Reasons for Consideration

1. – To prevent God's people from being deceived into believing something that is foolish, thus affecting our credibility and testimony. Ep 4:14
2. – To prevent God's people from getting caught on rabbit-trails. Ep 5:15,16
3. – Often it is difficult for people to sort out science fiction from spiritual truth. Outer space seems to be associated with the supernatural spiritual realm by the media and science fiction writers.
4. – To focus on extra-terrestrial life or the supernatural is often to become deluded into false religions and error (i.e. Mormonism, reincarnation, etc.). 2 Thes 2:11, Rev 13:13,14 If a person can be convinced into believing such, the door opens for much vain speculation.
5. – Satan's motive is to promote evolution– thus deny God's authority over our lives. The quest for intelligent life in outer space is a quest to demonstrate that spontaneous evolution of life is possible in many places– not just on earth.

I am convinced that there is no intelligent physical life outside the earth. This discussion concerns the kind of life that could come to earth in space ships, UFO's, destroy civilizations, communicate with man, build pyramids, runways, stack up stones, etc. Such a civilization would of necessity be far more technically advanced than our own to accomplish the feats they are purported to have done.
