[Just out of curiosity, if they discovered extraterrestial intelligence, would that disprove the bible?]
Great question...First, nothing will ever disprove the Bible...Ever! Second, the Bible doesn't really say that there aren't other worlds. I don't think that there are ET's but you never know. *Eerie music*

Nothing will disprove the bible. Yeah. Insects with four legs, talking snakes, whales as fish, bats as birds...
"nothing will ever disprove the Bible...Ever!"
Really? So, there IS a flying roll which burns the houses of thieves? There was a wooden boat which preserved all animal species through a world-wide flood? People are resurrected from the dead? PI=3? The earth is flat? And on and on and on... Just because you say it with an exclamation point, that doesn't make it true.
Many things disprove/discredit the Babble, including the Babble itself.
To her credit, her agnosticism about the existence of ET sounds nearly reasonable (it would be even more reasonable if she specified "ET intelligence able to establish contact with us", but you can hardly expect that much from a Twit4Christ).
Classic fundie moves.
"The bible is never wrong." (even though it is)
Swell. Then you know what? I'm the messiah. THat's right, the bible doesn't say that I'm NOT the messiah, so it's good enough for me!

Except for a little thing non fundies like to call reality.
Nothing will ever disprove the bible... ever! Oh, except science. And history. Yea, but being a fundie, you're allergic to those anyway.

Thats because proof involves facts in the real world, and the bible has no connection to the real world.
"Theme from E.T." is not eerie music!
And isn't the usual argument against ETs the fact that they aren't mentioned in the Bible? Only Earth is mentioned; only Adam and Eve, and their descendants, are mentioned in the Bible. The Americas aren't mentioned; Japan isn't mentioned; Australia and Antarctica aren't mentioned.
Thus the only place that must exist on the face of the earth is the Middle East.
Every populated planet has it's own Jeb's (or it's the same and he just had to go through cross torture multiple times)though the King James Babble is good on EVERY planet!
I think Tiffany09 should actually have said:
Oo, Tiffany may well be on the verge of calling down upon her head the Holy Wrath of Brother Glandy upon her head for suggesting there MIGHT be alien beings after all! Everything was made, just for us! *shock* How ungodly!
Alien Anal Probes for Jesus. Careful of the head in there!
What's the point of even arguing for the merits of the Bible if you refuse to consider that it could be disproven? That is like saying, "I am going to believe in it even though all I really have is my blind faith and even though it could all be based on utter tripe". What self-respecting human could bear to admit to something like that?

Sure. Any time evidence is presented, fundies just make stuff up out of thin air to explain it. The Gospel of John calls Bartholomew Nathaniel? No problem. He must have had two names and was called Bartholomew by some people and Nathaniel by others. Judas died by hanging himself and also by falling headlong and splitting open? No problem. He must have hanged himself, and then his dead body somehow flipped over and he fell head first and split open.

Thanks for letting me know up front that it would be completely futile to try and argue with you.
Wait, 500 years ago the Church actually burned the first westerner to suggest other planets...
As stupid as it is, probably a rare example of a fundie NOT living in the dark ages.
Still, stupid nonetheless.
They just won't accept that their bible has already been disproven in reference to the physical world...unprovable mythical speculations in other areas, are their last frail hopes for any validity.
"...doesn't really say there aren't other worlds." It "doesn't really say" a shitload of things that are considered important, valuable, or even useful.
But then again, bronze-age goatherders had their own heirarchy of "knowledge".
Ah yes. The anti-God-of-the-Gaps argument. If it's outside of the Bible, any omission, hole, or weak point is reason for it to be immediately scrapped.
However, in the Bible, it just means God wasn't ready for us to have the knowledge yet, or flat out "Well just because he didn't say it doesn't mean he said it wasn't."
Na, it would not disprove the Bible. It would make it less credible, if the only intelligent life in the Universe is this shit splat rock, then that would be a very important thing for your god to leave out.
*Elevator music*
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
