I think you are right to guard your thoughts and stick to your principles, but at the same time I think it's the pinnacle of arrogance to limit God's universe and what is in it (thereby limiting God Himself). Would really like to hear from you on the question I asked though. I am genuinely curious why you feel this way, and if there is something I missed!
We can't just show up to a dead planet and terraform it into something habitable in a few hours.

Oh really! Now who's putting limits on God. The key to doing that as
I believe is a relationshipwith our Father in Heaven as an Oracle. One
more time Seraph. Am I ARROGANT! Am I limiting GOD?!
Sigh.....Crisis of faith lately Seraph?edit on Rpm31014v51201400000031 by randyvs because: (no reason given)
My faith is very much intact. I don't consider science a threat to it, and I don't consider the notion of alien life elsewhere in the cosmos as being incompatible with it. Not sure whats up with the hostility (or perhaps I am misinterpreting your response and there is no hostility intended).

There are thousands of well recognized facts that we understand about our world and the nature of reality that the bible doesn't talk about. Nowhere do we see the theory of gravity discussed in the book of Acts yet we can observe it in our daily lives. Does the bible not instruct us to embrace wisdom and knowledge?

And what's the difference between microbes and your alien being Seraph? What kind of comparison
are you making? Look at what you're saying? It's ridiculous.edit on Ram31114v17201400000038 by randyvs because: (no reason given)
As for "rushing headlong into hell", I appreciate your concern but its really not your problem where my soul ends up, us it?

I'm saying God would have mentioned other sentient beings and your
reasoning that with, "Well he didn't tell us about microbes" . Are
kidding me! You don't see any difference in that? Palease!
