How is it possible to believe in God, but not in exterrestrial beings that are a more simpler being than God?

Answer 1

Please read my words carefully:
If you see footmark in the sand, you'll say that someone passed from here...
If you see a piece of dog sh*t on the ground, you'll say that a dog passed from here...
So what about the enormous universe, the sky, stars, planets, earth and all the beauty in it, doesn't it lead to that someone made it?!!!

Some people say that everything is created by itself after the big-bang... I won't ask you about what caused the big-bang, but I'll ask you a simple question:
If you take all the letters of the alphabet, multiples of them, and you threw them randomly on the floor. Do you expect (by a chance of one in infinity) to get a poem like shakespear's??!!

Can't you see how organized our universe is, the planets, the eco-system on earth, look even in your own body... Can you control your heart-beat? Can you control your breath while you're sleeping? Who stopped your eye-lashes from growing after reaching a certain length? Who told the baby turtles to move towards the sea and not to the earth after they come out of their eggs? Who taught the bird how to make nests?

My friend, think with your heart and brain. If you're still lost, think about the following:

Do you know how to play safe?
Non-believer's case:
If there's no God and you do all what you want in life, then nothing will happen to you after life. But if there was God and you were mistaken, then you'll blame yourself FOREVER...

Believer's case:
If there's God and I followed His commands in life, then I'll be in Heaven after life FOREVER. But if there was no God and we're mistaken, then nothing bad will happen to us after life...

Now you know how to play-safe, in case you're not convinced?

Answer 2

Actually the whole system becomes more complicated if you add the existence of exterrestrials, since they would have the same sin/ world / devil problems that we have on earth. This would necessitate Saviors on all of these planets, along with the crucifixion, resurrection, and the second coming. In order to be true to Christianity, at the very least the second comings would have to take place simultaneously, otherwise evil would not be eradicated from the universe all at once.

You also have to explain how the same devil would exist on all of these planets simultaneously, when he is not omnipotent. How would the holy city of New Jerusalem descend upon the earth (Revelations 21) and all of these planets simulataneously.

All of this is not to say that there is no life on other planets in the universe, but it does say that such life is not in the image of God, such as man.

Answer 3

A more simpler being? It could be you are a more simpler being. Anyway, the key word in your question is 'believe'. I don't believe in elephants--I know for a fact they exist. When it comes to something that cannot be shown factually (God) or has not yet been shown factually (extraterrestrials), then to believe or not to believe can both be rational positions. Let's hope we don't have to reduce human experience to that which can be factually demonstrated!

Answer 4

I think we as humans are the poster child example for a true narcissist. So many of us truly believe that God would only create us and no one else?? I say no..there's more out there..this universe is just too big for only one planet to be inhabited.

Answer 5

Because you were not supposed to question dogma.
What is dogma?-
1 a : something held as an established opinion; especially : a definite authoritative tenet b : a code of such tenets c : a point of view or tenet put forth as authoritative without adequate grounds
2 : a doctrine or body of doctrines concerning faith or morals formally stated and authoritatively proclaimed by a church.

These are established beliefs that we are not supposed to question for fear of being labeled a heretic, atheist or worse, the devil .
----------------
Extraterrestrials- do they exist? Were all humans extraterrestrials at some point in the past?
Websites that discuss their presence

2. This one is set up for receiving communication , if extraterrestrials choose to communicate with us= http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/~luca/astr/Topics-Extrasolar/SETI-N.html

Answer 6

I think that all around us there is proof that God exists. We are proof that he exists. Everything around us is proof that God exists. While we have traveled and sent satelites all through outerspace and haven't seen another life form.

Answer 7

Blind faith.
