About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"EXTRATERRESTRIALS VS CHRISTIANITY" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
EXTRATERRESTRIALS VS CHRISTIANITY
I HAVE BEEN ASKED, ON MANY OCCASIONS, AND HAVE WRITTEN ON IT BEFORE, IF I THINK THAT EXTRATERRESTRIALS EXIST AND IF THEY DO, WHAT EFFECT WILL THAT HAVE ON CHRISTIANITY? I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS A LOT AND HAVE CONSIDERED BOTH "YES THEY DO" AND "NO THEY DON'T", AND HERE IS WHAT I THINK. WITH THE BILLIONS OF SOLAR SYSTEMS IN THE UNIVERSE, AND I REALLY MEAN BILLIONS, WITH A "B", AND WITH ALL THE PLANETS GOING AROUND THEIR SUNS, I WOULD BE SURPRISED IF THERE WASN'T SOME FORM OF INTELLIGENT LIFE ON SOME OF THEM.
A LOT OF PREACHERS SAY THAT THE EARTH IS ONLY ABOUT 6.000 YEARS OLD. THEY GET THIS FROM TRACING MANKIND FROM JESUS BACK TO ADAM AND ADDING ON THE YEARS SINCE JESUS. WELL, I THINK THE EARTH IS MUCH OLDER THAN THAT, ABOUT 4.5 BILLION YEARS, AS A MATTER OF FACT. WE ALSO KNOW THAT DINOSAURS ROAMED THE EARTH FROM ABOUT 250 TO 75 MILLION YEARS AGO. THEY HAVE PROVEN THIS BY CARBON DATING THEIR BONES THAT HAVE BEEN DUG UP. NOW WITH THAT SAID, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR CHRISTIANITY. I READ AN ARTICLE SOME TIME AGO AND I LIKED WHAT IT SAID AND I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE IT WITH YOU. IT READS AS FOLLOWS:
The discovery of alien life would have no effect on genuine Christianity. The Bible stands as written, and there is nothing in it that would absolutely contradict the existence of extraterrestrials. If aliens exist, they exist within God's framework for creation. God cannot be hurt by truth, and those who walk by faith love the truth. John 16:13 assures us that the Holy Spirit will guide us to all truth. Nothing that happens in this universe is a surprise to God. If aliens exist, God will let us know what to do with that information when the time comes.
ISAIAH 43:7 SAYS "Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made."
IF ANOTHER RACE IS FOUND, BEING MORE ADVANCED OR NOT, IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO HEAR THEIR STORIES ABOUT CREATION, SIN, REDEMPTION AND AN OMNIPOTENT, ALL-SEEING AND ALL POWERFUL GOD. IF SO, THE BIBLE WOULD HAVE EVEN MORE EXTERNAL VALIDATION AND IF NOT, THEN WE WOULD HAVE ANOTHER MISSION FIELD. WOULDN'T THAT BE EXCITING. I AM READY FOR THE CHALLENGE, HOW ABOUT YOU?
I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS THOUGHT. IF EXTRATERRESTRIALS DO EXIST, JUST REMEMBER GOD CREATED THEM JUST AS HE DID US. WE ALL WERE CREATED FOR HIS GLORY WHETHER ON THIS WORLD OR ANOTHER WORLD. WE ARE ALL HIS.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
