Logic in religion? That’s your first mistake there.
It’s really stupid to not believe in aliens given the size of the universe.
It’s really stupid to believe aliens visited earth given the size of the universe.
What about the American people constantly complaining about aliens illegally entering their country? Explain this!
Those are 2 completely different statements.
It wasn’t a refutation. It was added information.
Sorry I was not 100% sure so I figured I’d respond just in case.
Yeah the idea that aliens exist but haven’t been here yet is basically the plot of the awesome series
I also agree with this statement, although it’s well within the realm of possibility that life on Earth was seeded by an ancient extraterrestrial civilization. That’s a timescale of a few billion years.
But it’s still not as stupid as thinking that the supreme creator of the infinite universe has a personal interest in how you live your life.
That would make some sense if not for overwhelming proof of evolution of both, animals and nature that started out with pretty much nothing
People who are interested in aliens and UFOs rarely solely make this argument. Often, they’ve encountered or somehow know of these aliens.
If aliens haven’t been to earth, how come all the bigots keep bitching about illegal ones? 🤔
I’d believe it when I see evidence. Otherwise it’s just a possibility.
alien doesn’t necessarily mean sapient, humanoid or even anything larger than a walnut. if you took life on earth as a sample of the universe it would be much more likely for an alien lifeform to be a plant or bacteria. and even an animal is more likely to be an insect than a mammal-like animal, much less anything humanoid.
(someone should look into the numbers my source is just vague memory at this point)
Ancient alien theorists say yes
Also given the scale of time of the universe. We as humans have only existed for a small amout of time on the vast scale of things.
Countless alien civilizations may have existed and destroyed themselves, and may others may have not come into existence yet.
I swear this post is straight from 9gag. It feels like it was made 15 years ago…
15 years ago it was mostly lolcats and rage comics.
Well God is an alien, by definition.
He’s supoosedly everywhere, but i don’t think he has any papers, he’s an illegal alien
Deport Jésus (Christ)!
Maybe god wasn’t capable of creating aliens…
Maybe God created the speed of light to keep players region-locked.
God is all powerful, but only up to and limited too creating one sentient life form
I don’t think sentient is the word you’re looking for, as animals have sentience.
In my younger years I tried to make sense of the ‘God created humans’ thing by envisioning lots of aliens species with lots of gods, each catering for their own pets. Then I wondered if these gods would compete over who had the best pet, or would go to war with each other.
My experience with random processes: on large scales, things either happen 0 times or many times. So I find the idea that life exists in only one place pretty implausible.
Define life
A lot of Christians will say no to believing in Aliens but because they believe God created humans and gave us the universe.
Or in a similar vain, because aliens aren’t mentioned in the Bible they don’t think they are real.
Does the Bible mention Mario kart
I’m not at all saying this is how I feel.
I was raised a Christian and considered myself one until I reached the age of reason. So I have some insight into how they think.
Well I’ve never seen air. Nor oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, the list goes on and on. I’ve never seen Ukraine, but I do believe there is some awful shit going on over there.
But you’ve certainly directly interacted with all of them in some form or another.
Interesting logic or backstory?
What is a category error? I’ll try Basic Philosophy again for 400 Alex.
Trump: Look at me, look at me!
If humans are born of the universe, and humans are sentient. Is the universe not its self sentient.
The universe created life, and life experiences the Universe. The universe is thus aware of its self.
This video depicting the concept of the Universe as a egg may also blow your mind.
The moon is not sentient.
- Humans are born of the universe.
- Humans are sentient.
- Therefore, the universe is sentient.
Your conclusion does not follow your premises. Just because one thing has an attribute does not mean the thing that came before it has that same attribute. See:
- Humans are born of the universe.
- Humans are supposed to have two arms and two legs.
- Therefore, the universe is supposed to have two arms and two legs.
Iamverysmart atheists understanding the nuances of religion and faith being an inherently irrational yet human response to existential dread challenge (impossible)
The post is actually by a theist that believes in aliens, and wants others to do so too
human response to existential dread
I realize this was likely not intended, but you’ve ironically removed most of the nuance in why religions came to exist in this statement lol.
