Drudge has an article out right now highlighting a theory that we may be the only life in existence in the entire universe....because all the others that previously existed.....'filtered'....themselves out....or in other words....destroyed themselves by one means or another.
The opposite view of course is that there is the possibility for 'trillions' of other life forms out there....the universe being so big.....we just haven't met them yet....'probably'.....as the article adds.
God's Word has a different answer. No matter how big this universe is.....God made it.....and Adam had to be placed somewhere.....and wherever that 'somewhere' was to be....the people would eventually look around and say that surely there are other life forms out there!
So what about the increasing UFO sightings? Well....when one seriously considers alien life because of UFO sightings....it has to work effectively against belief in the Bible....God's Word....and possibly even God Himself.
Now it is possible for one to say....'no.....I believe in the Bible.....but that doesn't mean that there cannot be life elsewhere in the universe.' They can say that....but it makes no logical sense.....for God's Word leaves no possibility of alien life....none.
So what would be the alternatives.....from a Christian viewpoint? Anyone can come up with alternatives on their own....but it would help if one remembers that God also created angels.....and that some of those angels rebelled.....and those rebellious angels would want very much for people....any peoples....to doubt God and His Word. In theory....they would.....if they have the ability....contrive deceptions....and manufacture.....somehow.....UFO sightings....or maybe even visits.
