Just wanted to find out what different religions think about E.T (Extra terrestrial) life. I heard it was something about Earth being the most important planet or that God makes life forms that look
like him. My main questions are that whats up with animals which are different and God creating the whole entire Universe which
means that all planets are created by him. Another question I have is human beings some how being born on mars or on earth still means there are humans just in a different place. And
are devils and angels considered E.T since they are out of the planet? Please awnser kindly. Nothing rude or abusive. Just wan to learn we are doing a classroom project on this.

I am a Christian, and I don't believe in aliens (at least in the sense that I think you mean) for a few different reasons:



1. Most supposed sightings are rather spurious, and often discovered to hoaxes (crop circles?!)



2. Ezekiel ch1, which another person refered to mentions something that's description seems a lot like some descriptions of flying saucers. Now some take the tack that Ezekiel saw just that. I would turn the table rather, and say perhaps many of those who see flying saucers are actually seeing an angel (as in most likely a fallen angel, i.e. demon).



3. If you look at the world around us, the way it is decaying and breaking down, and even the whole universe is winding down in accordance with the laws of thermodynamics. I understand this to be a result of sin coming into the world. Something incredible happened when the first people ate from the tree in Genesis three. I dont see why a good, loving God would subject whole other races and civizations to decay and declention just because of what happened here.



4. So there may BE other life forms created somewhere, but not on any plane that we could contact or affect. it would have to be something completely different and separate from this universe that is breaking down due to sin entering it.



Just my two cents.

I can try to help you. I'm not an expert because I am still learning.



I dont believe in Aliens because God did not create aliens according to the Bible. I dont believe in dinosaurs for the exact same reason.



Also, you said God created animals in his image which is not true. God created male and female in his image. Animals are beasts and can never be mistaken for a human.



Humans will not be born on mars unless a pregnant human goes to Mars to birth her baby. That is highly unlikely though,lol.



Angels are not human at all. They are spirits created by God so they are not considered E.T. I think Demons are more like beasts, but I really dont know for sure.



I hope this kinda helps you for your project, :~)

i used to be a christian, yet now i'm purely a theist. faith isn't a factor of my existence anymore. And confident I do have self belief in extraterrestrial beings. i think of that's totally almost impossible for them to no longer exist given how extensive the universe is. some even have self belief they got here to Earth an prolonged time in the past.

I believe in aliens, One day Christ is returning in the air with a host of angles, and saints on white horse's, I know they are in the 7th heaven. So ya, and Satan's angles are in the place above the earth where air and no air is, you know what I am talking about.

So Ya, that makes me a alien also,because my name is written the the Lambs book of life, and so I belong to the Nation, and City of God, an they are both out of the world.

The question I have for you is why do you believe in aliens? There is no proof for aliens at all. Most of the obsession we have over this whole subject comes from the movies. This generation has grown up on Star Trek and Star Wars, and Aliens etc etc. There is no factual proof for any of it, our society is just brain washed by Hollywood. Even the term UFO means and "unidentified" object. If it is unidentified then it is only your assumption that it is from outer space until it is identified.

We as Christians are committed to believing truth so until it is proved to be fact we simply do not believe it.

Also we believe that life can only come from God, it does not evolve. So no matter how many billions of planets there are there is no possibility of life on any of them unless God creaed it. The Bible leads us to believe quite clearly that the life does not exist on other planets.

Well, we only know of UFOs and aliens through people's home videos, crop circles, and alot of Roswell speculation. Most of the time, these "home videos" have been proven to be hoaxs. Crop circles have already been proven to be a hoax too. The guy who made the first crop circle was a farmer. His son came forward and showed how easy it was to make one. And the speculation surrounding Roswell is just that, speculation.

I believe in aliens. Just think about it, a universe without any life other than ours, that doesn't make any sense to me. There is a Bible called the Dakes Bible that approaches lots of subjects that are not in some other Bibles. I am not sure it addresses aliens.

Hi there. According to the Bible UFO`s are not that strange. In Ezekiel you will find a description befitting an UFO description.

. Eze 1:4 And I looked, and, behold,a whirlwind, came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire enfolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst, thereof as the color of amber, out of the midst, of the fire.

Eze 1:5 Also out of the midst, thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man.

read on to the end of this chapter.

Spirit beings are not ETs.

I am an annointed warrior of the Light myself.

Different animals: There is no mention of why He made them different other than He created them each to its kind.

Gen 1:23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

Gen 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

So with man to dominate earth and no other planet:

Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Gen 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the eart

Gen 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

I think you may be in trouble with your understanding of Christianity. Christianity is the belief in Christ and that he is the Messiah. Variation in Church doctrines and Bible interpretation does not lend itself to an all encompassing "Christian View" of Alien (ET) life. Rather accepted views dictated by individual church doctrines would influence this view. Many who would profess to be Christians because of their belief in Christ would have a more scientific view of the existence of alien life or would reflect their individual churches doctrine in this area because the Bible teachings on creation are written in the form of parables.

I am Christian and I believe in aliens... if God created the universe, it is hard to imagine He would waste so much of it.

I think its pretty selfish of people to think that God created only us . the world outside our world is very big, so of course there is life outside our world probally life like ours or better. People just get so closed minded because of religion that they are afraid to actually think for themselves

Well , my personal opinion - Demons will pose as aliens to deceive us in the end of days.

Angels and Demons would be transdimensional beings, not extra terestrials.



take that, and keep in mind I am listening to Art Bell and George Noory right now

I think that theRoman Catholics are the ones passing that along. Most Americans I talk to believe in UFO's. And most of them think that the UFO's are aliens. I saw a UFO, so it would be difficult to convince me otherwise.

Aliens as we know them are really not different people from other planets but rather demons who come to deceive. Their reasons for doing this are vast, but the end purpose is to discredit God and to destruct people whom they hate.



I do hope this helps you :-)
