if.. there are 300 billion galaxies...and 10% of those... have life...and ten percent of those have?

Question

inteligent life.... and of those life... very close to ours. if there is life allll over the galaxy. when do we start to understand .. that there isnt a god?. since we cant allll be his favorites... can we?. on other possible worlds.... would their bibles have the same words in them as ours?...since its the word of god

Answer 1

Seems to me it would be the other way around. If there were that much intelligent life in the universe that definitely prove that there was a God. The odds against life springing up by itself on one planet is astronomical enough but for there to be life all over the universe and to believe that life originated without a creator would be ridiculous.

Answer 2

Sure a lot of ifs in that premise...if there are 300 billion galaxies and if 10% have life and if 1% have intelligent life, that means that three billion intelligent life forms exist in this universe. It might provide at least a little support if we could find one of them...and wouldn't you know it, we can't even find another intelligent life form in our own galaxy...or is one the maximum per galaxy (and if so, by what rule?).

...and where exactly did you hear that we are God's favorites? I know the bible says he loves us, but it never says we're the only thing he loves nor does it say that we're his only creation. How does the possible, but, at the moment, completely unsupported, hypothesis that there is life all over the universe preclude the existence of God? If he created us, he certainly had no obligation to tell us about his relationship with other creations...if he's in charge, he has a right to dole out all information on a "need to know" basis. If he was capable of creating us, he was certainly capable of creating any other life we might discover in the universe. Some might even suggest that should some of these other life forms share common characteristics with us, it constitutes evidence of creation not of evolution!

Answer 3

Where is your proof of this alleged intelligent life? No one of reason would dispute the possibility of life elsewhere - it's just that none has been found. So, at this point, no life exists other than on earth.

And, if life is proven elsewhere, why would that give any idea that there is no God? Could not an omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent God rule and reign over more than one planet/world?

Logic. What a game.

Answer 4

I believe that inspiration, as the Roman Catholic Church believes in it, would be interpreted differently in the other universe but the people who lived in that universe would still be eligible to God's grace and wonders just as we are. Inspiration is the Holy Spirit going and "inspiring" a person to use them as an interpreter to write God's word into the Bible. Since man is not perfect, the inspiration could be interpreted differently in the other universe but, as God would intend it, it would still display the same ideas in the Bible we have now.

Answer 5

Precedent has already been set.

When Christians discovered the "new world" in 1492, they declared the indigenous life forms as pagan, and proceeded to wipe them out via "manifest destiny" and other forms of genocide. The Mayans, the Aztec, and most of the American indian tribes were robbed, enslaved, and/or decimated when they threatened the christian ideology of the day.

Answer 6

Have you seen Zeitgeist yet?? If not you would love this movie. Watch it and tell me what you think- there are plenty of planets out there that have life- anywhere you find water you find life. I wonder what hardcore Christians think that the Universe is?? Just something pretty for us to look at?? Just like how God put Dinosaur bones in the ground to test our faith LOL

Answer 7

Only an immature human thinks that he has to be a favourite. That's okay when you are trying to get your parents to love you, but when you mature you should not be desperately seeking a God that will love you more than he loves somebody else.

Since they don't have a Paul on the other planets, the words will not be the same.

Answer 8

Believing in God is based upon a personal relationship that you have with him. It is not based upon the mathematical probability of life on other planets. I like your thought process, but you need to expand upon your proof.

Answer 9

God created 1 world and he never mentioned anyother
he created us human,s to live here in the world and live
a Godly life,so we would live with him in Heaven.

Answer 10

i don't think of he could provide up his tax returns. yet whilst it did finally end up he refused or prevented paying taxes for 10 years might you somewhat anticipate something diverse from him. the astounding area is somebody like this might command 40 5% of the vote. to three, consistent with threat... by potential of not paying his taxes makes him a hero.
