Over the years the Christians "unchaning" deity has changed a lot. I guess the excuse is that now they "better" understand the message. When evolution was discovered christianity adapted to incorporate theories of evolution.
Now that it is being observed that Earth is not unique, as far as topograpical features, will the God theory adapt to say that God created many Earthlike planets but only one with life?

I think it is getting a little crumbly around the edges.

I have studied both Greek and Hebrew... 98 percent of the bible has been validated through the "Dead Sea Scrolls." So at the bible has not changed weather or not some "Christians" have tried to adapt there concept of "God" to there individual needs.. The bible is clear though, God is the same yesterday and today. Also the bible states that God did indeed create the planets. As well as this most christians do not buy into the "GAP" theory. this is the theory that states that millions of years could be in between each of the six days that it took for God to create the earth. To be honest with you this theory is pretty lame.. Most Christians still adhere to a relatively young earth. Around 10 thousand years old.. The Christians that "adapt" there beliefs do so because they have never studied much science. Most people have studied evolution in science books.. Most do not realize that there are just as many science books that teach creationism...Almost all christians that have studied creationism have studied evolution.. Why is it that almost NO evolutionists have ever read a creationist science book. And why is it that evolutionists REFUSE to debate creation scientists.. And why is it that when they did in the eighties they would lose the debates 90 percent of the time???

Of course. Our understanding of the Christian God adapted throughout the Bible (compare Old Testament to the Gospel) and throughout the millenia. It is going to continue to adapt until mortal humans are virtually perfect in the spiritual sense.

What exactly is the theological problem with aliens?
Of course the idea of God adapts. Do you think Newton would have understood quantum gravity? All human ideas grow. We learn. Theology is no different.
Maybe if you actually read some contemporary theology you wouldn't have a stick in your *** about the whole thing.

In the beginning Man created God in his own mage. As Man's image continues to evolve so will his creation.

dude Islam, their is no deity worthy of worship besides God
God is the Oft-Forgiving, Most-Merciful, Creator of The Universe.
The Message has never changed (and never will), but there are people who are criminals who are doing bad deeds (there always will be bad people).
Peace Be With You

I don't believe there is one thing in the Bible that says life is only on Planet Earth. And as to adaption, I don't think the Bible adapts. I believe, that as we grow spiritually, we understand better what the Bible speaks.
