Christians: How do you explain aliens?

Question

If you are a skeptical person, read this with an open mind.

Greys, Reptilians, Nordics, are all reported to be seen everywhere on the earth, however, sightings of aliens diddn't start until the 1800's. I for one have spent alot of time looking into the evidence, watching videos, reading eyewitness accounts, and they all lead up to one of the tree aliens:

Greys - The popular 4 foot tall, grey, big headed, slanted eye alien. These make up 75 percent of all aliens sighted in the united states alone.

Reptillians - Humanoid aliens with reptile features such as scales and reptile eyes.

Nordics - 7 foot tall aliens that look mostly like scandanavian humans, their women are reported to be very beautiful.

If the bible tells the stories of god, why doesn't it mention alien races? There is mountains of evidence, photos, videos and reports to back up aliens, so why wasn't their creation written in the bible?

Heh, you all did exactly what I wanted you to. Most of you denied the existance of aliens because there is "no evidence", even though this statement is wrong, there IS alot of evidence in favor of alien life, there is no evidence proving the bible either.

Answer 1

Really? Even science says nothing of aliens, how do you explain that ?
Show me one respected scientist who will put his career on the line to say "Aliens exist" and I will show you a new out of work scientist.

I was just watching a show yesterday explaining the serious problems of extended space journeys, and the detrimnetal effects upon bone and muscle mass. Even if there were aliens, scientifically, by the time they reached another planet, they would never be able to enter an atmosphere and gravity of it. The atmospheric pressure and the gravity would crush them.

Answer 2

I don't explain aliens. How does science explain aliens? No one explains aliens because no one has any proof they exist.

If I *was* convinced of alien existence, though (and I'm not saying I'm a total nonbeliever -- I just don't see enough evidence to state it as a fact) I would say that the Bible doesn't mention aliens because:

1. It was written by men, and if we today aren't sure about aliens, why would they be any surer? If a couple centuries down the road they DO prove alien existence, they won't discount historical accounts for not mentioning them, they'll just assume we didn't know about them.

2. Frankly, they're none of their business. The Bible is intended to lay out an account for human salvation; it has nothing to do with aliens. It doesn't mention canaries, either, but no one cares about that.

UPDATE: Ah, so it was a trick question. Well, aren't you clever.

You'll notice, though, that I'm not denying alien existence. Several other people have attempted to give you reasonable answers too, but I guess they don't fit in with what you expected and should be ignored.

Answer 3

Because people do not want to Shake their beliefs in
religion. This is a fact. Alien Grey's have been here a
long time. Exploiting the Human race. and they do have
a plan. People do not want to discuss what they can't or
will not believe no matter what you tell them about Aliens
from somewhere else. But they sure as ---- believe in
books such as the Bible writtin by Man with less fact or
truth than what is really going on.. And brother you better
wake up because its so big and everyone is ignoring it.
Something Big is going to happen by the year 2012 you
can count on it. Then people will not be so Naive......

Answer 4

I believe in aliens, but there isn't any evidence. All of it is scams. Apart from the Moth man, he's real. Don't you think it'd been on UK news if aliens were discovered, anywhere? Even in America? I'll tell you why it's not in the bible tho. Because the dim witted moron who wrote the bible thinking god was telling him to do so (When the guy really had skitzofreenea, or how ever you spell it. Y'know, voices in your head telling you to do stuff.) didn't know that there was other intelligent life forms in the universe. Hell, he thought heaven was in the clouds, which we have proof it aint, it's called a Plane :D.

Answer 5

Aliens do exsist. Just not in this solar system. If a Supreme Being created life on earth, why should He stop?

I watched an alien sightings thing on the History Channel and it explained how UFOs are volcanic gases, and seeing aliens (not UFOs) only appear in dreams of people who have twisted minds. I never got to see where those crop formations come from, though.

It talks about Aliens in Ezekial in the Bible.

Answer 6

The Bible doesn't talk about dinosaurs or explain their existence, on Earth, so in my opinion the Bible isn't any kind of accurate account of scientific fact. Even to prove that God is real. It's all a matter of believing what some random book tells you. Me? I'd believe photos, video's etc. more than a book written by man that was supposed to be told by some 'being' that no one has ever seen.

Answer 7

I keep my ear to the ground (so to speak) on alien info, and I'm unaware of any photographic evidence of aliens occurring before the turn of the 20th century. If you have any, please make it known to me. Feel free to contact me via email. I have that option enabled.

However, my theory on aliens is thus:

Aliens are the result of genetic engineering which has been going on since the 30's. It was enacted to produce a race of humans that is able to survive for long periods of time in space, but still be able to operate in a gravity environment. Look at all the information on aliens that exists and tell me why they have nasal passages, arms, legs, ocular cavities and optical sensing organs. I believe that if there were aliens, they would be in no way human, not because of evolution, but because humans are as they are because this form is best suited for survival in this place, at this time, and while I don't believe life came into being through evolution, it cannot be denied that evolution does occur and adaptation to change in environment and planetary conditions breeds change. These things we see are just too human. It's either all a hoax, or there's something fishy going on. Something on this scale would have to be a world collaboration, and the purpose is to have these beings travel to distant places in the galaxy in search of other worlds for colonization. We already know that earth-bound men have great difficulty living in space for extended periods of time. If we're to travel out of the solar system, we have to adapt to conditions in space, and I believe that's what's been going on. This also explains UFOs, as you have to have a ship capable of fast travel that can travel safely in both space and in an atmosphere. There's more if you'd like to hear it, but that's the nutshell presentation.

Answer 8

Well, I have a few things to say.

First, if there are aliens (and personally I don't believe in them) then what difference does it make?

Second, why has no one ever been able to prove they exist? You say "there is [sic] mountains of evidence".... REALLY????? Where is it? if there were "mountains" of evidence, then aliens would be generally accepted as truth, right? I mean, if they're popping up from time to time, why is it always in the middle of nowhere in the dead of night? If they are advanced enough to come here....then why wouldn't they just show up at the white house and introduce themselves, or appear to someone we all consider a reliable witness? (yeah, I know, you're going to say the same thing about God...but God doesn't show up on earth now and then for photo ops like aliens supposedly do). I guess your "mountains of evidence" equates to shadowy pictures of the Loch Ness Monster and ghosts, right?

Third, in understanding the nature of who we are and who God is, I understand that God has an enemy, who is therefore my enemy. Satan will do anything to keep anyone from believing in God, and satan does have an incredible amount of power in this earth right now....so whose to say that 'aliens' and 'ghosts' and anything else that distracts or prevents us from belief in God isn't just satan having a good time with us?

Finally, I will leave you with a quote from Peter S. Williams:
"Unless SETI actually 'delivers the goods' [i.e., PROOF of aliens] this piece of atheological self-justification will remain another example of


Quick note to NOTI:
The Bible refers to many the common animals we know today. The list includes lions, wolves, bears, sheep, cattle and dogs along with various kinds of birds, rodents, reptiles, and insects. What is interesting is that this extensive list includes three animals that we no longer recognize. These three are (in the original Hebrew language) tanniyn, b@hemowth (yes, it’s spelled correctly—at least as close as we can get in Roman characters), and livyathan.

Although we alter the spelling of behemoth and Leviathan slightly, we still use those same words in bibles today. However, tanniyn is always translated into another word when we write it in English. Tanniyn occurs 28 times in the Bible and is normally translated “dragon.” It is also translated “serpent,” “sea monster,” “dinosaur,” “great creature,” and “reptile.” Behemoth and Leviathan are relatively specific creatures, perhaps each was a single kind of animal. Tanniyn is a more general term, and it can be thought of as the original version of the word “dinosaur.” The word “dinosaur” was originally coined in 1841, more than three thousand years after the Bible first referred to “Tanniyn.”

Answer 9

The bible is written about prophets, saints and Christ. At the time the bible was written, there were no pictures and photos of aliens. I'm sure the point of the bible was to teach man how to live Christ-like. It is not a point of reference for creatures from another planet. You have the bible confused with an encyclopedia. They are two different books.

Answer 10

The Bible addresses sin and man's need for a Savior, Christ Jesus.
Aliens are not sinners like us. They just observers. Good thing too. If, they were like us with their advanced technology they would in-slave the men, rape the women and kill those unable to serve the first two criteria. Just like we see people doing here on Earth.

Answer 11

Some people say the fallen angels or nephilim of the Bible are really aliens.

to Fauxtrot- Has it ever occured to you that they are traveling interdimensionally or otherwise outside our current understanding of the laws of physics?
