Hypothetical: assuming God's existence and aliens' existence

Post Reply New Topic

The word "common" is not slang for anything. Learn proper spelling and grammar if you want to be taken seriously.

My English is just fine, thank you. It is English slang, and I put extra emphasis on it. I don't need to be patronized about my knowledge of my own main language, especially by you.

V0lume, I have no clue what part of the world has spawned this "English slang" you cite, but I can assure you that in 45 years spent in many locations around the United States, and with contacts in Canada and the UK, the only times I've encountered "common" used in place of "come on" were cases of semi-illiteracy. Your insistence that your mistake was actually what you meant to say is indicative of either ignorance or arrogance. I'd like to give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you're merely arrogant.

And reread the title and original post. We are discussing a hypothesis. This does not mean that any of us have to believe that the hypothesis is correct. What it does mean is that when we discuss the hypothesis, we must use its terms - in this case, the idea that the Christian God is real, has created (or caused to be evolved) multiple intelligent life forms, and has revealed Himself to other races besides our own.

This does not mean that we assume aliens must have heard of Christianity in the real world. Quantum physics can lead to discussion of the Multiversal Hypothesis - the idea that since the math doesn't favor any particular outcome in a quantum reaction, therefore all must occur in separate universes. This does not mean that any physicists actually believe in the Multiversal Hypothesis, it just means they like to discuss it.

If this conversation makes you so very uncomfortable, v0lume, perhaps you would be happier reading any number of other threads located around these forums...

I think if we ever come into contact with another sentient species their religious beliefs will be a major issue.

There a several possibilities:

A. Their beliefs will directly contradict our own and thereforth be taken as evidence against God.
B. Their philosophical views will more or less line up with our own, Moderate Christians such as myself will take this as vindication but skeptics will not be significantly swayed.
C. Their religious history will line up with ours exactly, even the dates will line up (so their version of Jesus will have lived roughly 2000 years ago). All Christians will take this as vindication and all but the most extreme of skeptics will be swayed
D. We will meet an alien version of Jesus or other prophet.

Personally I find D the most interesting possibility. What would Jesus be like in a technologically advanced society? Would he actively use mass communication to spread his message (Jesus with a Web blog?) or would he make his speeches, perform his miracles, and allow the media to spread his word form him. How would he react to scientists trying to figure out the nature of his abilities.? Personally I think he would allow them to freely study him because scientific reasoning is their language and he would therefore be preaching to them through their own experiments.

thats just...dumb

It is pretty out-there, this talk of extraterrestrial religion, but I wouldn't call it "dumb."

humans can't even agree where we came from
and we're trying to figure out what other, much more advanced creatures are beleiving in, and how we can convert them
I imagine if aliens come, and christians try and convert them, they would laugh (if they had out simple emotions) or just ignore us and explain why religion is a stupid superstition, and show us they're right

How would they do that?

Well I don't know because I am just a simple human, and never met these aliens
but I mean there are just stupid beleifs humans have-creationism-come on, one cannot even try and rationally explain that one!

I can't change what I believe just to make it more appealing to you. I'm certainly not asking you to share my beliefs, so settle down. No need to fret or wring your hands.

For what it's worth, a person is judged more by his actions than by his beliefs, more by his deeds than his words. I can demonstrate my faith, live it out instead of just talking about it. If my actions communicate my nature, who I am as a person, then I won't have to talk at all.

How about you?

Again, Kilroy, we're not saying, "Aliens are all Christians."

We're saying, "What if aliens were all worshipers of the Abrahamic God?"

Do you have any speculation on the point? What if they did have their Jesus currently? Would He be on one of their ships?

Might the aliens have a governmental form that disapproved of His message, and had imprisoned Him (much like the Sanhedrin under the Romans)? If so, what would we do? What should we do?

See, that's another question. One of the questions posed by the plot of Perelandra is: if you were around at the time of the Fall, on another world, would you have a duty to step in and try and stop it from happening? The answer presumably would be yes, if you believe that our own world has been through such a Fall and that the consequences were terrible.

However, the converse also applies. If you were on an alien world and their 'Christ' was about to be put to death, and if you believe that the death of our own Christ saved the world from the consequences of the Fall...surely you would have a duty to make sure it did happen. Yet if you could have rescued him and didn't, you'd be knowingly responsible for the death of an innocent man (well, OK, an innocent....being). My guess is that most humans are so bad at intervening when a person in another society is being unjustly put to death (or mistreated in any way - 'We can't interfere, it's their culture!') that they'd let it happen.

(I'd quite like to have seen what Lewis would have done with that idea, but from something one of his characters says in Perelandra, it appears that he didn't think the redemption of another planet would necessarily even involve another incarnation, so it's a moot point. Possibly some SF writer has even dealt with this already, but I'm not widely read enough to know. I can only think of Garry Kilworth's 'Let's Go To Golgotha', but that's not really the same issue.)

Which god? I assume aliens with seven tentacles and three eye-stalks will have a god that has seven tentacles and three eye-stalks.

Assume that there is only one God in all of the infinite universe, and that this God is utterly nonspecific.
