Genesis 2:23 NIV

The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man."


Exactly my point. An entire human being from a rib is even more ridiculous than a human being from a rock. I'm glad you agree that my grand, grand, grand...grandmother was NOT a rib.

The Lord does not want us to leave Earth. I'm sure he has his reasons. I guess we would then believe that we would no longer need God and that we could do anything with our own strength.


Claiming to know God's will, are we? Talk about

man's pride in the self.

Well I claim that God DOES want us to leave Earth. If he didn't, why would he create billions of other stars and planets that we could explore? Wouldn't it make more sense to only have the Sun and Earth orbitting it, with nothing else in the universe? Hard to believe he created the entire universe just so that we would have some nice shiny lights in the night sky.

So yes, clearly he does want us to leave Earth and find other planets to settle. He's even helping us by giving scientists new ideas for exploring space, helping them make discoveries and invent new technology. Surely that's part of God's plan, just like everything else. And you are going to be judged by Him for defying His will and then spreading your blasphemy of how he doesn't want us to do something that he's helping us do.

don't argue with them on their terms...this is a place for discussing science. there is a separate section for discussing religion

I'm glad you agree with my point that my grand, grand, grand...grandmother was NOT a rock but instead God made woman from man's ribs. I'm so glad that you agree with me on that. I mean please, an entire human being from a rock is even more ridiculous than a human being from a rib. It makes sense because God formed woman from man's ribs. God can do anything and everything.

Anyway I'm glad that you agree with me on that point.

The closest we will ever get to live out our ultimate fantasy is through video games like Mass Effect or travelling to the moon. Or maybe even seeing that Movie Wallie might suffice.

If there were no other stars in the Galaxy how could the prophecy be fulfilled? I mean the 3 wise men wouldn't have a bright star in the sky to find baby Jesus in the manger. The stars lining up on the greatest day in the history of the Earth wouldn't have happened either. Using star navigation would be impossible with no guide in the sky.

While you can merely see shiny lights in the night sky there is more to it than that. Scientists believe that many meteors have crashed into planet Earth over the trillions of years. Those meteors carried with them minerals and that is how life came about. The evidence is the big craters that we have. Now if we only had the sun all the way up to Pluto and no meteors, how could life on Earth be possible? Obviously the meteors came from beyond Pluto.

If humans were spread out apart all over the Galaxy, when Jesus returns the prophecy of Revelation, how would it be fulfilled? We must all be in the same spot, the same planet otherwise there would be no way the prophecy can be fulfilled.

Since this is the science section, you can get pretty good young cells from the rib marrow. Even humans can clone. Think of how much more God can do.

About your last point,

Man gets cut off at the end of the age before he can leave this planet. He set it up this way. It's why we are living in the end times now.

He's coming back.

Why are so many people obsesed by life on other planets. Is it to learn from other types of intelligent life? What is it do we really need to learn?
These things we want to learn, can't we learn them here on earth, by ourselves?

By the way, no, humans are not alone in the universe. There are thousands and millions of other existing specices and guess what! They are even closer than you think.
Yes! They are here, on our own planet: earth. We can find millions of forms of life as intelligent as ourselves and sometimes even more.
What? More intelligent? Is he going crazy? No! Think about it: being intelligent doesn't mean being able to build supermachines or babylon towers. Being intelligent means being able to live in peace and harmony. Without harming anyone or anything. Is that right?
Take a look at nature: everything is perfectly organized and so simple at the same time. Yes! Look at horses: observe how they live. And cats: observe how they feel everything. And dolphins: observe how they behave and communicate. And even ants: observe how they all work together.
Don't you see the point I am talking about? Intelligence is everywhere. It only depends on how you look at it.

So finally, why are so many people obsesed by the idea of finding life elsewhere else ? Why do they always need to search somewhere else? Why don't they finally start trying to understanding how things work here? If there would be a perfect place to learn about life, it would definitely be here, on earth and nowhere else. Thank you!


And cats how they ferociously attack and torture a mouse, then eat it alive.

Why?
Out of pure interest. What more do you need to want to look? I personally find it all fascinating. Just because you know they're out there shouldn't stop you from being curious as to what they're like, and what they look like.
AmIright?

I don't know if you know this but Earth cannot sustain life at the current way things are going...
