I have been thinking about extraterrestrial life recently, and was wondering about what y’all think of it all. Do aliens exist, or are they just another piece of nonsense on this lonely planet? I personally think they should be, in some form, real. This is why I think that: (a) This universe is HUG…

one thing i will say is i don’t think aliens are flying drones over New Jersey in the USA. No offense to New Jersey.

[image] charlie: I mean, there is SO MUCH we don’t know and maybe we really do live in a simulation where life is only allowed to arise once and then the aliens or God or whoever just watch to see if we can spread across the universe or not. As a creationist, this is my personal view. I belie…

Aliens? I never give them even a moment’s thought.

My personal opinion is that alien life is extremely unlikely. I am a Creationist Christian, and believe aliens are basically a fantasy of evolutionary thinking. Sure, it’s possible, but the Bible and aliens don’t line up. And, if aliens are real, we should a) expect to find them at some point in the…

[image] isopodguy: The Bible (which I believe to be true) says that the sun, moon, stars, and planets were created for signs and seasons, and days and years (Genesis 1.14). I don’t see anything in that sentence that implies aliens don’t exist.

No, it doesn’t say that aliens don’t exist. I was just giving a reason why God would create stars and planets. None of the Bible says anything about aliens, but I agree with what @reclassifier said. [image] reclassifier: the Bible and aliens don’t line up

Has anyone mentioned the late Dr. William Romoser yet? He felt confident enough there are bugs and reptilioid creatures on Mars to present it at an Ent Soc conference: https://www.sci.news/space/insect-reptile-like-life-forms-mars-07830.html

[image] isopodguy: The Bible (which I believe to be true) says that the sun, moon, stars, and planets were created for signs and seasons, and days and years (Genesis 1.14). Well, i guess i mostly just sidestepped most of the metaphysical views, because they are belief based and can’t generall…

interesting idea, i don’t think it’s true, but would be interested to see if an AI trained on fossils, or even the iNat AI , thought anything of it, to remove the human bias for seeing living things when they aren’t three.
