Here's a bit of good news, maybe if we are lucky they will come here and save us from ourselves.

Just wanted to pop in and say I'm not surprised. My entire family had a close encounter in the mid 70's, way before the movie came out. I've known that we are not alone since I was 8 years old. I doubt seriously that they are going to bail us out of the mess we've made of things, though. I mean, think about it...would you?

Why would it? Do you think religious people believe God is a union member and only works on this planet or something?

So what about Jesus? Or Mohammed? Did they move on to Alpha Centauri after visiting us? Also, it would challenge the god in our image idea that so many people disagree with. There's no question that spirituality could coexist with life on other planets. I just don't see how fundy doctrine (radical christian evengelicals, mullahs) could.

I am angry? Where did you get that?
You're the one spouting off about how I mean nothing to you. Nice attempt to dehumanize me angry dude? :thumbsup:
(That will be my last post on the subtopic of me being angry since it's off-topic).

Jesus and Mohammed are prophets, and I don't see why prophecy would be limited to planet earth and just earthlings if God is omnipotent and omnipresent.
As far as God making us in his image, I can't speak for the fundies but I believe that means that we have a soul, not that God looks human like George Burns or something

ive spoken to some religious folks that believe there cant be other life in the universe as a result of god.
and i am interested to know if that would change anyones view. though i highly doubt it.
it would be interesting to hear if religious groups have any "official" stance on other life.
