Topic: What if...

This question was brought about by something I saw in the forums earlier today.

What if, sometime in the near future, a bunch of scientists proclaimed that they had undisputed proof of life on other planets or other solar systems?

Would religions incorporate the new life form into the " God made all things under heaven and earth " premise?

Would religions have to go through fundamental changes to accept an alien life form??

From my experiences, the religions I have been exposed to say that we, as humans, are unique creatures and that we are the only people that God made.

I am curious to see what others have to say about this idea.

I think they have always been there..and if there is ever any "proof" it will blow people's minds..and I also think it's silly to believe were the only ones.

I will add a bit of a disclaimer here before people think I am just trying to bait others.

I do believe in God. But I also think there are other forms of life in the Universe.

I am not taking any particular " side " in asking this question.

I'm just the curious type.bigsmile

I agree with that...but the question is...what it would do to the various religions?

I'm not part of any religion so I wouldn't want to answer for anyone else...

I suppose they would have to re think a few ideas now wouldn't they?

There probably is proof. However the powers that be dont think that we as a society can handle the unknown. Of course, religion, just like most things is perceived differently by everyone. If it ever came out that we are not alone then all of a sudden there would be proof found in the bible that God made them too.

I'm still scratching my head as to why the Bible never mentioned Dinosaurs? what


During my child's religion class, a boy asked the teacher about when dinosaurs were here.

The teacher said, "I'm not sure. I really don't believe in dinosaurs. I think God put their bones here to confuse us."

That teacher has said enough bizarre things to make a thread about her.

I lost my voice while I've been sick. As soon as I get it back, the principal will be hearing from me.:angry:

This teacher also teaches science.slaphead They are studying rocks and minerals now. A boy asked about the ages of rocks. The teacher told them that the rocks aren't as old as scientists claim.
She said that God placed them on the earth looking like that.:angry:

Religion tells us that everything is from God so it does not matter where this life is . I think everyone should realize by now that religion is a man made aspect and discussing it is just a waste of time .
