Is there Life on Other Planets?

“That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things of the earth, and things under the earth” (Philippians 2: 10 KJV).

There’s a theory as to how life began on planet earth that goes something like this:

“Since there are small single cell microorganisms in earth’s atmosphere, near spewing volcanoes in the ocean’s floor, in Antarctica, in a mine two miles deep in Africa, and it’s assumed there are single cell microorganisms on the surface of Mars or possibly under its surface, and that as some believe, life on earth began with a single cell, then it’s just possible and likely that that single cell that began life on planet earth came from Mars; and we on earth then have the DNA of Martians and are all Martians.”

But has there ever been, and is there now life on other planets? Well, here are the facts from our final authority the Bible (KJV).

The apostles Paul and John write there’s life only in “heaven”; where the saints abide with God; “in the earth” where we presently reside; and “under the earth” the place referred to as Hell where those who die without Jesus Christ go (Phil. 2: 10; Rev. 5: 3, 13). (Now you know with certainty where Hell is.) Heaven and Hell are populated only with people that came from planet earth.

Paul also writes about only two bodies. He writes in 1 Corinthians 15: 40, that there is a “terrestrial” body which is an earthly or natural body made of the earth, and a “celestial” body, which is the heavenly or glorified body the Christian receives when they go to Heaven. Paul does not mention any extraterrestrial body or extraterrestrial beings because they do not exist.

Satan is a space traveler and can move throughout the universe. But he himself admits that his whole sphere of evil operation is on planet earth only (Job 1: 7; 2: 2; 1 Peter 5: 8). If there were life on other planets, he would have carried out his evil operation there as well.

Ufology is a religion with many sects founded on supposedly sightings of UFO’s and messages presumably received from aliens from outer space. Many probe the heavens and the sciences for answers instead of looking in the Bible. A technological savior (Satan the Antichrist) is what this technological world is looking for; not a theological Savior (Jesus the Christ).

Because all the intergalactic messages supposedly received from space aliens contradict the Word of God and show a hostility to Christianity, it would be safe to say that the UFO phenomena is nothing but satanic powers working to deceive, (2 Thess. 2: 9 Mt. 24: 24).

Man from the beginning of time has attempted to fill the God-shaped void within his being, and the mysterious and often misunderstood phenomena surrounding UFO sightings provide ample material to draw from.

The only true “aliens” (Psalm 69: 8) are those who are saved and sanctified, whose “conversation” (Phil. 3: 20) or citizenship is in Heaven, their home in outer, outer space (Rev. 21: 9-27) to which they will soon be going.
