then again there are discussions in this too... *no clue if this is OC or MVP*
Maybe, maybe not... what an original answer huh?
Why should we bother with aliens? If they do not exist... well let's move on with our lives and get some better glasses. If they do exist, it's not like we can do anything about them in a long while anyway. Should they visit early, surel then their technology is far too advanced for us to handle in a war-like situation (as they can visit other planets, and we, cannot). So in the end, why bother?
Plus it's more likely that we'll kill ourselves on earth before aliens have the chance to find little earth to visit us.
As for the bible and aliens, it is God's matter regarding what creatures he have made, and what plans he has for all of them. God's plans are always too complicated and perfect for our sinful little minds to comprehend, so let's just leave God's business to God, and our business to us and God. Whatever we need/God thinks that we need, God shall provide and give it to us. If God thinks that this earth needs a few aliens visiting us, then so be it (and perhaps we'll be killed by aliens, or befriend them? who knows... it's in God's hand, not ours)
