This is what many people are confused about. God also created time. It was dilated a long time ago, not constant like today.
I remember that movie. It creeped me out big time.
"Some of us believe that the evolutionary process was started by God."
....sounds like the most plausible "theory" to me.
JMHO
Should check the caves for Democrats.
Good old movie...
No, not THEM!
This is Them!:
volanos are well known for their labrynths of caves.
Paging Lowell....
Paging Shiaparelli...
Paging Art Bell....
I'm sure those caves lead to "the face." /s
It was likely formed in the same way life on earth was formed. Primordial soup, comets, etc.

I have an alternate paradigm in which Time is but one of the dimensions making up God, and He separated the three variable expressions of Time in order to create the universe of our existence, meshing Time (past, present, future) and Space (linear, planar, volumetric), and the dimension of Life force (will, emotion, mind), and (with the advent of humankind) Spirit dimension. Each dimension has three variable expressions as God meshes them together ... He is Love and Creative; All things are in Him and by Him.
How would finding life on another planet prove one way or another if God exists or if evolution is true? God would have the right to create whatever and whoever he wanted and evolution would still be a theory, or what some would call a philosophy, which of course would also involve faith.
Does Hoagland have anything on this yet over at Enterprise Mission?
ROFL!
He's everywhere!
I don't know if the discovery of life outside of this planet would destroy Christian faith or give the lie to its basic rules and creeds. It would just mean that God made life on other worlds and perhaps gave some forms of life such a hardiness and adaptibility that it could survive even the harsh extremes of space.
I don't see the contradictions between Christian faith and the discovery of ET life. Genesis already speaks of the Nephilum who came from outside of the world to mate with the women of the world, thus upsetting the moral and spiritual balance of the world and filling it with evil and violence. These were probably evil demons who fell with Satan or perhaps ET races aligned with him. So what?
A flying saucer that lands with little grey men is not going to contradict faith, even if the inhabitants of such a craft spew forth a bunch of guff about having observed us a long time and even having interfered with our history,even claiming that Jesus was an alien!
After all...how are we going to verify that what said creatures claim to be the "truth" is really the "truth"?
Just because they said so?
So, it turns out, the "Face" on the surface of Mars is.....Fred Flintstone?
doh... ya got me. 8^)
"Over the hump to Pahrump!"
Not really. Suppose our Bible was written exclusively for our planet. Doesn't mean that there couldn't be creation anywhere else.
Gotta See Post #18 Ping!!!
ROFL!!
