It is not funny. “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this Book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this Book”. It is not funny at all.

The Bible does not address alien life yet you somehow claim to know that God didn’t create it. Where is this added scripture that gives you such divine wisdom? Again - some matters are known only to God. We may not ever know whether there is or is not alien life.

I agree the Bible makes no explicit statements as to the existence or non-existence of extraterrestrial life, intelligent or otherwise. For that reason, Christians would have nothing to fear if alien life were truly discovered. However, starting from Scripture, we see that earth is the focus of God’s plan; earth existed before other heavenly bodies, was the site of Jesus’ death and resurrection; and is the centerpiece of the new creation in Revelation 21. Furthermore, nearly all the hype we hear about finding alien life comes from evolutionists or those with compromised, New Age-like perspectives on God; if one holds to a biblical worldview, he sees the astonishing lack of evidence for extraterrestrial life—especially considering how actively man has searched for it for decades. Thus, there is not only no reason for the Christian to believe aliens exist, but reason for the Christian to believe aliens don’t exist.

God created the entire universe. God’s Son Jesus Christ came to Earth as a human being, the “last Adam,” (I Corinthians 15:45-47) to die for all human beings who, like their real common ancestor—the first Adam—are sinners. We also know from God’s Word that the whole creation groans with corruption (Romans 8:21-22) under the curse of man’s sin. Thus the theological position of extraterrestrial intelligent life would cast aspersions on God’s character, as such beings would be reaping the guilty whirlwind of man’s sin without access to the grace of Christ.

This is ridiculous. You are telling me that stating God did something He never said He did isn’t adding to His word? That is the very definition of adding to His word!

Logically, if there is intelligent life out there then the message of the New Testament would be false; thus believing in aliens borders on blasphemous. I don’t need a special verse telling me there are no aliens, I trust God’s word and lean on His understanding, not my own. Read Job, Isaiah...they both discuss the glory of God throughout the universe, revealing many of its secrets, zero mention of alien life.
