If there is, God created it and they need Jesus as Saviour.

Just out of curiosity here.  Do any of you think we will find life on other planets eventually?  Do you think it exists and we won't find it?  If found, how would this life fit into God's plan?  I don't mean specifically little green men, but any sort of life, single-celled or whatever.

I doubt that they counted all the grains of sand either.

First off, I think your first response was excellent Hiedi.
As for life on other planets, I don't think so. And this is from what I feel the scriptures say.
We are told that God created the heavens and the earth, and then He created man because He wanted children.
The Word says that at the end, God will burn up the heavens and the earth, and create a new heaven and a new earth, and that we will live with Him for all eternity upon this new earth. This leads me to believe that life exists only on the earth, where we will live with Him forever.
I do not claim revelation about this; it is just how I see it.
Love in Christ. Roy.  

What if on a planet far far away the local Adam and Eve never ate what passes for an apple there? What if there was no tree with a serpent in it to tempt Eve. What if the local version of Adam never fell?

Thanks, Royo. I also tend to believe that there is no life on other planets. Even if there is, it is obviously not something that God deems important enough for us to chase after or He would have placed more emphasis on it.

I tend to think not. I think He made this endless universe to reveal His glory, but I do believe God has an infinite number of other equally endless universes and that there is life there.

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.  And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.
And God said, "Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters." And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. And God called the expanse Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.
And God said, "Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear." And it was so. God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
And God said, "Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth." And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.
And God said, "Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth." And it was so. And God made the two great lights--the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night--and the stars. And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.


Genesis 1:1-19

The heavens declare the glory of God,
   and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

Psalm 19:1

Its unbelievably presumptous to assume we now have all the understanding we will ever have.

Irrelevent point, but the universe may be very very big, and expanding, but it isn't endless.  Or, more precisely, it isn't infinite.

Oh joy I always love professed Christians that don't believe in Adam and Eve.


The bible is all the information that God feels we need to know for now.


And you know this how?

Considering I have seen the scientists that use the hubble telescope say they "enhance" the images from it, I hold little value in the pretty pictures they have.  The telescope takes rough black and whites and they use computers to come up with the colors.  Sounds shady to me.

Ebia, are you a Christian?
I am asking this as a serious question. You say there was no Adam and Eve, and yet God says He created them. I have not been here long enough to know about everyone, so I don't know if you are one of the atheists that comment here, or not.
Just want to know before I comment to your reply.
Thanks, Roy.

She's an aussie catholic if I remember correctly.  Whatever that means to you.

The stars aren't there to support other life.  According to God, they simply declare His glory to man.

This sounds curiously like the summary of someone who lazily felt like skipping a chapter while translating.  Or someone who was writing with no imaginative skills.
