This is what separates the doubting minds with the true believers. If something doesn't make sense the doubters will use that as an excuse and not investigate the matter further. The true believers will ask the questions to the Preachers and get a reasonable answer and keep on investigating until they get to the bottom of it and find the answer that they are looking for.
An answer that does make sense. I know of 3 people off the top of my head, no make that 4 that I can go to and ask that question. What will you be doing?
the culture of the Lutheran and Catholic religions have basic principle not to question the sacred scriptures. (based on the law of fear)
God gave us free will and knowledge, I believe that questioning healthy within a logical reasoning and common sense is important.
remembering that blind faith is extremely dangerous. (believe all that is said and written this without going through the sieve of reason)
a simple question:
ask your pastor, priest, missionary, elder or any other religious leader if he believes there lives (material or immaterial) on other planets.
the answer is that this is the mystery of God and we should not question.
sorry if my words sounded harsh, my intention is to bring the matter to a logical understanding, using our current knowledge.
