If there are other worlds with intelligent life on them...?

Question

...and supposing we and they had a creator god...could that be why that creator god never makes an appearance here? That he is just too busy elsewhere?

Answer 1

A god capable of fulfilling all the capabilities of bible god (eg 'creating' the universe and everything in it) could be in more than one place at a time and could in fact be doing many things at one time (is it any wonder she's thought of as a woman?).
Bible god is limitless (infinite) in ALL things.
If a critter like that existed I would be dirtying my pants on a continuous basis … much like xians do now.
A critter as described in bible would have no hesitation of letting anyone and everyone know she exists, again, on a continuous basis.

It seems the ‘wiser’ we become as a species the less bible god (or any other breed of god) manifests herself in any way.
Funny that, huh?
One would expect it the other way around – we should be continually reminded by god not to get too big for our boots BUT he seems to have left the building.

Hopefully HE learned from HIS mistakes while HE experimented on earth. It took a mighty longgggg time for God to get worshiping church builders. Mass extinction events suggests He was frustrated and needed to start from scratch a few times. We can only hope He's happy with the newcomers mankind. Probability dictates there's other life out there and I'm happy to hear that some thumpers agree, even though it is a clear departure from their silly history. Intelligent life is a different story, odds are no there isn't. But it could be that they do exist and the only difference between us is they're still using rotary phones and don't have power-steering yet. Or some other major difference, the possibilities are endless good question.

Answer 3

the position did you get the idea there are one hundred billion planets that would type civilizations? There are a minimum of one hundred billion stars contained in the galaxy. yet about a million/3 of those are in binary or maybe 3 movie star structures. So there ought to easily be perchance 70 billion or so movie star structures. present day study have shown that the traditional type of planets in preserving with movie star equipment (that we've checked up to now) is more suitable than a million, and characteristic shown that even binary structures could have planets. So there should be a minimum of 70 billion planets. yet that honestly does no longer mean that all of them ought to help existence, a lot less civilizations. just about all of those planets should be gas giants maximum probable. for sure the argument will be made that per chance they have moons that ought to help existence. yet until eventually they're fairly, fairly large moons likely no longer civilizations. besides, only a gamble i ought to assert there will be perchance everywhere from perchance 10 to on absolutely the utmost perchance a million,000 movie star structures in our galaxy with planets or large moons able to helping smart existence quicker or later throughout their existence cycle. perchance 10 to at least one hundred being more suitable probable. yet, that hardly ever signifies that each and every one in each and every of those civilizations should be alive at the same time. some would nicely be lengthy extinct, some might want to nevertheless be residing in caves and searching with stone strategies at this aspect and nevertheless be on the evolutionary ladder. or per chance they have even been round a lot longer than us yet nevertheless stay in caves. Evolution obviously isn't only a race to intelligence. And in simple terms because a species is smart does no longer recommend that it's going to rush to create civilizations. it really is all in simple terms meaningless hypothesis although. there is in simple terms one planet all of us understand of that has existence. Earth.

Answer 4

ha! is that a pop at the perfectly pheasable theory of creationism or 'intellectual design' =P but yes it is a good question. but wouldnt it destroy the cristain image of god. wouldnt he 'be everywhere' and be nurturing us too? especially if he was all powerful (ignorantly) would he not be able to help us too? cristains argue he cannot control us, we are beyond him , on once he created the universe it has no influence from God. but i find that a scape goat almost to cover up flaws.

Answer 5

I've had that thought too. He might not be here 'cause he's too busy making stuff elsewhere. Good question.

Answer 6

An excerpt from an 1816 William Ellery Channing sermon on heaven.

"We need not doubt the fact that angels whose home is heaven visit the earth and bear a part in our transactions; and we have good reason to believe, that, if we obtain admission into heaven, we shall still have opportunity, not only to return to
earth, but to view the operation of God in distant spheres,
and be his ministers in other worlds.....

It is not impossible, that, in our intercourse with other worlds,
we shall meet with beings who are passing through the first
stage of discipline, like that which is now assigned to ourselves, –beings exposed to pain, temptation, and sorrow,
beings who may need our sympathy and aid, and whom we
may render the same offices which we have reason to believe
angels now render to the human race."

Answer 7

That is a tough one. The Bible does talk of other sheep, well that is what Jesus says. "Other sheep will know my voice." Why not life on other planets.

Answer 8

Too busy? You mean that because He doesn't come down in flaming fire taking vengance on everyone that He's too busy?
Hmm....look up the Holy Ghost, my friend. You'll find that God has enough time, and is actually waiting for us to find enough time for Him.
Trust me. I know.

Answer 9

Answer 10
