Re: Would an Alien be a God ?
LOL you guys obviously never read the Bible.
God made worlds and peoples without number.
So an "alien" landing here is basically just like us, he was created by God.
Depending on what religion you believe in he started out in the same exact place we did, his spirit just happened to go to another one of the worlds that was created.
There is also no set timetable on when these worlds were created so who knows how long they have been in existance, or what physical, or for lack of a better word "environmental" differences they have.
The one constant is that everything in the universe is based on a single element...Carbon. EVERYTHING has it in it, that is pretty telling if you ask me.
But again, depending on what religion you believe in we are going to all end up in the same place and filtered into seperate post mortal existances in some degree of heaven. (that's also in the Bible by the way) As long as you figure it out when faced with the facts you will attain some glory, even if you live horribly on Earth. The only people that go to "hell" or get cast out with Satan and his 1/3 are people that lived lives on Earth that are beyond repentance, and those that at the time of judgement rebuke God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit even when they KNOW for a fact that they are real. The only inforgiveable sin....denying the existance of the Holy Spirit even when you can see him with your own two eyes.
My way of thinking sooner or later we will all figure out which side was right and which side was wrong. For my money I hope I am right, or at least partially right. I would hate to think God could be what some of these religions portray him as. But that is the problem people have, they try to humanize something that cannot be humanized.
Even with Jesus Christ, he came to earth in human form(as prophesised), he lived a life, he NEVER sinned, his sole purpose on earth was to prove the attonement and fulfil it, and people still doubt his existance, and or try to make him into something like you see on the Discovery Channel or History channel. That is human nature in a nutshell. People try to destroy things they don't undertsand or reduce things to a level they might be able to comprehend. So they try to take Jesus and turn him into a regular guy who was married to a women of ill repute, and had kids, and fathered a Godly "bloodline".
The smartest people with the biggest computers and all the data of all the "smart" people can't prove anything. Can't prove how the universe started, can't prove how man came from apes, can't prove why things evolved the way they did.
Pick up a Bible and read some of it, there are some things in there that are happening right now that that thing predicted. Whether you belive it or not, and whether you believe it was written by God through men or not, the predictions and prophesies made in there are coming true. Even in the editted version that the (Catholic) Council Of Nicea put forth is pretty scarey, I would hate to read all the other books and prophesies that didn't make it in. But then again if you believe in prayer and faith then you can get the basic answers there as well.
The minute details don't matter. There is along time to learn, and no one on this earth in their mortal life will come close to attaining "truth".
