -
Take care!

P.S. Scripture is always written by God's prophets and apostles in any age, and is truth - and we can find out if something is true by studying it, then asking God in prayer if it is true. Cool, huh?

Answer 6

I am of The True Christian Faith... I know with absolute certainty that God IS... and that He is The Creator of all that man knows and can ever know.... I do not know with certainty of other life forms in the universe... but I am of the belief that God has planted a lot of seeds around the universe... what has taken root I do not know... but I hope to find out one day... Maybe God will let me off work up in Heaven now and then and I will be able to go exploring... no reason to not believe that there are millions of planets out there with some form of civiliztion on them... I know what God has given mankind on this planet... wonder what he has given others out there

Answer 7

The second heaven is occupied by Satan, fallen angels and demons - evil spirits - familiar spirits. This is a very organized army with a specific purpose for being. These aliens or devils or demons walk to and fro throughout the earth as they wish. They come from the second heaven, through our heaven/sky and down on earth often. The Bible tells us Satan rules the earth at this particular time, but not always, because Christ is coming soon.

Answer 8

I believe there is something else out there. At least its fun to imagine. I am a firm believer in God also. I think that we dont know the whole story, whether it be the whole story of God, the begining, or Jesus. We werent meant to know, and thats what is so mystical about it. I also think as humans we are a selfish breed so its natural for many to not beileve there is something else out there.

Answer 9

My pastor says that in heaven he is going wind-surfing on the planet "Glaxiflorin"( a yet undiscovered planet in some far off galaxy)
I personally believe God did that to show His Majesty; what balance!what precision!

Answer 10

I have no problem with the concept of aliens. I just don't believe (as some do) that they are the source of our belief in God. Before Jesus the Christ assended into heaven, He said He had other flocks to attend to. Who is to say they had to be on this planet? YBIC

Answer 11

It would be a horrible waste of space if there wasn't more life out there than on this miserable planet. God is not wasteful. The Book of Job in the Bible indicates that there are other places to be from See Job 1:6, 7
When Christ cried out, "It is finished," the unfallen worlds were made secure. For them the battle was fought and the victory won. Henceforth Satan had no place in the affections of the universe.--RH March 12, 1901. {TA 204.1}

The holy angels were horror-stricken that one of their number could fall so far as to be capable of such cruelty as had been manifested toward the Son of God on Calvary. Every sentiment of pity and sympathy which they had ever felt for Satan in his exile was quenched in their hearts.--ST Sept. 23, 1889. {TA 204.2}

It was not the hand of the priest that rent from top to bottom the gorgeous veil that divided the holy from the most holy place. It was the hand of God. When Christ cried out, "It is finished," the Holy Watcher that was an unseen guest at Belshazzar's feast pronounced the Jewish nation to be a nation unchurched. The same hand that traced on the wall the characters that recorded Belshazzar's doom and the end of the Babylonian kingdom, rent the veil of the temple from top to bottom.--5BC 1109. {TA 204.3}

They [the Jewish leaders] took His body down, and laid it in Joseph's new tomb, and rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulcher, stating as their reasons for so doing that His disciples would come and steal Him away by night. Evil angels exulted around that sepulcher, because they thought that Christ had been overcome. A body of Roman soldiers had been stationed to guard the tomb, and the greatest precautions had been exercised by the Jews to make their triumph complete. But heavenly angels were guarding the place where their beloved Commander slept.--RH Oct. 9, 1888. {TA 204.4}

Not until the death of Christ was the character of Satan clearly revealed to the angels or to the unfallen worlds. Then the prevarications and accusations of him who had once been an exalted angel were seen in their true light.--ST Aug. 27, 1902. {TA 205.1}

The death of Christ upon the cross made sure the destruction of him who has the power of death, who was the originator of sin. When Satan is destroyed, there will be none to tempt to evil; the atonement will never need to be repeated; and there will be no danger of another rebellion in the universe of God. That which alone can effectually restrain from sin in this world of darkness, will prevent sin in heaven. {TA 205.2}

The significance of the death of Christ will be seen by saints and angels. Fallen men could not have a home in the paradise of God without the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. . . . The angels ascribe honor and glory to Christ, for even they are not secure except by looking to the sufferings of the Son of God. It is through the efficacy of the cross that the angels of heaven are guarded from apostasy. Without the cross they would be no more secure against evil than were the angels before the fall of Satan. Angelic perfection failed in heaven. Human perfection failed in Eden. . . . The plan of salvation, making manifest the justice and love of God, provides an eternal safeguard against defection in unfallen worlds. . . . The death of Christ on the cross of Calvary is our only hope in this world, and it will be our theme in the world to come.--
