Genesis says that all things in the universe were created to aid man. Other planets and stars exist only to create the seasons, light, and as adornment for man.

That pretty strongly implies that there are not humans on other planets.

quote:

Gen. 1:13 There was evening and there was morning, a third day.
Gen. 1:14 Then God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years;
Gen. 1:15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth”; and it was so.
Gen. 1:16 God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also.
Gen. 1:17 God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,
Gen. 1:18 and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good.


Psa. 8:3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained;
Psa. 8:4 What is man that You take thought of him,
And the son of man that You care for him?
Psa. 8:5 Yet You have made him a little lower than God,
And You crown him with glory and majesty!
Psa. 8:6 You make him to rule over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,

Clearly that just means that any aliens we do meet are meant to be our slaves servants. :colbert:

Also, if everything God made was for Man, then why was there a tree with fruit that God made a point of saying "Don't eat this fruit"?

Maybe “God” is the alien race rather than a particular entity and that race created us in its image like in Prometheus. Jesus being an alien/human hybrid sounds badass. Maybe Rael was on to something… you do not, under any circumstances… etc. etc.

This is exactly the kind of amateur hour nonsense I was referring to as "atheist prooftexting." You're interpreting the text extremely literally, in a way most denominations don't agree with. You can't take poetic writing and read it like a contract even when it hasn't been translated through multiple languages over tens of hundreds of years.

At the very least, we have no reason to believe "man" is intended to mean specifically homo sapiens sapiens because the text was recorded by people who literally didn't know what a species is. Also the seasons stuff could easily have an implied "for your purposes" because the ancient Hebrews did not have telescopes or starships.

Also also the bible contains a second, conflicting narrative of creation which is a pretty clear clue that not even the people who put it together regarded it as word-for-word truth.

something could well have been issued without any intent to publicize it on the government's end, as last time they didn't announce it until after Trump leaked it (since, ideally, it would be great if Donald Trump would just come to Washington on the day you tell him and you announce it right then, giving people less advance notice to prepare to do dangerous things)

Komodo dragons are pretty badass, but I think bearded dragons are overrated as a pet.

Edit: Not that I'm advocating for Komodo dragons as pets, that is a terrible idea.

Special counsel Jack Smith has charged a third defendant, Carlos De Oliveira, in the Trump Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, according to court files.

De Oliveira spoke to investigators earlier this year and his phone had been seized.


ps breaking news, that a superceding indictment was filed with two additional counts of obstruction based on testimony from De Oliveira that "the boss wanted the... footage deleted". Pending additional sources (maybe just a cnn live stream right now).

I think most of Trump's base do not care whether he did the crimes or not. What they want -- what they always want -- is to see him avoid punishment. They may blabber about political witch hunts but that's just a rhetorical game to them: if it were undeniably proven to them that he had committed all the crimes, his fans would be fine with that, so long as he escaped accountability. They don't give a poo poo about the law, they simply want no consequences for their guy.

I have no data but disagree. The base only care about sticking it to the 'woke deep state libs'. Acquittal is simply another win for them because "he outmaneuvered them again!" followed closely by "when he's president they're all going to prison!". They only care that "the other loses bigly".

Lies, misinformation, even T, are just the voice and tools. Their goals are fascist: 'We' are the chosen, 'you' are slaves, leave 'our' country, or die.
