Any Christian should believe in extraterrestrial life. From cover to cover, the bible describes highly advanced beings capable of moving through interstellar space and whose abode is not on this planet.

I once found a copy of James Earl Jones reading the bible on audiotape; maybe this would explain it? But William Shatner would be more appropriate.
Or are you from Heaven's Gate?
To #508992: That would be Gene 7-34.
I'm inspired to make lulz.

"We are the Yahweh. Lower your guard and surrender your beliefs. We will add your biological and theological distinctiveness to our own. Your religion will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile."
Gn 3:14 "And thus did Kirk command that Scotty put more power to the warp engines, but Scotty did reply 'It cannot be done, my Captain, for there is no power on earth or heaven to expidite our journey more than it hast already been expidited!'"

With talk like that you're just lucky we don't have witch burnings any more. Your fellow Christians would have had you at the head of the line.
Does fso301 means God, the debbil, the angels? If so, he's right: they don't live on this planet, according to the bible. They just visit from time to time, according to their whim, and only fundies see them.
fergus
having strange beliefs =/= being fundie
And technically they are correct within the bounds of their own base assumptions. If you make the false assumption that angels exist, then you have to call them extraterrestrial as they don't live here.
I have to say I gotta agree with this. A friend of mine told me "Anyone who believes in God has to believe in aliens, because there is about the same amount of proof of both."
But as far as anything about it being in the bible...no. Just no.
"Any Christian should believe in extraterrestrial life. ..."
Sure. Why not? They'll believe in magical cursed fruit, talking animals, unicorns, angel-human hybrids, people living hundreds of years, pregnant virgins, flying Jewish zombies, and all sorts of nonsense. Adding yet more woo-woo to the mix can't hurt!
From a strict reading of the Bible, the only thing incorrect with his statement is the "moving through interstellar space" bit. Of course, since that's the lynchpin of his argument, well...
According to the bible, there is no outer space. All of the stars, sun, moon, move across a firmament.
"From cover to cover, the bible describes highly advanced beings capable of moving through interstellar space and whose abode is not on this planet."
I was not aware that The Doctor was described in the good book, does anyone want to quote the passage to me then? ;)
“Any Christian should believe in extraterrestrial life. From cover to cover, the bible describes highly advanced beings capable of moving through interstellar space and whose abode is not on this planet.”
Except that this planet is literally all there is.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
