Alright, y'all, one of the weirdest things to me is, is this idea that aliens are demons.
Where's the evidence, Sherlock?
Now, I must admit to being a bit baffled by this claim. So, let's start with a few things. The first one is this, why do some Christians say that?
Now, for my own view one aliens, I take the Fermi paradox for my own position; Where Are All the Aliens? - Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World.
Also, extraterrestrial life apparently did exist on Mars at one point; NASA Discovers ‘Clearest Sign’ Yet of Ancient Life on Mars in a Rock Studied by the Perseverance Rover
By the way, does this therefore mean that microbial life on Mars is also demonic?
Anyway, my own belief is that aliens exist, but, we'll probably never meet extraterrestrial alien life.
At least, not any time soon.
So, do I believe in alien abductions?
Maybe!
Thinking about it, I might have to make this a two parter.
But, let's look at what The Bible says (I might use a different version for part II, and, by the way, part II might not be the next article).
Alright, let's go to Genesis 1:26-29,
“Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth”
So, God created man in his own image, in the image of God, he created him;
males and female he created them.
And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth. And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food”.
Okay, notice what it doesn't say?
Anything, one way or the other, about God creating life on other planets.
Now, because I'm basing this on, well, basically on a draft outline, I haven't had time to go through everything, but, y'all, aliens are not demons. Stop saying they are.
And please, look out for part two! (Probably not going to be my next article).
Anyway, please check out this episode of Jimmy Akin's mysterious world in the meantime;It’s Always Alien-Demons? (UFOs, Extraterrestrials, Demonology) - Jimmy Akin's Mysterious World
