Why Extraterrestrial Life (alien Life) Will Pose A Huge Problem To Religion by NaijaSatanlst: 2:07pm On Oct 27, 2021
Full disclaimer: All religions are purely man-made.

Earth is just one of trillions of planets out there. There are more habitable earth-mass planets in the observable volume of the universe, than there are grains of sand on all the beaches on earth.

If just one in every 100 trillion earth like planets evolve intelligent, living systems, there could be thousands of civilizations like ours or even more complex than ours out there.

If we ever discover intelligent alien life forms, they will pose a huge problem to most religions. In religions like Christianity, we'd have to ask if the original sin extends to alien life forms. When Jesus died on the cross, did He die for the aliens too? When the aliens die, do they get an afterlife?

If there are lifeforms out there that are way more intelligent than us primates, they'd probably have answers to the questions that currently plague us as a species. Then we have to ask, is religion relevant to them? Why didn't religious books mention them?

What evidence(s) do you have of life in other planets? Or are we safe to conclude it’s a hypothesis at this point.

The probability is high but finding one is another story, space is just too big. The best we can do at the moment is to look for one in our own backyard, and that is what science is doing at the moment. Some of the wet environments a likely candidates and that is the main focus for now

Extraterrestrial theory is another lie from the devil and his fallen angels which they did before the deluge, now they are coming back towards the time of the end....

Hello

I have no option but to ask as many people as possible for financial assistance


I cannot afford a room so I sleep outside


I have nowhere to go


It's worse when I also have to fight anyone that tries to make my request for help futile




Your assistance will be appreciated
