I think you missed the whole point of my response. You asked the question; "Where does the Bible say anything about there not being any life on other planets?". My point was simply, that the question is one sided. It's a similar trick that pollsters use to get skewed results from their polls. By asking limited questions, the results can be spun in different ways.

I don't believe that absence of evidence constitutes evidence of absence. Do you?

Terra refers to Earth. Extra-Terrestial means outside of Earth. Someone or something that is extra-terrestial is something not of or from this Earth.

As I said, clearly applicable to angelic creatures.

You still seem to be missing my point. No I don't believe that. But that's exactly how you phrased your question. By asking the question; "Where does the Bible say anything about there not being any life on other planets?". You are suggesting that the "absence of evidence constitutes evidence of absence".

Of course there are other planets in this unniverse. How can we believe that in this never ending universe we are the only living planet... mmmm I cant!

[DrJ]

Never ending universe? Why, that's like saying the Earth is flat lol :cool:

Well DrJizzle ,
Can you see it's end?
If it's a sphere, you can say it never ends.
As far as I can see, from here, like all of us: it's both ends are a mystery for me!
And so it's birth as well: WHY is there ANYTHING AT ALL??

Sorry that you misunderstood the intention of my words.
I believe someone made a reference about the Bible not mentioning life on other planets and I responded by saying that neither does the Bible deny such life. Anything beyond that simple statement is the reader's interpretation.

Hope that clears it up.

Well Millie,

No, I cannot see its end. And you are right, in a sense, if it is a sphere, one could say it never ends... just as one could say that the Earth is never ending.

You did not see my birth, but do you believe I was born?

You cannot see my death, but do you believe I will die?

;)

If the universe is a sphere, then it would require bounderies which outline it as such as well as location and the location itself would require a location ad infinitum. It's the paradox of infinite regression. Indeed the only way I have found to escape this paradox is to reject dimensionality altogether. Just a thought. : )
