Episode Details

The idea of life in far-away galaxies may seem harmless, but belief in aliens comes with theological problems. The Bible tells us Adam’s sin affected the entire universe. This means any supposed aliens are suffering the effects of sin, yet they didn’t sin in Adam like we did.

Jesus came to earth to die for descendants of Adam. To save aliens, Jesus would have to go to each planet be born, die, and rise again. But the Bible tells us Jesus died once for all and his work is complete.

The idea of intelligent aliens is incompatible with the gospel. Scientists can look all they want, but they won’t find any distant civilizations.
