ALIEN MAKERS of Life?

The seeming design of the cosmos and the seeming miracles we see could point to aliens having made us. Just because we cannot imagine a civilization in another dimension having a godlike intelligence or AI does not mean it is impossible.  Religion says that even if you knew the whole universe intimately it would still mean it cannot compare to God's intelligence. So these beings and forces might be able to design universes.

 

We worry how an all-loving God can tolerate so much evil and injustice.  We worry how most of it is down to unforeseen consequences of what we do and just happens. 

 

We call attempts to explain that, theodicies.

 

Now we forget that if God gives super-angels the authority to make the choices and rule over the cosmos that is fine.  God should have the right to a delegate.  That would however just leaving us wondering what he did that for.  The real subject would be why those beings tolerate so much evil and injustice.  And the problem of how we may mistake them and their actions for God arises.

 

Bizarrely, now many in the Church think there is one Jesus who has many bodies and who incarnated into alien civilizations.  This puts a new slant on communion for it would mean those bodies are all present in the Eucharist.  It would mean that you feed on the body of the Jewish man yes but also on a Jellyfish type body with tentacles from Universe 3242342zzxzxzxx1.

 

If aliens or super-angels made us, they went to a lot of trouble.  Some argue then that they would not let death terminate our existence.  Then why let us die at all?  Why can we just vanish?

Maybe they think we live long enough and as long as there will always be people they don’t care.

The question is where the aliens came from.

Life was created by chance and it developed because the conditions were ripe for making it evolve not by chance but by what was already there. Living beings had the power to evolve and master science and developed an incredible technology. They made us and evolved us. Just like we have the defect of making mistakes they have the defect of not doing much for us.

Some might add, “They like making life but not caring for it so they will have ensured that we will not go out of existence at death”. When they let us die at all we see that this overrides the possibility that they want us to live forever. Look how much suffering they do not prevent. They would have given us the excessive capacity we have for pain. Toothache is hell on earth and what use does it being that bad serve? None!

We reject God because of the problem of evil. With aliens who give us the possibility of perfect happiness there is the same problem except that God would have more power than them and less of an excuse for neglecting us. We cannot believe in aliens just because they are not God. We have to be impartial.

If aliens did not design the whole universe then it is silly to require them as explanations for the human body and other seemingly designed things. If the universe had no designer then we could have formed without one as well.

And the problem of evil forbids us to believe that aliens designed everything. The first living alien would have been created by chance out of and in chaos so it would be as good as God for it must have taken supreme power to itself – it must have done so when it was able to make order out of chaos – and immortality on itself.

Miracles are taken as evidence of aliens who perform them with their super-science. But then would aliens do them when religion uses them to fool the world? Of course not!
