avemaria40 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 God could have created other planets and extraterrestrial life. The Bible was not meant to be a book on science it's meant to tell of salvation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avemaria40 Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I'm not saying the Bible has error but that science was not the point of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin D Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Hello... it's inerrant, not infallible. I believe there is some form of life out there, but I'm not in the mood at the moment to get into great detail about it. There was a thread about this subject, and it was rather fascinating. It was on the assumption if life existed on other planets, how would the plan of salvation fit in. I don't like how some of the options are worded, it certainly is biased.

As far as I know there's no official position of the Church in this matter. Persoanlly I don't know since I've not seen any Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Galileo also got himself in trouble for doctrinal issues, but strictly in terms of science, the Church was not infallible in it's belief of the earth being in the center of the universe.

Resurrexi Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 Galileo was wrong anyway, so I dont know why you bring him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peach_cube Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Define Aliens. If you mean microbiotic life the answer is yes it is likely. If you mean aliens like E.T. then my answer is no, it is not likely. Also even if there were E.T.'s out there the chances of verifying this are extremelly low even with the most liberal interpretations of the Drake equation. Therefore, I checked c.

But if you're also including the scientific discovery that he made, in which the sun does NOT revolve around the earth, then I will have disagree with you, Einstein.

Resurrexi Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 micorbiotic life is difined as life, so yes, I would consider a microbiotic organism an alien. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
