Why my belief in God will not be effected by the discovery of ET

By: Mark Gibson (N4MQU)

In August of 2020 the Deputy Department of defense approved  the establishment of an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force (UAPTF). 

Will discovery of aliens change my religion?  Not for me but sounds like it will for one of our former President’s.

It wouldn’t change my politics at all. Because my entire politics is premised on the fact that we are these tiny organisms on this little speck floating in the middle of space.

This is not what the Bible says.  God created man in his own image.

In May 2021 60 minutes released this   interview   with quotes from The Department of Defense. According to the reporter the DOD admitted to tracking targets and data on radar. The report interviewed the NAVY personnel that reported this information. 
Russel Brand released this  YouTube  video on the recent pentagon reports.
In contrast let’s look at YouTube excerpt from a 1966 CBS interview with Carl Sagan.  He makes the announcement that science replaces theology when it comes to the origins of life.  I kind of like how Carl Sagan speaks distinctly into the camera forming his words properly.  He may be a great man of science but I am afraid he was too quick to dismiss God as the creator of heaven and earth.
It is interesting to look up the word on UFO on YouTube to see how thinking has evolved. As I read my bible I see very clear consistencies from Genesis to Revelation.  It looks like to me the world view from a former president to a world renowned s scientist they are trying to say we are just a speck on in the universe and we should just accept that and protect the little world we live in.

Let’s start from where the Bible starts   Genesis 1:1 

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

God created the heavens this ends this topic.  If you click on the link I see several definitions from Merriam-Webster.  

the expanse of space that seems to be over the earth like a dome 

I suppose I could write a book on heaven.  The news media has made a big deal about the US Navy coming out and admitting they have been followed by objects that go faster make turns and stop quicker then anything we have.  Someone said they would fear citizens would loose faith in their religion if the government would come out and say they have evidence of beings exist on other planets.

Let’s continue to where God creates man Gen 1:26  

So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.

So in no way it is saying this limits God to creating beings other than man.  I think I need to return to an earlier scripture Gen 1:25

And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

The Bible clearly doesn’t spell out every beasts of the earth nor does God defines their kinds. Let us continue to another passage Gen 1:28

And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

This verse obviously has some things I need to study.  God commanded be  fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea…and over every living thing that moves on the earth.  If there are those that are saying we are not superior and therefore we are not following principles outlined I think that is improper.  The UAP or UFO are not showing me they have dominion over us yet.  I see no evidence they attack our ships or aircraft.  They may be mining our minerals or abducting our people maybe collecting our DNA but they do not seem to be overtly taking over our way of live unless you consider the laws that were ignored by states in the last election.  They do not have dominion over us even if they did take us down in that one incident.
