I do not deny that there are physical manifestations of UFO's and that many people have claimed to have seen them and even been abducted by them. But the issue is not whether these things occur, but what they are.
Research of UFO abductees has led to some interesting discoveries. According to those abducted, the aliens are teaching theology. The curious thing is that the theology is New Age theology; namely, that we are all divine, all evolving to higher levels of consciousness, that reality is what you perceive it to be, etc. These are anti-Christian teachings. In some cases, comments about Jesus himself have been made that directly contradict biblical revelation. I've studied the New Age for quite some time, and a great many people in the New Age not only accept Aliens and UFO's, but teach that they are more highly evolved than we are and that we need to learn from them.
In addition, an inordinately high percentage of the abductees have had previous experience with the occult. I remember when I was younger and into séances, necromancy, psycho kinesis, and astral projection. One night I looked into the sky and saw a very bright light that moved at an extremely high rate of speed and made sudden and sever changes in direction during its flight. It moved extremely fast and accelerated out of sight as it moved high into the night sky and disappeared. I saw this with my own eyes. But it doesn't stop there. During my occult days, I also saw many other unusual manifestations, heard voices, and saw things move. I could go on. But suffice it to say, that I confirm the findings that those who experience UFO phenomena are very often involved in the occult. This is alarming and a major warning.
My conclusion is that the UFO phenomena is occultic in origin and demonically based. I do not believe there is life on other planets and I suspect that what has manifested is nothing more than a great deception that is slowing enveloping mankind.
Recent discoveries seem to be increasing the likelihood of life existing on other planets. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that any of it ever managed to build interstellar spaceships and visit Earth.
I do find some of the ancient astronaut concepts to be kind of interesting. There are many ancient cultures that have myths about "gods", (or in the case of Judaism, "angels"), coming down to Earth and teaching mankind all sorts of things. It seems kind of odd that so many ancient cultures would credit much of their technological advancements to such creatures rather than wanting to take credit for their own accomplishments. Yet these kinds of myths are found in cultures as diverse as the Greek, the Egyptian, the Aztec, the Chinese, and among some African tribes. When such stories are so ubiquitous, its not hard for me to suspect that there might be something behind them.
The "ancient astronaut" theory basically says that all of these myths could be explained as aliens having come down to Earth in the distant past and early humans having decided that they were "gods".
Since monotheism developed from the more ancient polytheistic beliefs, that would mean that if encounters with aliens gave rise to polytheism, then the aliens would also be indirectly responsible for the existence of monotheism.
Therefore, it might actually be correct to say that, rather than God creating the aliens, the aliens created God.
Well, we don't really know, but it is a really, really vast Universe. Hard to imagine it empty.
Of course, since we only have one sample, we have no idea what the probability for the development of intelligence life is. It may be as tiny as the Universe is vast for all we know.
I don't think God created life here, at least not in the caricatural way most people think of when they say that. So the second part doesn't apply.
I think there is life on planets in other solar systems. I doubt that it has visited us here. The distances are too far, and the laws of physics say that it would take lots of time and huge amounts of energy to make it happen.
Google "The drake equation" to see one way to estimate the number of advanced civilizations in the universe.
They are evil ... Just like everything else we don't understand.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<Rolls eyes>
Of course there is other life forms in the galaxy ... of course there is a possibility they got a jump on our life form and are so far advanced that they have overcome the whole "space travel" problem...
Of course we have no idea and we are naive if we think we know ...
<--------- {Still laughing hysterically at those who think they are demons} ... don't you ever get tired of living your life in fear?!?!?!?!

As with "God," the evidence for aliens has yet to arrive.
Unlike "God," the PROBABILITY that aliens exist somewhere in this mega-vast system of galaxies is very high.

i accept the possibility... i don't think god made them though. there's a huge chance that aliens exist.
Yes, think about how big the universe is the ENTIRE universe. and out of all these stars Earth can't be the only one suitable for life.
They are evil ... Just like everything else we don't understand.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aliens are way more likely than god. WAY more likely.
I believe in illegal aliens coming across the border and stealing jobs.
