They know better than anyone the negative impact it would have on many. |
We don't know if one has been discovered. All we have is conjecture. Key phrase "We don't know." Area 51. |
exactly. but there is a much better chance of aliens than of the folk tales written about in religious books.
So if someone discounts the possibility of aliens yet believes in the pearly gates
I would think that person isnt that enlightened. Science opens up the possibility of ET's, however i dont know if it does the same for a place called heaven or whatever its referred to in the different books. |
Science and religion are water and oil, the two don't mix. Science is based on fact, religion based on conjecture. I don't think that to be a good analogy. |
My point is that millions of people believe in religion but would scoff at the thought of aliens being real. because if they believe aliens are real it kills the idea that we were created in gods image.
This is why I say the govt would try to hide any possible findings. For the open minded finding out there are aliens would be an OMFG , wow moment but believable.
For the devout it would change everything. Industries would fall, some who need religion for purpose or support would have to rethink everything they have been taught. |
Sorry, but to me, that is as far out at the edge of the universe. You're speaking for millions, millions you know nothing about. What gives you that authority?
You don't know what the people of whom you speak really believe, you're assuming and you know what assume does, makes an Ass out of U and ME |
I don't know why you are arguing so vigorously against the obvious. Of course the discovery of intelligent, alien life would rattle the ideals of the religious. I mean, they claim that dinosaurs aren't real despite mountains of evidence to the contrary. Do you really think they are just going to sit back and say, "Oh aliens . . . yeah, makes total sense!"? |
I'm arguing from the premise of we don't know. We don't know if there's intelligent life in the universe or not. We don't know if aliens exist or not. I'm not in a position to speak for millions of people I don't know. How do you? How you arrive at a definite conclusion of how millions feel to me is an assumption, you don't know. I understand it might rattle the ideals. I'll concede that. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Isn't religion one big assumption that god exists despite no supporting evidence? Isn't one of the tenants of relgion is that humanity is special, more specifically people that follow that religion. You don't think that if somehow we were visited by intelligent aliens it would completely invalidate the core doctrine of pretty much every religion? _________________ Don't let perfect be the enemy of good |

I think religious people would attribute that the existence of aliens would be of Gods making. I don't know, I think |
but doesnt the book also say we were created in his image? If so aliens would be far superior beings.
Was earth first or second? |

Were aliens also created in his image? What is his image? Aliens may look like us. They may not be the little green men we see in comic books. Or creatures like those in War of the Worlds.
There you go again, making assumptions. You've never seen an alien, how do you know they're superior? You make statements that are definite. I'm from the book of I don't know.

I'm not a biblical expert but heavens sounds more like the biblical version of heaven rather than the universe as we know it. Moreover how do we know the bible is even correct? Simply going back to some verses in the bible does nothing seeing how inconsistent and contradictory it is to itself. What about the other hundreds of other religious texts that tells different versions of creation? They can't all be right. _________________ Don't let perfect be the enemy of good |

Unfortunately, lots of tech has been kept from civilians. Until about 20 years ago, GPS accuracy in civilian devices was intentionally degraded by the government. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

Young Earth Creationists are idiotic. There are alot of Christians out there that can reconcile what's in the Bible with science. Pretty much they chalk up stuff like Earth being made in 7 days as Moses having limited ability to understand what God was telling/showing him.
Like if you tried to explain the world to an ant. And then that ant tried to write and explain what you showed him to other ants.
The dinosaur and evolution beef Young Earth Creationists have is pretty similar to when members of the church clung to a story of the sun moving backwards 10 degrees to argue against heliocentrism. _________________ "Every hurt is a lesson, and every lesson makes you better”

It means the skies and beyond. The real incompatibility is the passion play that is the heart of the Bible, that we are part of a bet between god and satan, and are the only world he’s allowed to “tempt”. So it would t be logical that the perfect and sinless beings from other worlds/realms would be allowed to travel here and screw up the game. _________________ “We must always take sides.

We don't know. Religion is faith. You have it or you don't.
The bible is very contradictory. It also has a fear element. I don't know where it's written but I've heard the phrase fear of God.

Except they don't. They deny they ever existed, even to the point of claiming that God put dinosaur fossils on Earth as a test of faith. They also go so far as to deny evolution in order to separate Man from the rest of the creatures of the planet.
But you have this bizarre notion that the religious are simply going to accept the notion of aliens from another planet (there is only one Earth in the bible) as being another creation of God . . . that's just utterly ridiculous. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know
