    What would happen to RELIGION not GOD people. Michael is not saying that to believe in aliens would mean that they take the place of God. If aliens did seed the earth it just blows away the whole biblical Adam and Eve theory which really should be no big deal since the church itself does not follow much of the OT anyway.

    People who don't believe in the existence of alien life forms are ignorant. It's not even a matter of believing, it's a mathematical\statistical fact.

    Could your show the mathematical equations and statistics on this for us, please.

    To Bob\PKB: As I hope you already know, our planet is orbiting around the sun, as well as 7 other planets. There are 200 billion Sun-like planets in our galaxy with a few planets orbiting each sun and there are more than 100 billion galaxys out there in the universe. We have discovered only 0.00000000000001% of the stars in the universe and in that 0.0000000000001% there is intelligent life. so you can do the math yourself, it's not complicated.

    Reviewing your argument 4 years later, in my apparent ignorance, I don't see anything concrete in your answer but presumptive assumption.....we presume to assume?

    Good news.  People would stop blowing themselves up in order to get to the supposed promised 72 virgins.

    Wouldn't it be a trip if the first thing they did was recite John 3:16. I believe, you don't, now what? Answer: Nothing.

    You mean my mother-in-law is a alien after all We will stop at the higher Intelligence bit my Imagination is going haywire.

    what do you mean by THEY in your question? This is hypothetical and subject to anyone's imagination. So I'd say nothing will happen to religion. God is truth and ultimate intelligence.

    Well said. But I know that there's a pheonix!

    well if they put us here, would not that be god? also if that happened religion would probably change radically, because it does go somewhat against what most of us christians were taught . . . i think. there are rumors that many presidents in the united states have known about ufo coming to earth for years, but they don't want to admit it to the public because they fear it will upset religion and society in general. what do i know? this is only what i saw on tv documentaries.

    I think to some aliens are a religion,sorry but god is of the highest intelligence and aliens only exist in misguided minds as well as pheonix..

    I believe In God that created every thing in,than there is a devil or Satan by name. Have you not been tautgh/? scripture taught that His duty was to deceive the whole world by His cunning and Aliens deception You need to studied the scripture and not get wrap up in His Pheonix stuff to fool you in other crap  In the scripture has forward that the whole world will be deceive by His magic powers given for a short time.Do not let him still your believe,only fool will fall in this trap I't is we that being put through the test of time,And keeping God close to your hearth..

    Sounds like a sequel to "War of the Worlds". 
    Some would waiver. Some would bow and serve. Some would freak out. Some would continue to believe as they always have. What would YOU do, michael nicholson?
    As for me and my house, we will follow the Lord. (Bible reference)

    Great ans "Bob" as for me and my house we will follow the Lord! you can kill my body,but you can't kill my spirit.If God doesn't save me I;ll still will not bow down to their God's.
    Bob/PKB

    Thanks, facebook. :D

    everything, i mean everything would change overnite.  and don't let it be told on the 6:00 news.  that's what humans in the U.S. go by.  Anything can happen in the world, but if its not on the 6:00 news nobody believes it.  ufo's could land on the white house. not on the 6:00 news, not true.  Anything on the news we have been conditioned to believe.

    What's the old adage? Oh yeah, "Take everything with a grain of salt".

    the question was re a higher intelligence
    and in saying that were does the theory of adam and eve stand and the of the worlds religion
    tabber

    that would be the logical answer. but religion does not deal in logic. i love god.

    No, that would just make them superior to us in intelligence but it would not make them God/s.

    " Sure makes for a great novel & or movie." :)

    It looks like someone's been watching Ancient Aliens on History Chanel. To tell you the truth that theory does hold some water and I believe it will be much, much more widely accepted in the not so distant future.


    On the other hand there is nothing you could tell a believer who has prayed and received answers to many prayers their entire lives that their faith or God isn't real. Honestly I can't tell you what God is or who He looks like, but I know Jesus is real and nothing could ever change my mind. It's just the fact that I time and time again God has answered my prayers and I have seen a miracle with my mom recovering from cancer, etc. etc.


    So to me it wouldn't change anything, probably the same to anyone who has had similar experiences... Great question though, thumbs up...
