What about other intelligent life in the universe?

Question

The universe is no doubt filled with intelligent life beyond earth. Some may be more evolved and so may be less evolved. In any case, some species may have their own religion of somekind. If they do, then it would only make sense that THEIR god looks like them (and not human)

So who is right? Since they would probably have no more proof than religion does on this planet. Maybe they even have an "alien bible" of some kind. So if we were to meet this species how would we say to them that god looks like us, and not you! Since we too would have no way to prove it.

But I doubt that any species of true intelligence would not have religion. They would find a way to evolve past the adolesence of religion and the childish beliefs that a parent (god) is going to protect us from our childish mistakes and do the thinking for us.

Answer 1

That is one of the reasons why we should be dealing with the Creator our Lord, rather than the word God. Also spelled backward, it must of been a sick joke on the rest of the world. Just in case, may as well use The Creator.

Also remember that we have to deal with our spirit. That means you take the things you learn (even from the Bible) and use only the things your spirit feels are good and of Truth to build a way of life.

Answer 2

I'm a fellow atheist, and I see where you were trying to go with this, but you lost me after your "no doubt" statement.

You can't fall into the trap of making unproven assertions, then building an argument around it. That is just setting yourself up to lose your debate.

There absolutely is doubt.

There is not an iota of evidence that intelligent life exists beyond planet earth. There is speculation, and mathematical probablities based on guesstimates of other things we don't know....but that doesn't qualify as proof.

There is no more evidence for extraterrestrial intelligent life, than there is for a god.

Answer 3

The amazing thing is that we are one of the only galaxies in the known universe that has only one sun. That's why we are able to survive. Most galaxies have 2 suns or more, and therefore it is much too harsh a climate for any planet to sustain life. Of course we haven't explored the entire universe so of course there may be intelligent life somewhere. But we'll never get to see it because of the length of time it would take to get there.

Answer 4

You dont have to go interstellar to have this argument..

You only have to look at the wide diversity of religion on Earth to see what a pointless argument it would be.

Christians (or Muslims for that matter) cant even agree of who's interpretation of their own religion is right, let alone different religions. In fact people are killed daily for believing in slightly different interpretations of a given religion.

Bottom line is this, If an alien life form believes in a God, then they are obviously not advanced enough to warrant us contacting them.

Answer 5

If other life exist on other planets why would some be more/some less evolved.Some supposed life would have to be the most evolved why couldn't man be the most evolved and therefore the smartest?Would the little green "men" want to be related to some lower form of "monkey" like (evolutionist) man?

Answer 6

i'm an atheist. i've got not got a theory one way or the different. it variety of feels accessible sensible existence varieties exist on different planets, even probable once you calculate the form of planets in the universe and extrapolate from prevalent planet shape how lots of those might have appropriate situations. yet merely through fact something is accessible, or maybe probable, does not advise that there is taken under consideration one of those element. i might say that I settle for the prospect, yet have not have been given any reason to have faith, or disbelieve, the reality. Please word that it fairly is acceptable to theoretical beings, not Arizona anal probe memories. And, as an ingredient word, could qualify "someplace else in the universe" as being area, in the process my front room is "someplace else in the universe" than my physique's region.

Answer 7

I believe yes, but I have not got any proofs yet.
Reasoning by evolution or by creation, we think that it seems illogical for only men to exist in such immense physical and spiritual worlds.
With more advancement in civilization, we may get contact with other intelligent beings on other planets as we have done when we crossed the oceans to meet people on various continents. In those days we did not know that we are brotherly related as today.
If they come here first, they must be more civilized than us, for having designed means of transportation faster than light; so their religion must be civilized too. They have to fear us rather than we fear them!

Answer 8

God is not of the flesh.....God is a spirit and doesn't look like anybody...I believe ,regardless of how many religions there are in the entire universe,there is only one creator...Different religions may call God by different names and worship in many ways,but all the prayers and worship still get funneled to the one and only GOD.

Answer 9

There are an estimated billion billion planets in the universe...That makes life somewhere else a possibility...Their beliefs are entitely speculative though. Humans are the only animals on Earth with religion so I imagine it's unlikely that they would have it...

Answer 10

If there are intelligent races out there then they will definately avoid EARTH!!

If they come here Christians would either try to convert them or just kill them in the name of their God!

After all if we are made in this God's image and an alien looks different then us these Christians would probably say something stupid like they are made in Satan's image! That way they could justify killing them!!
