::: I'm with TerryH on this one. You're correct, Crossx14, that this is not an article of faith. Christians are Christians regardless of what they believe on this issue. But the idea of alien beings is definitely incompatible with biblical teaching, even though it's not ''explicitly'' denied in the Bible (just like the Trinity is biblical teaching although it's not ''explicitly'' mentioned). See also [http://creationontheweb.com/content/view/4412/ here] for another treatment of this. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 04:22, 25 April 2008 (EDT)

== Columbus ==
I hope you weren't serious about arriving aliens treating us as Columbus did the natives. In which case we can expect to be raped, pillaged, plundered, executed for our religious beliefs and then die from some strange alien disease? It might be great if they were like [[Albert Schweitzer]], but if they come barging in here like the so-called civilised explorers of old, we, my friend, are up a certain creek without a paddle.
