Is there any religious reference to the existence of extra-terrestrial life ?

Question

Do any of the three holy books talk about the possible existence of extra-terrestrials ?

Answer 1

Just angels. It does talk about "whirlwinds" which some say are referencing UFO's but I don't buy into that.

Answer 2

I think it would have to change EVERYONE'S religious beliefs, obviously, as there is no mention of other worlds being created in any of the major myths of the major religions. It doesn't say "God created the many earths". Discovery of extra terrestrial life is going to be a big problem for religion, when it happens, if it ever happens.

Answer 3

I am agree with you, I am sure that what appears in the holy books is something relating to extraterrestrials,you can find in it that the earth is an esphere so how can be posible if it was discovered around 1492!! and the only other way to know it is from the outer space.
On the other hand you can read that god came down to talk with Moises at the Sinai mount and the Bible said that god came down as the shape of a cloud and with a strong sound as a thunder , as far as I know the only thing that could come down from the sky with the sound as a thunder is a kind of flying machine like an airplane or spaceship but the airplanes were created by humans in 1903, the shape of a cloud could be a kinf of camouflage and a lot of people who saw OVNIS after that they had the face burned like sun burn, and that is the same thing that happen to Moises so God told him to put a special protection for that and it is in the Bible.
Now, if we are at that time ,thousand of years ago and we can travel in time and we land in the midle of a big civilitation with a helicopter you can be sure that the people that see you coming from the sky in that kind of strange machine will believed that you are God, and we are talking about only a helicopter not a flying soucer!!
Of course how the people at that time can explane something like that if they didn´t have any idea about any tecnology. If you see a huge square of the size of an airplane in the sky flying how can you explane in a book what is that?? I put this example because the square can not fly and must be strange to see something like that with the size of an airplane flying.On the other hand the humans we are still trying to find out where are we from and since we are on the earth we where looking to the sky ,it look like something is telling us that our home is not here.
On top of this, if the extraterrestrials come here and they put one space ship on each big city of this planet you can be sure that the world will be devided in Before and After the Extraterrestials , same as Before and After J.C.
Of course if Jesus was the son of god it means that he was an extraterrestrial also.
And there are a lot of things more in the Holy books that make you think that something like that happen.ahhh and as far as I know there are no miracles in this planet or others ,miracles is something that humans create that make them feel better so I don´t know why for most of the people is easier to think that Jesus and god were a kind of miracle and not somebody who came from other part of the outer space, even people who believed in E.Ts
Of course it is my opinion about the Holy books and the only way to realy know who is god and who is Jesus it is if one of this days they come here again and show everybody who they really are. I have the strange feeling that something like this is going to happen very soon.I hope!!! so people can stop fighting for religion!!! something that they create that make them feel better to don´t feel we are alone.
Good question!!

Answer 4

Not really, no, but there are some who have interpreted different passages as the authors understanding of a meeting with extra terrestrials. People really didn’t have a concept of ET’s during that time; that’s more of a modern thing.

Hope this helps. :)

Answer 5

Ezekiel speaks of wheels within wheels, which might be interpreted as a spacecraft. The Star that stood over the place where Jesus lay in Bethlehem certainly couldn't be a supernova or a planetary conjunction, it had to be local and portable, like a flying saucer.

Aliens say that they took holographic records of the Crucifixion. They obviously had an interest in the life of Jesus.

Answer 6

Well the Bible does mention the universe quite a bit, but I don't recall anywhere it says that we are the only ones in it. It's mute on the issue.

I wonder how primitive man would have handled that revelation anyway? Heck, how would our "advanced" civilization handle it today?

Answer 7

Afraid not, its all about our little blue and green planet. Forget the billions and billions of galaxies out there because none of 'em have life, just our little green planet with our sun and moon.

There must be something out there because there are just too many possibilities, I mean everyone hits Aces once in a while right?

Answer 8

I know some people have occasionally pulled one or two biblical verses out of text and cited them as proof for such, but that has been generally not accepted to be true. I don't know of what any other religious books might say.

Answer 9

Nope - I found one that I used to reference in the Bible, but it was just a joke to me. If you want to know about Aliens from a Christian perspective I would recommend a book called "Alien Obsession" by Ron Rhodes. I'm not finished yet, but it is very enlightening.

Answer 10

here is what you do..just go to any of those digital bible sites...and type in "aliens" in the search part...then see what comes out! You will be shocked
Hebrews 11:34
Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
(Whole Chapter: Hebrews 11 In Context: Hebrews 11:33-35

Answer 11

Which three holy books? There must be more than three. No, I don't think so. ET would be the bane of religious dogma.
