Do you believe God didn't tell us about ET's on purpose because He wanted us to discover for ourselves?

Question

If we are the only life form in the vastness of the universe,what a waste of space. God wanted up to find other life forms by ourselves to discover how we would handle such a situation.
Even to increase our technological knowledge and to give us a message. There are many things God wants us to work out for ourselves that aren't in the Bible and if we do, it glorifies
Him. What is your opinion?

Would a human being be a bad example for representing mankind if we sent one into space to land on this planet we discovered to have alien life!

Answer 1

Many other life forms do exist, humans are just another form! Humans are eons away from the center where all the other forms are for a good reason.

We are Just males and females, but we have made a quagmire of crap with nationalities, races and the like! GOD made male and female with a rainbow of skin tones, sizes shapes and speech! We are way out here alone because we have to learn to live together in love!

Just think what would happen had GOD put humans in the mist of all the different peaceable other life forms. It would not take long before we would have completed F*&^%$ed that place up!

So, we have to get smart enough to make the vechicle to take us to the others, and learn to live each other! We have taken a tiny step, we have gone to the moon and created the Uniited nations. We still have a long, long way to go!

UFO's, They are the other guys checking up on our progress! Come down and talk to us?
Who/what with a sensible mind would come down into wars, rapes, lies, abuse of every type and order? If I were one of them, I wouldn't either!

Answer 2

No, I don't believe that.
I doubt that we are the only life form in the universe.
However, we may be the only life form capable of such imaginary, delusional things as gods.
Of course, at this point one should define what is meant by "god."
Some people think of god as an omniscient, omnipotent, compassionate, though sometimes vengeful and jealous, creator of all things in the universe, who is responsive to prayer, intervenes in human affairs, and is imagined to have the physical characteristics of a male (usually white) human (e.g. the god of the Abrahamic religions).

Of course, if you don't believe in that god, christians, jews and muslims will call you an atheist. Nowadays, anyone who doesn't believe in the same god as one group does is called an atheist by that group. Just as in the old days when Romans called christians atheists.

Some people feel that god represents all of the physical laws of nature - a single word to describe gravity, quantum mechanics, relativity, grand unification theories, etc.

Some people feel its simply not necessary to have such beliefs in human-like, human-created deities nor do they feel it necessary to refer to scientific knowledge as god. Unfortunately, these people (atheists by definition) are often the victims of a word (atheist) that has been used as an insult for thousands of years (when, in fact, it may be one of the highest compliments you can have bestowed upon you.)

It is through logical and rational thought, open-minded, free thinking and skeptical inquiry that science has become the only systematic method through which knowledge about the nature of real world has been progressively acquired. Through science, the means to understand our own evolution as a life form has been attained, and the technology to look for life elsewhere in the universe has been developed. If we can survive as a species long enough, we will find other intelligent life out there.

And to answer your last question, as a representative of mankind to another planet with life, I do think that a “human” would be the best example of “mankind.” (Did you have another animal in mind to represent mankind?)

Answer 3

my opinion.... there are many things that aren't in the bible.... does the bible tell u how the interenet works??

science was created by mankind, not religion
ppl like Galileo were condemned and punishment for their progressive ideas in the field of science...

and if, from earth, a human being does not land on a planet with life, what will... a dog??

Answer 4

Nope...I think ET came here with a very specific purpose...and demonstrate that telephone charges here on earth are undue, and the telephone has evolved so much, that you can ask for help of your folks, at a moments notice even when they are millions of miles awat...without costing you a penny...You see my point?

Answer 5

With religion as the sole basis for worshipping "god", there's not a believer around that could handle ET life.

Answer 6

I think that the reason God didn't tell us about ET's was that none of us speak Ancient Hebrew these days. For that reason, if God is talking to us, no one can understand him and figure out what he is saying.

Answer 7

I strongly believe that if God wanted us to eat Cheeseburgers, he would have provided cows with a method of making milk, instead of having us work it out for ourselves.

Answer 8

I have never read anywhere in the bible that life off this world does not exist, He wanted us to stay in the garden and we ate the fruit anyway , so we now have free will and god is now just a spectator in our lives,

Answer 9

Yes, and it protects all those civilizations from us killing them, before we learn to control ourselves.
It's only about power to the government that has first contact with the aliens, then the world will be their - they think.

Answer 10

well so far in History, i don't see where god told us he directly exists, only some men writing he exists and their own interpretation and use to follow their own beliefs and what "they" wish to impose on society, but just because god has not told us directly, may not mean he does or does not exist, Einstein claimed he believed in god, so may be ultimate Creator or maybe not, you are free to choose
