If it is, remember that God sees ALL that we think and do. He did before we or anyone else existed. He loves EVERY ONE of us. So, only k**l if you or your loved ones are about to be k**led. Maybe k**l to keep the one who is about to k**l you from committing that sin and crime. Murder is not justified. Self defense IS. Let us pray that it doesn't come to that: brother k*****g brother. But remain IN God, no matter what t***spires. Pray always.

I thought that was what it was now...

Careful what you say. A god that sees all and knows all would also know what each of his creations would do before he even created them. That would place the onus on god for what his creation does; so if he k**led god would know he was going to k**l before he even created him...

I'm an insomniac and spend my nights sitting outside stargazing and since I live in the country the skies are pretty clear. Well, I have never seen little green men but I have seen some pretty strange things. Lights moving and changing direction or being blocked out by large geometrical shapes and such things. So, I don't know. Either we are not alone or our govt. is far more advanced than they are telling us.

And you also be careful. The point of life on Earth is not "life on Earth". Our "being" is not merely physical, but spiritual too. Yes, God "knows" what will happen forever. But to, if you will, send someone to Hell because He KNOWS that person is, say, Charles Manson, would be to deny the dignity with which God CREATED that person. "Puppeteering", so to speak. God gives and has given each of us the knowledge and ability to deal with life as it comes. If we do what Christ prescribed, we will enjoy everlasting bliss after we die. But it's our CHOICE, and God respects us enough to allow us to exercise that choice. That's why Christ told us to address God as "Abba". If you raise a child in your best and most conscientious way, are you responsible for his behavior if he is rational and makes his own decisions as an adult? Would you k**l him as a baby if you knew he would become Adolph Hitler? Or would you want him to change, and do your best as you raised him? God KNEW before eternity that Mary would ACCEPT His offer to be the Mother of His Son, Jesus. Yet He ASKED her to through the Angel Gabriel. Life is OUR choice. God doesn't set-us-up for difficulty. Besides, His measure of success or failure is definitely NOT the same as ours. We may be made in His image, but He definitely isn't "made" in ours.

I can’t help but think that it’s extremely selfish of humans to believe that God would create intelligent life Only here on earth.
With all the diversity of life here on earth, and all that room out there in the Universe , it would just seem silly to waste all that real estate.
But then again, God only knows!

I Don't Think It Makes A Bit Of Difference
The Vastness Of Space Being The Reason
No One Is Coming Here, Has Been Here, Or Will Be Here
We Will Never Make It There Either
And There Can't Be A Round Trip

They Can Gab It Up All They Want
But I Don't See A Permanently Manned Station On Mars
Let Alone A Pointless Colony

The dialogue in these types of discussions reminds me of 1 Corinthians 3:19, "The wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight, it is written, He catches the wise in their craftiness." It's fun to let our minds wonder but the Creator has provided us with a lot of knowledge which is obvious if we just look for it. I'm not a follower of Carl Sagan but I doubt if he speaks much of intelligent design, at least favorably. Well, it's time to head for Church. Have a good week.

You have to differentiate between life and intelligent life. Do you really think there is intelligent life here on earth?


But I have read these great discoveries of planets elsewhere that could sustain life. They're always based on some instantaneous flutter of a distant star from some exoplanet passing in front of it. I liken that to identifying someone from ten miles away in the moonlight.

They've even supposed of life existing on one of Saturn's moons from the possible existence of water azt one time. The steps from water to developing hydrocarbons for organic chemicals is akin the a hurricane passing through a junk yard and leaving a 747 behind. Then from organic chemicals to amino acids to life is doing it again and again and again. Possible? Yes. Likely?

Of course we're not alone. Haven't been since the beginning of time. Human minds are just too small to accept that.
