What makes you think that if their is a God, we are the only beings in the universe? I don't understand why people who don't believe in God think religious people don't believe there is life on other planets, because there most definitely is. This universe is too big for just humans.

The Scriptures do not directly address the question of alien beings. The Bible does not explicitly confirm or deny the existence of intelligent life from other planets. Although the subject is not addressed explicitly, the Bible teaches implicitly that the only things He created with intelligence are the angels, man, and the animals.

It is important to remember that the stars and planets were not created billions of years before Earth. According to the Bible, Earth is not the result of billions of years of stellar evolution during which many other planets were created. Earth was created before any other planet or star existed. Earth came into existence on the first day of Creation (Genesis 1:1). God withheld the creation of the Sun, Moon and stars until the fourth day (Genesis 1:14-19). Earth is unique and holds center stage in God's Creation.

Furthermore, the Bible clearly indicates that the fate of the universe (every other planet and star) is forever linked to God's timetable for mankind and the Earth. One day, Christ will return to Earth and complete the final act of man's redemption (2 Peter 3:9-10). He will destroy this present universe and create a new heavens and Earth (2 Peter 3:7,10; Revelations 21:1). All the stars and planets will be destroyed, along with the Earth.

What bearing does this have on the question of extraterrestrial life? The timetable (and the whole reason) for this destruction and re-creation clearly seems to be based on God's plan for us Earthlings. If God had created intelligent life on other worlds, it is hard to imagine that their lives would be calibrated by the failures of Earth's inhabitants. It seems unlikely and unfair that their distant planets would be destroyed by God because of His plan for Earth. The implication of Scripture is that there are no other intelligent beings besides man, animals, and the angels.

Does anyone ever think about time when saying evo is legit.

If so.. Why datum do we still obtain bacon so easy. They haven't evolved lol

But for real. If evo was occurring, why don't we see it today

We do. The idea that we don't is a myth made up by creationists to spread 'disinfo.'

How can you completely throw evolution out of the equation when even the Vatican have said it has its place

That is a species adapting to its environmental changes so it can survive in it

no because its not creating a new species

So explain to me what happens when a species has changed so much to fit its changing environment that it looks nothing like it did 1 million years previously?

ZIGAZAG wrote no because its not creating a new species

Alright.. At this point you are just being an idiot. Evolution does not create new species. Laws of nature tell us that nothing can be created or destroyed.. It just changes.

Evolution is the theory that life changes over time.
If you want actual proof that it happens currently read Origin of Species

Here is the diagram that he uses in the book

Basically what this picture is show is that many different types of finch were found on the same island in different parts. They all obtain food differently so their beaks of changed.
