Being religious I suppose yes I do believe in Aliens but not the whole martian driving a ufo etc that movies lead us on with

Basically like a game of chinese whispers stories change the more people tell them things get exaggerated or told wrong

If i was reading a book where some lady was visited in her home by an alien who told her its master was to impregnate her womb where its offspring would go she would have to bring this offspring up until it knew who it actually was and it would spread a message across the world of how to be saved if they got to know its master and it would have to be killed in order to save them that would creep me out

If we change that to the book being the bible, the lady to mary; the alien to the angel gabriel, the offspring to Jesus and its master to God then that is something I would be able tp get my head around

Which to think of is quite strange, most of us if religious can get around some of the strange things that occured in the bible and things like angels

But cant get our heads around aliens

But to be honest I reckon they could maybe be the same

I believe angels did visit people especially in bible times and obviously for most people that would have been hard to understand so as the story went on like a chinese whisper this subject turned to aliens, if you think about it the words alien and angel arent too different if it were a game of chinese whispers and we know what power angels had so maybe thats why people feared aliens

As for the universe, the bible mentions numerous times how God can name every single star he very much cares for the universe, when we think of heaven where do we picture it? There are myriads of angels too so where would these reside thinking how powerful they are, im starting to think thats what the rest of the universe is for

If you take the religious aspect out of it there has to be other intelligent lifeforms, our technology alone has seemed to come from nowhere its crazy the level of technology we have now compared to say 15/20 years ago. We carry robots around in our hands every day your probably holding one now reading off it. Who would have thought say 30/40 years ago we would be at that stage, if we saw back then what technology we had today we probably would even call ourselves alien

So it isnt really that hard to get your head around that other intelligent lifeforms exist

I mean i hope so, millions of us spend hours talking about a bunch of people we have never met on holiday together wondering whether they are each others types on paper meanwhile turning a blind eye to war, refugees, starvation, poverty and homelessness as its simply not that important to us...so yeah i hope there is other life out there as im losing hope with the human race
