So Where Are The Aliens ?

How old are you, 12?

Considering the vast number of likely planets in the infinite universe, it is logical to assume that intelligent life would have evolved on many of these. Yet we are never visited by any aliens, which perhaps is not surprising considering the vast mind bogling distances, but also interestingly the universe is also eerily silent so far. Not the slightest peep of radio transmissions etc. Makes me wounder why. Other thoughts ?
1) Life didn't evolve. It was created by God.
2) It's not feasible that we are the only people in the universe.
3) If you look at Revelation, the New Jerusalem that descends out of
Heaven is a cube. A perfect cube 1,200 miles on a side with 12
foundations, which may be like 12 floors on a large office building,
meaning each floor is around 100 miles high. It has doors only on the
sides (east, north, west, south), not the top or bottom, and three on
each side. The Bible describes our world being harvested at the end of
the age (a crop of man, so to speak).

If you use what God has given us on this Earth like a guide, and you
recognize that we have fields and farmers and crops that are harvested,
and they all come together in central grain storage areas, then it may
be that all of the solar systems out there are like ours, growing up a
crop of man. And there would be other kinds also which are not for
those like us.

It's a possibility.

But regardless, aliens do not exist. They would be demons that are
deceiving people. The Bible is replete with lying demons. It does not
mention aliens one time, and is not part of our experience here on this
Earth. It makes for good Sci-Fi, but is not real.

I urge you all to go to the Bible for yourself and study these things.
God has given us scientific, reasoning minds for a reason. They are not
to abandon God in our thinking and consideration of things. We are to
include God and actually let Him lead us by what He has revealed.

The rest is pure speculation.

And I caution each of you: There is an absolute enemy of God at work in
this world. Evil spirits. Invisible to our eyes, but you can see them
at work in people, by ideas, by tempting certain people to be evil and
do things, and it's not just like Hitler evil, but also those who would
divorce their spouse, be deceitful, cause harm to others, be belittling,
etc. All of these things are contrary to God and God's teachings. They
are the influence of the enemy against us in this world. They push
ideas and thoughts and feelings and emotions into our flesh. The only
way to combat them is by turning to God, asking Jesus to forgive your
sin, being born again of the spirit (John 3), and then having the new
spirit nature which is then able to recognize and understand spiritual
things, dividing their lying spirit guidance from God's true spirit
guidance, which is present in the Bible throughout, but cannot be
understood in that way without first being forgiven for sins and gaining
your own spirit to discern them.

It all sounds complex and unreasonable at first, but go through it in steps:

1) Do you have sin (by God's standards)?
2) You need to be forgiven. Jesus was given us for that reason.
3) Ask Him to forgive you.
4) Watch your life rewrite itself from the inside out.

That's the power of the spirit at work in your life. It's why new
Christians change so much. But the enemy regroups and comes back, which
is why you must follow-through and stay in church and stay close to the
word your new spirit can understand.

God has so much to reveal to us. We see only as through a glass darkly
presently. But He has promised to show us everything on the other side.
