Question

yeah i know.

Is there life on other planets?
.

Answer 1

Funny how athiests are open to the idea that life on other planets is possible even though there is no proof yet they claim to be absolutley certain that there is no creator.

I can accept agnostics but athiests? To me atheism is just like a religion in that it has "beliefs" that are by no means proven. Evolution is not proof that there is no creator. The creator may very well have created evolution.

At least religious people realize that their's is a belief system bassed not on fact but on faith. The athiests do the exact same thing. There belief system is bases not on fact but on assumptions. It is basically a secular religion.

No one can "know" the answer to how the universe came to be because at our present state of ability the answer is still unknowable.

In my own opinion, I think athiests believe there is no "God" because they don't want there to be a God. Not for any other reason. I think religious people believe there is a God because they want there to be a God. My own beliefs? I am not religious but I am a Deist. I believe in a creator.

Answer 2

Does the Bible say conclusively, one way or the other, that there is life on other planets? No it doesn't. But there are passages that may help us to formulate an intelligent Biblical response. Consider that God through His Word tells us that His creation is to show His glory. Show His glory to who? Us. The message of the Bible is that God cares for this planet and more specifically for it's inhabitants. Also, God only names one planet that He says was created to be inhabited... earth! Whether that extend only to intelligent life or all life, it definitely singles our earth as being different. Even if science was to find life on another planet, and most likely unintelligent life, it would prove nothing except that the Creator created elsewhere too. Evolution still can't get life from non-life. Those that think finding life elsewhere would threaten the Bible or Christianity, seem to have a strange view as to what the Bible teaches. The bottom line of Scriptures is that God created everything, no matter where it's found!

Answer 3

Yes, put simply life has been found on asteroids.
so yes there is life outside of earth, although it's single celled.

But incase you mean intelligent aliens:

That said, we know there are 200,000,000,000 (minimum) stars are roughly in our milkyway galaxy, each star has on average 5 planets around it, and that's in one galaxy alone, we can see billions of galaxy's in every direction we look.

Although we cannot say that there is intelligent life, the odds are in favour of it happening.

It's like if you had a million and 1 chance to win the lottery but everyone on earth played, people would be winning the lottery every few seconds.

When you have such a high number of planets, a good amout of them will be in the goldy locks region (just right conditions from a nearby star, where conditions are perfect for life) to its relative star.

And planets don't need a star to provide heat either, planets and moon can generate their own heat, by the way they orbit.

Answer 4

Why ask atheists this and why ask it here? This is a science question or perhaps an astronomy question.

The answer is that we do not know for sure. There is evidence to suggest that life once was on Mars. However, that evidence is debated. Mars is the only other planet in our system with a chance of life. The others are too inhospitable for life. Some moons of the gas giants may have a chance of lifeforms though. We will not really know until we send probes to search for them.

As for planets outside of our solar system, we have no way of knowing. We cannot get the kind of detailed analysis of the planet that would let us know. There is no way a probe will ever reach those planets in our lifetimes. In short, you and I will never know for sure unless those lifeforms came to us in very advanced technology.

Answer 5

There is actually proof. Churches once told us evrything in the solar system and universe was centered around earth. But, now scientists have proven it wrong. We are a small spec on the face of the universe. Once you realize there is nothing revolving around us, you realize out of all the space in well... space there has got to be another planet with life on it. We have not discovered much, so the probability of there being life is high. an evolution is backed up by so much reasearch.

Answer 6

There is most likely some form on life elsewhere in the universe, though that life is not necessarily at all like Earth life.

Answer 7

i'm an atheist because think about it, you think the Greeks were silly for believing that there was Zeus and Poseidon ruling over them. How can you know your religion is the right one? How can Christians or Jews or Muslims or anyone else believe in their god blindly and yet laugh about how ignorant the Greeks were.

Answer 8

not atheist but i would have to say that the universe is pretty damn big for just little old us. if we are alone, there must not be a god because the sheer size of the universe is just a waste of space and i would not call that intelligent design.

Answer 9

None of us know the answer to that, but it's certainly probable, at least somewhere out there.

I won't say yes, until I have proof though.

Answer 10

to the best answer atheism isn't a religion we don't believe in god or miracles or anything like that we have one belief that there is no god that doesn't really seem to be a religion
