Is There Life on the Planets
Is There Life on the Planets?
Question
Scientists are interested in the question: “Is there life on other planets?” So, what is Christ’s position on this subject… and if science later proves the existence of life, would this affect religion?
Answer
Religion has left this matter without addressing it with either yes or no. Whether the existence of life on the planets is proven, or its non-existence is proven, this does not affect religion in any way.
The Holy Bible was not intended to be a book of astronomy or a book of science, but rather a proclamation of salvation. It narrates the story of salvation and everything related to it, including history, commandments, and theology…
As for the planets, whatever is on them has no relation to our salvation. It is sufficient that they give us light at night, as a grace from God to us. God has likened His righteous saints to them, saying that they shine like the stars.
If life is found on them, there is nothing in the Bible that opposes this. And if it is not found, there is nothing in the Bible that opposes this either.
