Is beliving in Aliens wrong?

[apothanein kerdos]

There is most likely life on other planets - however, the question is, is this life simply cells and other types of life, or is it intelligent?

I highly doubt we'll find intelligent life anywhere else in the universe - I have no doubt we'll find life (non-intelligent) elsewhere in the universe.

I am an ALIEN!!!

To answer the OP's title question:

It depends on what you consider constitutes "believing in". It can become an idolatrous preoccupation which serves only to distract you from knowing and following after God, or it could be the acceptance of the theory that these so-called aliens are demonic machinations, which you must quickly put into perspective. The former would constitute a sinful diversion away from God, and the latter would be a wise assumption.

Why would you be doubtful that intelligent life existed somewhere else in the universe? The universe is a big, big place.

I do not believe we are being visited by aliens from other planets. However, I do believe that we are just one part of God's glorious creation. There are all manner of spiritual beings, which some might consider to be "aliens."

Well, we could argue whether or not there is intelligent life on this planet.

I think Floatingaxe and others put it well in saying that it would be wrong if it started to interfere with your relationship with God; as was said before, I could see atheists or people of the anti-christ for instance, using aliens to dismiss the possibility of God, since they aren't mentioned in the Bible and perhaps, if aliens do exist, then the Bible is wrong, etc. Or, because there is intelligent life out there, then perhaps it would support evolution and no God, science trumps religion, because they might lie and say that aliens created us or something crazy like that.

It would be neat if they did exist. Then you'd have to wonder how they handled the Adam and Eve situation, if they lived without sin. Which is weird, thinking of it that way anyway.
