I see what you're saying, but belief is still part of it... Even "seeing is believing" kinda proves that really. We use belief to make sense of what we experience. Two people can experience something similar and explain it in totally different ways, depending on what they believe. One person may call something a spirit or entity, while someone else may call it a dream, hallucination, or brain chemistry. The experience can still be real without everyone agreeing on what it really means.

When I asked about life beyond our planet, I wasn't really talking about visions or altered states... I was asking whether people believe life exists somewhere else outside this planet. So yes, experience matters, but belief still plays a major role in how we label and understand it.

Ok so you aren't looking for internal experience but rather external ones? Things which happen outside and externally rather than inside and internally right?
That would require physical evidence then.
There is no such thing as 'outside this planet' when it comes to the physical.

As a result any conclusions you draw from this would not hold up in a courtroom. To conclude a trial you need both a statement and physical evidence. One can not be trialed without both simultaneously and you will not be able to draw a conclusion on this topic either because you can't physically get outside your body.

The topics of possibilities have intrigued humans forever though. Your ancestors as far as time enjoyed these types of philosophical discussions also. Maybe this discussion holds up to this day because there are infinite possibilities. Infinite beliefs. Like you said everyone experiences things in different ways.

A better poll though would be to have 'yes and no' but also 'maybe'. The option for 'maybe' still leaves all possibilities open.

If anyone is specifically answering 'yes' or 'no' in your poll that is what they wish they could experience. Much like when we vote in elections people vote for the candidate they wish for without actually knowing the real outcome.

I don't see where anywhere in this thread that "God's truth" is somehow being denied. There's nowhere in the Bible that belief in aliens is somehow disbelieving the Word either...

I'm looking for someone to say whether or not they believe in aliens, basically. Pretty simple thread, really.

I think taking time/attention/belief into something without substance and meaning over your life is pointless no?

God doesn't teach about aliens so I see no point in believing in something that isn't discussed from the creator of our universe.

Was my initial point.

Actually, in the book of Enoch (one of 14 books removed from the Bible), it's suggested that aliens may have been mentioned. You may want to look into it.

Quote (D_urRRR @ Feb 7 2026 03:12pm)

The bible does not confirm aliens. Fallen angels, demons, the Nephilim are also not aliens which are involved in the book of Enoch. The book of Enoch is not part of the Bible either. It isn't in harmony and is not divinely inspired.

Moving on.

The Bible doesn't really mention aliens, but some people claim that in Enoch, aliens may be what was mentioned instead of angels.

Regardless, this isn't a Bible topic or a Jesus topic. This is a fucking aliens topic.

Quote (D_urRRR @ Feb 8 2026 07:57am)

I still stand by my original point. If the God of the universe wanted us having knowledge of aliens or wanted us to pursue to knowledge of aliens, his truth would talk about these things and it doesn't.

The good thing about Jesus, you can apply him to every situation and topic and know how to move forward.
