Does the Existence of Extraterrestrial Life Prove Evolution?

Some Christians fear the idea of extraterrestrial life because they believe it proves evolution. That is not logically necessary. The existence of extraterrestrial life should not be a problem for Christians who believe in evolution or for those who do not. Check this out!

Although there may have been people in the ancient past who believed in some form of evolution the debate largely did not exist back then. So of course ancient theologians weren't concerned about it. Because the debate did not exist. If it had perhaps they would have mentioned something about it. So for them it either did not exist or else they relegated it to the area of gnosticism or paganism.
So either way...

WOW! He put into words so flawlessly what I've been saying for years!

This is a short video. The entire video has to be explored in order to evaluate the entire context

C.S. Lewis didn't have a problem entertaining the idea of alien life.

The word "extraterrestrial" can't be too old. Before that word was, people referred to them as either angels or demons. And chariots of fire refer to the shuttle craft they use.

Why is this so edited? Edited mid sentence as he’s speaking. That’s not ok.

"We are the only ones" "God told us everything in the Bible, therefore if I know the Bible I know EVERYTHING about God". How impertinent. What about "The Bible is the God's communication with humanity on earth. It doesn't tell us what God did or is doing in other corners of the universe, likely because it's not really that relevant to us."

Ill have to disagree here with you Doc. I still love you

The problem is that both theists and atheists alike are under the assumption that the bible (KJV) teaches that this earth is God's first and only rodeo.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made >THAT WAS MADE<. John 1:3 (KJV); For God to exist he must do so in a place or space (no matter how minuscule or vast), and there must be time for God to contemplate ANY creation (no matter how minuscule or vast), and God cannot create himself nor the time and space for himself to exist in, therefore God, time, and space have always been and will always be. Now before you cite Isaiah 46:10 (KJV), know this “Outside of time” is not a thing and nowhere is it written that God is a time traveler. God knows the end from the beginning because he is the cause of the beginning, middle, and end: 17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Romans 9:17 (KJV)
And
7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Isaiah 45:7 (KJV). God knows the heart of man, he softens or hardens to bring about his purposes and will.
And then you have John 1:1 and John 1:2, and to say that John 1:2 is a reiteration of John 1:1 is absurd. These are two different beginnings. John 1:1 is the beginning creation of this earth that started 13, 500yrs ago. By God’s righteousness he cannot create man with a free will without a plan of salvation knowing that man will give into the lusts of the flesh and be servants of death. From the beginning that plan is the Word (Law) that entails a savior that completes or finishes the law (Word). Jesus was chosen to be that savior (the Word made flesh). The Word is not Jesus, but Jesus is apart of the Word. (God’s law is the “God” we are to love with all our heart, soul, and mind, Matt. 22:37).
John 1:2 is the beginning of God's initial creating, starting with the "word" (the “only begotten”) (a plan and rules for creation, John 1:3 (KJV)). We are not told how long ago this beginning was but by our finite senses of the known universe we know that it was over googol of years ago.
All glory to God. Amen

I wonder if the person making these videos is just taking clips out of context to make the late Dr Heiser say things he didn't actually mean, if you saw the whole context. If so, whoever is doing these things ought to stop and respect a person who has recently departed and not abuse his name for whatever agenda.

[graphguy]

This is one I strongly disagree with Dr. Heiser.
As we all know he was a ufo geek. I think that biases him to rationalize believing aliens ‘might exist’.

Ezekiel discribes aircraft and artificial light; Ezek 1 (KJV), and actually rode in the aircraft; Ezek 3:12-14 (KJV)
Amen

I have used specific techniques to view curiosity rover uploads and magnify and zoom in close with clarity
There is life, sentient life, on Mars.
The scale of that life is much smaller than on earth
I have viewed many hundreds of uploads. Those uploads confirm the redemptive story of Scripture and reality of cosmic spiritual war

[Shane_The_Confessor]

At least look into evolution seriously. Watch debates, see what those "crackpot" creationists have to say.

[marbleman]

The existence of extraterrestrial life ( and I assume that this is implying sentient, intelligent life, because isn't THIS the real problem for people, especially Christians...??) simply proves that the Creator has done in other parts of this incredible universe what the Creator did here on planet Earth: Create....!!!

Do you Christians really...really believe that humans are the ONLY sentient and intelligent creatures in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE...??? If so, then this is arrogance and religious pride of the highest order..!!

Do you Christians really...really believe that we humans are the ONLY sentient and intelligent life that the Creator and one of His sons, Jesus, has ever interacted with???? This also is religious arrogance and conceit of the highest order...!!!

I hope he accepted the atonement of Jesus Christ before he died.
