An earth-like planet that could sustain life has just been discovered. What does this mean to us? Is there a possibility of intelligent life existing on Kepler452b? It’s the most significant of 12 recently discovered ‘habitable’ planets, says TechU4ria in an article entitled, 10 Amazing Facts about Kepler-452b (Earth 2.0)
Now some people equate this to mean the Bible is obsolete and the story of our creation by God can now be written off as only an ancient fable. I read another article in Huffington Post, entitled “Earth 2.0: Bad News for God” by Jeff Schweitzer, stating that this planet’s discovery surely exposes the God hoax. So, to Jeff and everyone who thinks that a discovery of intelligent alien life contradicts the belief in God I had to write this post!
If you think there is no mention of alien life in the Bible, you are missing the most obvious thing in the book. God is not human, comes from heaven, and is all-powerful – by definition then, God is a superior alien life form!
When you read the Bible as an ancient book of history there is a main character that emerges. The bible is a book recording God’s powerful inventions in his relationship to the human race!
This is a new age! We need to look at things from a space age perspective. Take the idea of intelligent design. Just suppose God does exist, and then once said, “Let us make man in our image and likeness.” If that premise is true, then three points can actually define God:
1) God is plural in saying, “Let us create man in our image…” The Bible speaks of other beings supporting us, or even those working against us: hoards of angels, demons, and elders around the throne etc. The concept of the Holy Trinity even supports God being more than one entity.
2) They have higher creative powers than we humans have, because they created us to be like them.
3) If the Source of God is not from our world, they come from off our terrestrial earth or dare we say: extraterrestrial?
Now science has just discovered a new planet capable of our kind of life, KEPLER 452B. If there is one planet in a close universe, there are multitudes of them out there. If our planet has intelligent creatures, others do too. In other words, of course there are other worlds with intelligent life. God is infinitely intelligent and God is not from earth!
Well now, faith and science has converged. The Bible too, has always documented this clearly. Isn’t it possible that the kingdom of heaven is one of these worlds inhabited and governed by God? After all, what is a kingdom? A kingdom is a realm under a specific government. Heaven has always meant the region above our sky; and in contemporary terms that’s outer space! It’s so logical yet people seem to be blind to this perspective!
These higher level other-worldly gods have created our human race as the most intelligent beings on our planet. The discovery that our DNA is only slightly different from apes and chimpanzees, supports a possible altered genome intervention by “intelligent design”. These gods have been intervening with humanity for eons of time, assisting with our spiritual evolution. Now at this point in our development, we have an amazing proposal set before us–that we might interface with them in a unique celestial alliance. Will we ever obtain that glorified cosmic citizenship and become the gods we were designed to be?
That’s what I think is so fantastic about the Bible. The end of the book says we can become the children of God and inherit the Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven! It outlines this very plan!
So…is our Space Program searching for intelligent life on other planets or are we really searching for the origin and home of our Creator? Hmmm.

The Bible was true and correct when it was revealed to the Messenger of God (the One and Only God) Jesus (peace be upon him). However through time people have changed the words of it and there are countless versions of it. I encourage you to read the Quraan and see the similarities with the Bible, except that it makes more sense, is more logical, tells you to think and ponder and not simply believe blindly. And the teachings are straightforward, there is One God who created the Universe (the we employed in the Bible and Quran is used for making the speaker more respected, it doesn’t mean we as in a lot of people, study the grammar first to see that the Trinity is a man-made aspect, Jesus never claimed to be God)
God does not have children so saying we are His children is blasphemy, we are simply His creatures, and we will be returned to Him on the Day of Judgment and get judged for our actions. I hope you consider what I’ve told you and study it further and you’ll see the truth in it. Thank you and have a good day!

I’m so glad you wrote in! Yes,there are lots of similarities between the Quran and the Bible, aren’t there! The One God has sent many messengers on the timeline of humanity for our moral and spiritual development. I’ve read the Bible from front to back and now I’m finding many beautiful passages in the Quran too. I was surprised to find the verses about Jesus and his time on earth.
Jesus didn’t claim to be God but those who knew him claimed he was the Son of God and he confirmed he was. I think he has been the only messenger and prophet sent through birth from God the father and a young human woman. Have you heard of others who descended from God like this?
The trinity concept may be manmade but it shows how our almighty God can manifest through the word (Bible, Quran), through people like messengers and prophets, and now through Spirit (a love for others consciousness)!
The Bible also speaks of a judgement day but, Praise to God, He sent Jesus to ransom us from the penalty of our sins. Oh. if we could all live by celestial standards, for then we would have the paradise of Heaven on Earth!

I agree with you on many things, that God is One, he is all Merciful, but he is also Just because he is Perfect, He would never punish someone for a crime they didnt commit, because that would make him an unjust God if he did so. Jesus did not even die or get crucified, God would not let his messenger and prophet be killed by those who hated him, so he made Judas (Jesus’ enemy have the same face and look as Jesus and he was killed instead). If you read the Quran you would come to realize that Jesus was a Prophet, whom God created without the need of a man, which is why Mary became pregnant, it’s a miracle from God, but that does not make Jesus his son. God created Adam from clay (no need for parents), He created Eve from Adam (no need of a mother) and finally He created Jesus (no need for a father) that does not make Adam,Eve and Jesus His children, it makes them His creations like we are all part of His creation, I hope you can ponder on that a bit and you’ll realize that is the logical truth. In the Koran, God specifically mentioned that He has not taken any Son like the Christians began to claim afterwards, and that Jesus is not God he is only the prophet of God. When Mohammed the prophet peace be upon him was dying he warned all the muslims not to start worshipping him, and claiming he was God like christians began to do after they thought Jesus died (but he never did claiming it was for their sins). The prophet Mohammed stressed that his is Allah’s slave and messenger as the Prophet Jesus peace be upon him was as well.
You seem like an open minded person who has a lot of knowledge but I hope you can complete your knowledge by researching more about Islam, which is the religion that sums up Judaism and Christianity and is the only true religion that applies Now, because the past religions have been modified. And the last thing I want to stress is that every person is responsible for their actions, if I do a good deed I will be rewarded, consequently if I sin and dont repent afterwards to God (not a priest or any intermediary) I will be punished, God is just and would not punish someone else for my crime. God would reward me accordingly to what Ive done in my life and vice versa. It just wouldnt logically make sense that Jesus Pbuh died for our sins, so we can all go to heaven, putting me, you, a murderer, a rapist, and Hitler all on the same level and all go to heaven, it just doesnt make sense. In islam, we either go to heaven or hell depending on how we behaved and our actions and if we repented after we sinned or kept sinning non stop. I hope you research Islam a bit more and realize the beauty and consistency and justness of it and if you have any questions message me anytime regarding Islam. May God guide us all to be closer to Him and be better people 🙂

Please forgive me for this late response. I missed seeing your comment earlier!
I have travelled in many cultures around the world and I marvel at the exquisite temples of worship in every part of the world though they are so different than mine in Canada. Yet the faith of the common people who worship God in each diverse culture inspires me more. God is bigger than any one’s belief system! God’s one true religion can’t be culturally based because he made all races and spread us over the world.
You are right when you say God judges each of us for our actions. Christianity doesn’t believe everybody goes to heaven, but like Islam, we believe those who try hard to live by godly standards and who genuinely repent when they recognize they have sinned. We are even judged by how we judge others. So I refused to close my mind to how others worship God but want to learn and consider their faith to strengthen my own!
But unfortunately, we are all influenced by the political governments ruling our nations whether we are in the midst of Muslim, Christian, Jewish, or Hindu mindsets. We have to rise above that because governments have political agendas and God doesn’t. No one religion can perfectly understand all the vastness and depth of God’s love for us. That’s why I like to think of God residing “in the heavens” (in outer space) and looking down on our planet, hoping to save us from our cultural self-righteousness and violent natures. I believe all spiritual paths lead us over the rocky ground to spiritual maturity!
