Nor does the Bible say it is God’s will to save members of other races. He did not say “beyond the earth” or “to the ends of the stars.” Before his ascension, Jesus told his disciples, “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8). Salvation is for mankind.Īnother problem with the hypothesizing a race of extraterrestrials is, if they had sinned, the gospel of salvation is not offered to them. What is the logic in such a move? And why would a just God curse a world whose inhabitants had never sinned for a rebellion that occurred on another planet? But if a race of sinless creatures was exempted from the curse, then “the whole creation” would not be “groaning together” under its effects. That solution would be absurd if God created other living beings on a separate world, which were outside man’s dominion and yet suffered for man’s sin. Thus, the curse for man’s sin affects the realm man was given to rule. But there is a solution in Genesis 1:26, where God gives man “dominion … over all the earth” and all its inhabitant creatures. It may seem puzzling that God would curse all creation for the sin of man alone.

One day, the sons of God will be revealed, and the curse will end, at which point “the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to corruption.” “We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now” (Romans 8:22). In Romans 8:18-25, Paul states that this curse, the “sufferings of the present time,” has affected all creation. In Genesis 3, God cursed the world for Adam’s sin, introducing suffering, pain, and death to human experience. These biblical reasons can provide Christians with a useful context for evaluating claims about UFOs or UAPs, even when they are made under oath in a congressional hearing. Nevertheless, there are solid, biblical reasons to doubt the existence of extraterrestrial life (spiritual beings excluded), particularly life forms intelligent enough to build vessels for travel to earth. Granted, the Bible nowhere explicitly states that there are not living, intelligent creatures on other worlds, nor does it state that life on other planets is insupportable. Perhaps a part of me could even wish that Vulcans, lightsabers, and spatially anomalous phone booths were real.īut a biblical worldview cautions against making more of these daydreams than what they really are - fiction. Now, I enjoy intergalactic science fiction as much (possibly more) than the next guy - “Star Trek,” “Star Wars,” “Doctor Who,” etc. And others will write the whole business off as a fiasco dreamed up by paranoid conspiracy theorists. Some people will credit some of the claims (such as the military running a secret UFO investigation program) more than others (such as the military recovering the deceased remains of extraterrestrial lifeforms). Some people naturally prefer to stick to the facts, while others have adopted a more cautious attitude in light of the proliferation of brazen hoaxes. Some of the whistleblowers’ sensational claims could be true - some people already believe them - but many people won’t be persuaded until the long-promised evidence has actually been presented. Grusch complained that he and others faced “administrative terrorism” for speaking up about the UAP sightings and said he feared for his life at times because of the “brutal” treatment, making him afraid to disclose classified information. Unfortunately for the curious public, Grusch and the other witnesses often declined to present new evidence of their claims to lawmakers outside a secure and confidential setting. They alleged the military had conducted a multi-decade program for UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering, which was funded without Congress’s knowledge or authorization. The witnesses testified to seeing or hearing reports of colleagues seeing objects that appeared as a “dark gray or black cube inside a clear sphere,” with the cube’s corners touching the sphere, or red cubes the size of multiple football fields, which accelerated at uncanny rates. There was also bipartisan agreement on the “pressing demand for government transparency and accountability” regarding UAP reports. Lawmakers from both parties plied three former military officials, including whistleblower David Grusch, a former Air Force intelligence officer, on the nature of known UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena, the technical jargon for UFO) sightings and direction on how they could dig deeper.

Scores of people lined up early to get a seat for today’s UFO hearing in the House Oversight Committee’s National Security Subcommittee.
