That's bad logic.

But, the Bible doesn't say any of that. Sure, it talks a lot about this planet and about Jesus but it says nothing whatsoever about other planets, occupied or not.
If there's only one planet which is to be inhabited, then why the hell did God waste time & energy creating the billions of stars, galaxies, and planets out there in the universe, most of which we can't even see here on earth, and most which we don't even know about yet?
As far as I can tell, the bible doesn't assert that there was "only one planet made to be inhabited" let alone that other planets even existed.
Which makes sense, goatherds had no fuckin' clue what the hell anything was in the sky when they crafted their mythology.
I've read the comments. It doesn't sadden me (that much) that there are retards like ExaltGod that choose to remain more ignorant than bacteria.
What does sadden and disturb me is that there are so many idiots agreeing with him/her/them. Guess stupidity and ignorance really is contagious.
The bible very clearly points out the existence of other gods. Not "that tribe worships a false god", either. They were shown as existing beings with real power. For example, Pharaoh's priests are able to work the same magic as Aaron.
The bible also says a lot of other stuff that is very wrong, and has demonstrated that it is not a valid reference to reality or morality.
So fundies have something besides trees to point at when they say "but beauty, therefore god!"
This is why my sci-fi Christian-esque religion in my setting, the Catholic (Universal) Messianic Church doesn't have their holy book treated as an immutable object to help incorporate new alien races into the religion. They though aren't above trying to incorporate alien religious beliefs into their own to make it more palatable.
I swear to God, if it exists, if I hear the word bible one more time I'm going to hit someone with a electro-baton.
But we know that's not true because of what the Bible does say exists: only one God, only one heaven and hell, etc. not valid replies.
@Dr. RazarkFor example, Pharaoh's priests are able to work the same magic as Aaron.
'Bible' comes from the Greek word 'Biblios', meaning Book .
Therefore, because of a certain 'Bible' by CS Lewis - a fellow Christian like you - if one were to enter their wardrobe, you'd emerge out the other side into another world where you'd mee ta talking lion.
...amirite?! Better not read the works of HP Lovecraft et al, if you know what's good for you, then. [/The Necronomicon] >:D
The reason the Bible says nothing about other planets is because it was written by men thousands of years ago that never saw outside of their own region, never knew that other planets existed, hell didn't even knew space existed.
There is a rough estimate but not exact of there being one septillion stars in the observable universe. We orbit ONE star we are on ONE planet, to say there is no alien life in our galaxy that has 200 billion stars alone is ignorant.
Wait a minute, so you're saying that you're 100% sure that aliens don't exist, but 100% sure that Yahweh exists?
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Oh, wait, you're serious. Let me laugh even harder. Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
We can know there are no aliens because of what the Bible says: only one Redeemer,
Maybe God learned from the stupid mistakes he made in the OT and the other planets he created life on didn’t have Original Sin and thus wouldn’t need a redeemer.
That would explain why we haven’t heard from him since then, we are just a failed experiment, tossed in the waste bin, while he concentrates on the worlds where it went right.
Sorry, that's not what the Bible says. It says that God says that you should have no other gods BEFORE him, which clearly means that there ARE other gods, but they ought to be lower than him on the God Hierarchy.
The Bible also doesn't speak about only one planet.
Deathly Hallows says "Neither can live while the other survives". Does that mean that Harry Potter lives now, when [SPOILER ALERT] Voldemort is dead?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
