Hi TBL, The bible never says that there is not life on other planets. Then, there are a few scriptures that make you wonder, like these: NASB Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared [Gen ch 1; Ps 33:6, 9; Heb 6:5; 2 Pet 3:5] by the word of God, so that what is seen [Rom 4:17] was not made out of things which are visible. Amplified Bible Hebrews 1:2 [But] in the last of these days He has spoken to us in [the person of a] Son, Whom He appointed Heir and lawful Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time [He made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order]. (emphasis mine) There was a movie years ago called Enemy Mine that dealt a bit with the idea that Jesus had visited other planets as well as ours. Personally, I think that it would be very consistent with God's creative nature to have made other races to know him too. Peace, Nate |
