[QUOTE]Originally posted by HerbShrump: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Sean: [qb] Awesome. I don't understand those who think we could be the only intelligent life in the galaxy, or even the universe. [/qb][/QUOTE]Just like I don't understand those who think all of this could have happened by accident or chance and not by an intelligent designer. [QUOTE]I have a friend who goes to school at a Bible college which promotes Young Earth Creationism...[/QUOTE]Shudders... so often Christendom's churches and universities try to scientifically explain Creation and all they end up doing is muddying the waters and making a mockery of things. The Bible is not a scientific textbook. Yet, when it does touch on science and the physical universe, it is completely accurate. Sadly most of the churches don't understand or fail to present it as such. I believe in God. I believe we were created by God. However, the teaching that God made the Earth in 6 literal days and that the planet is only a few thousand years old is inaccurate and misleading. That's not what the Bible says. [QUOTE]Your friend seems to want to limit God's power, while thinking he knows God's plan, and place human kind on a pedestal of some biblical sort.[/QUOTE]I got the impression it was the guy Daniel's friend was shouting at/with that had this conclusion. [QUOTE]So why is it automatically assumed that we are NOT the first ones?[/QUOTE]LOL! I've said the same thing. It's become quite a SciFi stereotype that there are "Old Ones" out there and Humanity ISN'T it. [QUOTE]Man it would be lonely to be the first. On the flipside, think of all the unclaimed territory out there...[/QUOTE]Would these "Old Ones" have these same arguments? From their standpoint the universe would still be vast and capable of supporting other civilizations. Would they be arguing that "there's got to be other, older life out there"? After all, someone has to be first. [/QB][/QUOTE]
