Does the Bible say anything about life on other planets?

Question

Serious answers only please

Answer 1

No, the Bible doesn't say anything about life on other planets, but it doesn't NOT say anything either. The Bible doesn't mention computers or newspapers or other modern things. Because it doesn't say it, doesn't mean that it automatically denies that it exists. Personally, I believe it is likely there are other galaxies with other planets.

Answer 2

No, I would not think so. In certain passages of the Bible, including the Tower of Babel story, the sky seems to be interpreted as "the heavens," and not a layer of atmosphere that separates the globe from the rest of the universe. So I could not expect much on the subject of space, planets, or solar systems.

Also, the authors of the bible would not have had an awareness of science, star formation, the immensity of the universe, the evolution of life, or the possible development of life on other planets. Only science and verifiable evidence have yielded any insight into these issues, and most within the past few centuries.

I think that the passages which suggest life on other planets (including those on the site above) seem hopelessly misconstrued to match the views of their readers. A passage on finding water, for instance, does not translate into E.T. living on a planet somewhere beyond the Crab Nebula.

Scientists like Carl Sagan and people with an awareness of science were the folks who gave us these awesome ideas for our consideration.

ASTRONOMICAL ALLUSIONS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
The "host of heaven", a frequently recurring Scriptural expression, has both a general and a specific meaning. It designates, in some passages, the entire array of stars; in others it particularly applies to the sun, moon, planets, and certain selected stars; the worship of which was introduced from Babylonia under the later kings of Israel.

The Planets

Venus and Saturn are the only planets expressedly mentioned in the Old Testament.

Isaias (xiv, 12) apostrophizes the Babylonian Empire under the unmistakable type of Helal (Lucifer in the Vulgate), "son of the morning".

Saturn is no less certainly represented by the star Kaiwan, adored by the reprobate Israelites in the desert (Amos 5:26). The same word (interpreted to mean "steadfast") frequently designates, in the Babylonian inscriptions, the slowest-moving planet; while Sakkuth, the divinity associated with the star by the prophet, is an alternative appellation for Ninib, who, as a Babylonian planet-god, was merged with Saturn. The ancient Syrians and Arabs, too, called Saturn Kaiwan, the corresponding terms in the Zoroastrian Bundahish being Kevan. The other planets are individualized in the Bible only by implication. The worship of gods connected with them is denounced, but without any manifest intention of refering to the heavenly bodies. Thus, Gad and Meni (Isaias, lxv, 11) are, no doubt, the "greater and the lesser Fortune" typified throughout the East by Jupiter and Venus; Neba, the tutelary deity of Borsippa (Isaias xlvi, 1), shone in the sky as Mercury, and Nergal, transplanted frorn Assyria to Kutha (2 Kings 17:30), as Mars.

yes , as you can see there is considerable reference as well
as gods worshiped by the romans.

Answer 4

I dont care what the bible says, there are literally hundreds of planets obtainable and there will be many with existence on them. We cant be the sole planet in the universe that has existence.

Answer 5

Nope. The bible treats man as the center of the universe. Which makes sense, because 2000 years ago man thought everything revolved around the Earth.

Answer 6

There are no other planets.

The bible clearly says that god created "lights in the firmament". What "science" tells us are the sun and moon and planets and stars are just lights in the firmament. Those "theories" that say the sun and the stars are big balls of gas or that big balls of rock exist that "astronomers" call planets are just Satan's heresies.

If planets existed, the bible would have said something and it doesn't. The word "planet" never occurs in the bible.

Answer 7

Simply put, no, it doesn't. The indication though, from the creation account, would be that there isn't.

(I'm referring of course, only to intelligent life)

Answer 8

It says that Eve was the mother of all living. Take it from there.

Answer 9

No it doesn't. However, God loves to create so who knows down the road.

Answer 10

nope.
