Today I come up with something a little different from what I always publish. Although not so much. If anyone has followed me, you may have noticed that I love science fiction.
Imagine that one day some spaceships arrive and they become present in all the capitals of the world. How would the different religions of the world respond? Would it change your beliefs?
Are you an orthodox religious? It could annoy your beliefs if you keep reading...
First of all, do you believe in aliens?
Obviously, we know that we are just a particle of dust that revolves around a tiny star, within a vast, endless universe.
Copernicus, Galileo, and many others made a Church-dominated world tremble, breaking the pillars of many beliefs, eliminating the assumptions that the Earth and the Sun were the centers of the universe.
Although there is a group of people who still believe that we inhabit a flat planet.
We have heard of many people all over the world having third type contact with extraterrestrials, millions claiming first and second type contact (these are the sightings of unidentified flying objects in the sky and the famous crop circles). Even heard of people being abducted, but it's always conjecture.
There is still no tangible evidence of their existence. Although there are those who say they live among us and their presence is what has increased technology at an incredible speed over the last 70 years. Too many fantastic theories and stories appear on Youtube.
Will aliens have souls?
Would Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha be an extraterrestrial?
Should aliens be saved as well? Do they have that same original sin caused by two humans at the beginning of time?
However, despite what we think, religions have had to evolve and accept the possibility of their existence:
Indeed, up to 55% of atheists believe that there can be life outside our planet. A percentage that is reduced to 44% among Muslims, 37% among Jews, 36% among Hindus and 32% among Christians.
Of course, we could say that the flying carriages, the angels and the miraculous events that appear in the scriptures, could evidence the extraterrestrial presence before the eyes of humans who did not know the technologies that today are already normal.
What do you think? Could religions collapse before the arrival of extraterrestrials to our planet? And I am referring to those religions that define the human being as something special and that occupies a privileged place in the Universe.
I'd really like to hear your opinion on this. Those of you who are like Me, open to the supernatural and hoping that someday we may see extraterrestrial life.
I am sure that the evangelicals will have an answer to such a presence. They always have it.
I could imagine Jehovah's Witnesses knocking on the doors of extraterrestrials to bring them eternal salvation.

Dear @jadams2k18
Very unusual topic and I never came across anyone who would discuss this issue. It does surely sound like SF movie :)
I already love that question. I wonder how many people out there do believe in "aliens". World seem to be huge and for that reason many seem to believe that we're not alone out there.
But at the same time we must ask ourself a question: do we believe that human race has a chance to survive? That it will not vanish in the nearest generations? With all tech advancement and growing populations we may assume, that life on earth will not last forever.
So let's say that humans ruled this world for few thousands of years. How much longer do we have before we will be all gone? Is there any chance that we would colonize other planets before that happen?
Let's assume that entire humar race has only few thousands of years total from the moment when we developed some basic tools till moment when it's all over. Similar scenario would probably affect "aliens". Civilizations would grow and collapse. And what could be the chance that two different intelligent civilizations would exist around the same time?
Winning lottery would be more likely to happen :) Anyway I think I drifted a little bit from main topic.
Definetly for majority of people it would be a shock. And I wonder how would church (as a huge well organized structure) react. That could be the biggest challenge for them. But at the same time I can forse even more people praying and turning their heads into religion.
After all it's very easy to scare population and control it with fear. And wouldn't presence of "aliens" provide them with very efficient tool, to scare and control masses?
Cheers buddy

Hello @jadams2k18
Such an intriguing post..truly enjoyed reading your article.
To be honest, I believe in rationalism more than faith alone...Am not saying, there's no God or anything..but to believe in it, I need to have some legitimate proofs or, at least some rational explanations.
I mean.., why not?
On one hand, we (humans) claim to be the smartest of all the life forms exists and on the other hand, we tend to believe in something, which we can't see at all or even proof it's existence.
Moreover, the discovery of extraterrestrials is not just an idle fantasy..Many philosophers and scientists all over the world prooved their existence or at least provided with some analytical explanations regarding their existence.
Stephen Hawking once said,
"The idea that we are alone in the universe seems to me completely implausible and arrogant," he said.
"Considering the number of planets and stars that we know exist, it's extremely unlikely that we are the only form of evolved life."
And I guess, may be, this discovery may temper our religious beliefs in a good way...
Thank you @crypto.piotr for providing the link of such an awesome post.
thank you

Hello, @jeoleena!
I'm glad you took the time to stop by
I agree with what you say. And I like that you support a positive version of the influence extraterrestrials would have on religions.
Maybe it will make us reflect on the premises that we know as "truths". But not for bad, but to be more humble in front of a vast universe, maybe it will broaden our thinking to understand a new concept of God.
Greetings!
Thanks for coming
Aliens also exist in other countries. If you are a foreigner in another country then you are considered an alien. Hahaha kidding aside, majority of the bloggers here on Steemit except for the bots believed in aliens as well. It requires a great amount of imagination, creativity and strong principles to believe in such beings to exist. Thank you for sending this link to me as I believe this is a great topic to be discussed.
Hello @fycee!
I loved your pun
I agreed with you. All of us who use the blockchain are open to new trends and changes. It is not uncommon to believe that we would also accept as normal the existence of other races in the universe.
As they would say here: "Dios nos cría y Steemit nos une" (God raises us and Steemit unites us)
Thanks for passing by
hahaha you're right :) I know that this is the way it is in some countries.
Cheers

Very interesting, I am a Christian and believe that there is an alien, we can not even know the size of the universe, and there is a certain logic in thinking that yes it would be possible for the divinities to be alien to the miracles of Jesus could be done with technology
I agreed with you @jcmrb
There are many indigenous communities that had contact with divine beings, I suppose they were extraterrestrials. Maybe Jesus was an alien
Thanks for commenting
Aliens are demons that can be stop with the name of JESUS.
The ancient Vedic texts of India written thousands of years ago talk of alien life on numerous planets in the cosmos and some are higher than us and some lower culturally. Some are seen as godly and live for thousands of years compared to us and the priests were once able to invoke them but those days are gone, lost in the mists of time.
That would prove the theory that the gods we worship today could have been highly advanced space travelers.
Hi there everyone!
This post stimulated my senses to the sixth level.
Though I am not against to any opinions but I would like to cite my own opinion on this matter.
First, I believe in a supreme God who has the Ultimate plan for all His creation. Life itself needs that perfect balance in order for it to exist. A change to its exact formulation even a single digit in scale, life will never be possible. That's why I believe that there is a master planner for all of this - God. As for the aliens' existence, I would say this is possible but these beings, I believe, were spirit beings whom have fallen for their rebellion to God together with Lucifer as their leader. Some of them dropped into the bodies of water and became mermaids, some on land and became fairies, dwarfs and elves, and those who were dropped on the outer space and other planets eventually became as the extraterrestrial beings as what we call them. Because they were punished and cursed by God they became deformed and ugly creatures.
Well, that's my stand on this topic.
Please follow me if you found my idea interesting!
Thanks.
@crypto.piotr
I've done your request!
Thanks for sharing the link!
Hello @paulcesna
There is another user who also commented about the rebellion of the angels against God and originated life on other planets. Do you know where I can find out about that rebellion and why it happened? I refuse to believe that an "understanding God" could not mediate the situation and had to end up in rebellion. Also, escape from the kingdom of God? How? it is part of everything we see and don't see.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting
Hi @jadams2k18!
It is found in the book of Enoch. It's an ancient manuscript that has all the revelation about the spirits (fallen angels) and the origin of there rebellion and their fall.
We are living in the flesh, but there are still lots of unseen forces invisible for human eyes but things beyond human comprehension but actually exist and generally affects the humans existence and daily living - the spirit realm.
For what can be seen by the human eyes are only temporary but those unseen are eternal.
Well that's my own point of view according to all knowledge I've gained in my personal readings.

Hi @paulcesna,
Found your comment really interesting.
"...... they were punished and cursed by God they became deformed and ugly creatures."
Got a little doubt with regards to the above sentence.
If that be the case, they must have attacked our humanity in order to destroy the earth, which is the magnificent creation of the Almighty, but it hasn't happened. I am specifically asking this question because they don't have enough power to attack the Almighty.
I am asking this question taking the logical point of view into consideration and nothing more than that. Please clarify.
Thanks in advance.

Hi @marvyinnovation!
Thanks for your interest.
The major rule for the spirit realm is respect of authority. And these fallen angels still knows that law of all spirit beings and each of them has their own rankings. God has placed a boundary for them so that they cannot surpass the realm of us humans. But since these spirits are very cunning, they lure us humans to disobey God's commandments by committing sins, and through this that covering from God will be broken and eventually will give them access to attack us spiritually.
How do these spirits attack us spiritually?
By the way, I followed you. Please follow me, too. So we can be friends... I'm just a newbie and looking for new friends here in Steemit community. Thanks!

Hello! I think it's important to keep an open mind about these beliefs.
Over the centuries many things have changed regarding scientific beliefs and explanations of the universe.
Greetings @ crypto.piotr
Very interesting post. I think there is a significant flaw in the premise though as it doesn’t consider the element of time. In cosmic terms, humanity has barely been in existence, and will become extinct.
Time and existence is forever though. There is near certainty of life on other planets, but it doesn’t mean they will exist at the same time as we do, or in any proximity near enough for any of us to recognize the others presence.
I don’t think this would impact religious beliefs even if it did occur, as the same could be said about evolution or carbon dating. Faith finds a way to persist due to culture, norms and uncertainty regarding the unexplainable.
Hello @bdempsey
I hadn't thought of that. However, some scriptures assure the coming of higher beings earlier, many years ago, so I think they existed long ago.
I agreed with you
Thanks for coming by
Hi @bdempsey,
"...... near certainty of life on other planets,..... "
What do you mean by the word 'life'?
Did you mean ETs or other forms of life?
I am raising this question because ETs have been visiting our earth for quite a long time now. Hence your words "near certainty" created confusion in my mind.
Please throw some light and clear my doubt.
Thanks in advance, @bdempsey.
Posted using Partiko Android
As time has no beginning or end, infinite opportunity for life in any form to exist. I haven’t seen anything that proves or disproves that ETs have visited Earth. But it is near mathematically certain that intelligent life will exist somewhere else in the universe at some time.
Of course @bdempsey, as you said, we are not ALONE in this universe.

Greetings @crypto.piotr @jadams2k18
I enjoyed your article, I also enjoyed watching Star Wars, Men in Black, Transformers, Mars Attack, and E.T. movies, these movies are box office hits.
I suppose we humans are very much entertained with the possibility or impossibility of these Extra Terrestrials.
Although I wonder how these films were conceptualized as if they were real.
I also enjoy reading and watching conspiracy theories as they call it,
like who created the great pyramids, the origin of Annunaki,
the chariots of the gods, you name it, it drives my imagination.
Like everyone else here, it comes down to what you believe.
Everyone has his own opinion.
Regards to everybody
Hello @jackramsey
I also loved sci-fi movies and reading conspiracy theories too.
There are many things hidden on this planet, as well as outside it.

Hello @sighmanjestah
Do you mean me? It was 0.005 STEEM. Does it bother you? I didn't mean to
Sorry for the trouble.
No problem, I was just curious. I thought it was an interesting way to promote a post. No, now that I look at it, it was @crypto-piotr that the question was directed to, and it didn’t bother me.
That's good news
Dear @crypto.piotr,
"..... it's very easy to scare population and control it with fear. And wouldn't presence of "aliens" provide them with very efficient tool, to scare and control masses?"

Well I’m pretty sure that aliens don’t exist in this planet... Many people talk about this but nobody have any info... everything is created for humans, and all of this is created for governments...
Many experts have some videos but people don’t have nothing or have touched someone from other planet ...
So, this is just a story created for a few people ...!!!
Humans are so smart themselves create everything in this world..!!!

Dear @edgarare1:
I have had contact with reliable evidence of extraterrestrial life. And I have also had group experiences where we have witnessed extraterrestrial activity.
Please could you tell me a little bit about your experience, how was that..?
Exist many info on internet but I would like to know something from you my friend @juanmolina...!!
It sounds amazing, did you touch them or talk about something with them...?
Touch them or talk to them no.I have seen them, in heaven.
Some friends have a family cottage.
One night we saw very clearly a ship landing on the mountain. Then we went in the morning to the place where we saw the lights the night before and we saw traces on the ground. Melted stones.
It should be noted that we know these mountains very well since we had been expeditions there for years. Those melted stones were not there before.
That is the most forceful proof. There are those rocks. Nobody will be able to move them from that place.
On many other occasions we also managed to see the lights landing. Always during the night.
That's great my friend!
How long ago did that happen? Right here in Venezuela? In which part? I would like to visit the place.
Do you have any pictures?
Hahahaha ... you got really excited?
No pics. This happened 30 years ago if I remember correctly.
At that time we did not have devices.
Never more uimos for there. Currently access has changed and is more difficult. But those rocks are there. I only had to make that trip up there and bring cameras or telephones to document.
Cerro Turimiquire, Sucre State, In Venezuela,
Man! I didn't see your comment until now... It takes a lot of time to answer every comment. I love it but it's hard.
That happened 30 years ago! No wonder you didn't have any cellphone!
I googled it on maps but no luck; nobody has posted any pictures
I'll go someday
Hello @edgarare1
But you think they do exist outside, don't you?
They're even talking about a race of lizard men. Have you ever heard about them?
I'm glad you took the time to stop by
There are many things that are not explained yet, may be they wuoldn't be never explained by science, so people created different kind of explanations. But the mystery follows.
Hi! Egarare1
I believe it has been shown mathematically that there is a high probability of intelligent life in the Universe, besides mankind. That said, we still do not have definitive proof. Most of the people who claim to have had contact are certifiable lunatics. When one makes an incredible claim, it is incumbent they provide incredible proof. If they do arrive on the front lawn of the Whitehouse, so their existence cannot be denied, I am confident the religious fundamentalists will continue to deny they exist and claim it is a government conspiracy to attack their faith. For me, I hope to live long enough to see it
Hello @clayrawlings!
You've made me laugh enormously with that phrase.
It's probably the governments that have been hiding the truth all this time.

Hi, @khussan! Our most primitive response is to fear the unknown. So I think we would also attack them for fear of harm.
Thanks for coming by
Well, you did send in a memo so I might as well heed the call of the wild to check upon it...
So we are dealing with a hypothetical situation, which we are already grounded upon a metaphysical arrival in a tension-wide World. I like that type of situation; yet let's get to the first set of questions.
- I only know one religion (two if you count Neo-Confucianism as a religion) group that would basically modify but remain the same in content and form: Buddhism. The Abrahamic religions will be fractured six ways from Sunday, at least the fundamentalist strains. (Islam, particularly more for Sunni and less for Shi'iate Islam, will have a funny course of modifications; yet they are part of the Abrahamic religions and shall be modified nonetheless).
- Particularly me: I couldn't care less if a God Alien or a normal LMAO green small alien came up to me or to the doorsteps of the World's Capitals. I accept that they could exist but we have yet to make contact to know each other's existence truly. So the question's answer would be: indifferent.
- Just look above: I am indifferent to them existing or not existing.
Now this is an interesting set of statements, one from an existentialist line (more Jean-Paul Sartre), one to talking about the demystification of Science which allowed Science to start demystifying the World, one of the extraordinary claim people (who need extraordinary evidence) and one about us not truly knowing if we can validate these theories truly. BUT MORE QUESTIONS!!!! FEED ME MOAR!!!!~ :p- My only answer is: will it matter? Never mind that souls take on different contexts under different religions, but that souls are highly debated even in theological spaces. Them being here will definitely through a monkey wrench to the discussion and we'd have to make new categories for theology and the philosophy of religion to figure out.
- Let the theologians and philosophers banter that about; but they are already figured it to be an automatic yes by the inclusion of them being in a different plane of reality whenever they left the Earth.
- Religiously, I only leave that to a God to decide. But I care not for a God to exist; if God Godself existed, cool I shall shake the hand of God; if God Godself doesn't, then into the empty Void shall my carcass go.
- That's going into bounds of metaphysicality that the Second World Theory bitched on about with water and its molecular compound being possibly similar to a possible molecular composition on Planet X with molecules XYZ being the Planet X equivalent to H20. However, this is the bounds of metaphysical thinking that needs a fleshing out a rigourous dialectical exploration.
Yay, stats! I love 'em! And it is possible that oral history had been manipulated by writers seeking out their brand of a written religion; this is most certainly true when it comes to the Bible and Emperor Constantine censoring and making propaganda of heretics of those that had written those parts of the Bibile in. So it only is the case that alien civilizations decided to take a small pitstop, which turned into oral history which later got written down and twisted by society until we get to today where you are asking the question of them possibly being here. Infinite possibilities in the metaphysical World. Anyways, MOAR QUESTIONS!!!!~ :p- I already gave thoughts above on that possibility. So I shall use this to talk about this post being a good hypothetical post but also being a conversation starter post. I like it, good for "coffee" talk - despite me despising coffee.
- Well if the material conditions betters, we can see a plummet on religious people; yet institutional religion will be a tough nut to crack and will have to be in the hands of the laymen before they disappear. And this will be especially true if ETs don't decide to crash into our planet and waddle on it!~
I shall share my opinions again: it would be cool to see them but I shall remain indifferent to the arrival of aliens; for sure it will change the Superstructure (Culture and Ideology) of every society and it might have a rammifying affect on the Economy due to how people take the event.On the topic of religions, I do like what carnedes.org is doing right now when he goes and explain the philosophical terrain of religions.
Hi @theironfelix,
Your comment is not a mere comment. Some points, I understood and some I don't.
But still I felt like you have explained almost 360 degrees of the concerned topic. Wow!
Actually, I searched and saw an YouTube video and the link is given below:
So on seeing that video, I was convinced, albeit not fully, that ETs have visited and are still visiting our earth.
I just want to know your invaluable comment on the same.
Thanks in advance, @theironfelix.

Heyo.
Well, such is life. Some things we can know and some that'll require research out of us.
Regarding this: I am very happy you found it so!~ c:
In my Biology class, the question, "if alien exist always pop out"!
My common answers is:
1st: up to now there is no ET enrolled in our school, nor some declared in a noontime shows an alien participating in their games.
Why arent they coming out? Maybe there is REALLY NO ALIEN OUT THERE!
2nd: If i told you that there are really aliens that exist among us, who roam our planet, and we are visited by numerous aliens from the past, and (jokingly) I also came from the sky, then what will you do? Will your faith in God differs, will you not panic? will you still be interested to go to school?go to your church, what will you feel?
As I process the discussion:
Saying on the class
The question of existence is just a mental experiment.
Its your conscious knowledge and its acceptance will matter if the truth came out.
And the continue valuing life and our species matters to these aliens too.
How can they treat us an equal lifeforms if we dont love our own.
If they are really the gods of the ancient, will you are ready to listen?
Will you protect the Earth now that aliens do not exist, or you will protect the earth knowing they do?
My students have no follow up questions, the bell rings.
I really like to entertain those kind of questions, somehow they are quite satisfied.
I didn't know you are a Biology teacher. That's great
It is one of the classes that I liked the most, too interesting because we studied our environment, our composition, the theory of evolutionism. Also that theory of spontaneous generation, which gave me a lot of laughter. Animals, bacteria, so many important things that matter covers.
I'm glad you're putting the minds of your students to work, that they're somehow prepared to deal with change. A very rigid society tends to cease to exist.

Dear @guruvaj
What an awesome comment buddy. Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion with us.
Enjoy your weekend :)
Yours,
Piotr
If your beliefs are more or less in sync with rationality. New discoveries or alien nations or intelligent planets would not be more than a speed bump- an anomaly which can be integrated or explained. If your belief system is not capable of encompassing the truth of physical laws and measurable effects then it is flawed.
Some things which beliefs address such as happiness and peace and spirituality and social well-being which may physically be not quantifiable- these may not be in opposition to scientific thinking. Man needs to be both a social and rational to live a full life.
Smashing comment @sarez Sir. Agreed.
But still lot of things are hanging in the mid air expecting a solid answer. Please do see this YouTube video and pass your invaluable comment, Sir. The link is given below:
One can always expect your response in a completely different angle.

Thank God for rational or scientific thinking, isn't it?
Surely there is a term to describe the antagonism I have just written.
Cheers!
Wooo my dear @jadams2k18, you have a great story here, very controversial by the way, thanks for the memo.
Of course I believe in the supernatural! I believe in the existence of a spiritual world. Of everything that was written, said and recorded about extraterrestrial life, there was no clear evidence that could prove the existence of beings from another planet (At least I do not know). No doubt that the appearance of alien beings would change the way of thinking not only of the religious, that would be a fact that would shock the whole world regardless of their ideology or religion. But to be honest, I do not think that will happen someday.
Take care.

Hello again, my dear friend @fucho80!
I'm glad you're open-minded to the wonders of the world and the universe.
It probably won't happen yet. It is a directive of the Star Trek Federation ships, not to influence the evolution of primitive societies, unless necessary.
Thanks for passing by
@jadams2k18 Such a great writing.
Personally, I don't believe aliens exist. Christians, Muslims, Buddhist who believe in Jesus, Mohammed and Buddha respectively, do so as a result of the extraordinary things they did here on earth. They're not seen as aliens.
Of course, human beings are special and unique. But I don't see religion collapsing as a result of extraterrestrials arriving in our planet cos I don't believe it exist.
Hello @willspatrick!
You don't?
So far you're the first one to tell me that.
But you know the universe is giganticly immeasurable, right? And in that countless and unthinkable number of planets, there is no life?

By chance, I recently caught a youtube video where a man named Michael Tellinger was speaking on all sorts of science related subjects, the bible, history, etc. I don't know how much of what he said is factual, but the items I checked (regarding the amount of water in space, etc) were true and the NASA sources cited were legitimate. There were parts of his talk where he used scientific discoveries as a means of explaining how otherwise questionable stories in the bible(Giants? Could the flood have really happened to wipe them out?) might not be so far fetched. He touches on Aliens. You might find it interesting. Again, I have not fact checked all of his statements, view at your own discretion, definitely adds wonder to the possibilities of the universe. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=michael+tellinger
Hi @minerthreat
I read something about giants somewhere a long time ago.
I didn't know anything about Michael Tellinger. Sound interesting!
Thanks for sharing and for passing by
I do believe in aliens. I grew up in a faith where the basis is the Bible. From what I understand, there is great controversy in heaven, war between good and evil. Satan and his followers were banished from heaven. Before coming to Earth, they went planet to planet but Earth was the place they were "accepted" or sin was allowed.
Therefore, there are other beings in other planets and universe aside from us Earthlings. They could be the same like us physically because were created just like God is.
If there are aliens, then that would be an affirmation of that belief. However, we still don't know anything. Everything is just an assumption.
I don't have anything to say about your other queries but surely many would question their beliefs.
Hello @leeart!
The fact that they traveled from planet to planet indicates that there was a means of transport and that they could possibly survive other environments. Interesting.
However, each theory brings us closer to the truth.

Sorry, I am a person who does not believe in aliens, because it is not in the Book of my religion, for this reason aliens have no effect on our lives and religion, nor can life in space affect badly our beliefs and religion, because of a belief, not affected by space and time, belief is a belief in the heart about justifying the principle of truth, related can logic or not.

thanks @crypto.piotr for directing me to this post.
Going to take me a while to digest it. I am a bit of a wildcard on this topic because I have a few completely conflicting opinions on it, and one interesting UFO story..
let me read some threads and comment as I can..
Hello @darrenfj
Please, be my guest. Take all the time you need.
I would ask God for discernment. I think that everything we have learned would be challenged, regardless if someone is religious or not.
Hi @danielfs
Yes, I agreed! I'm sure many would pray immediately to avoid a catastrophe, starting with me. We usually do it when things get complicated.
The clash of cultures will definitely bring many changes.

the amazing thing that the ugly bot cheetah will flag my comments but by your aid and help your vote is stronger than its flag then i become more happy to see you upvoting my comments on your blogs as this one here
I would prefer that you comment about my post and not just for the fact of receiving the upvote. It saddens me that you haven't read it.
I had read your post. Even I made a similar post in my blog. I usually resteem only the posts I read but if I love what I have read I up ote it too. And this is what's happened in your post. I like it and I have done both actions so please do not be sad as I am not a bad girl who is seeking only the votes.... PLEASE READ MY LOGO....

Forgive me for misunderstanding.
Thank you again for your concern in explaining. I see you are not a bad girl.
PS: What a problem with that cat! I've always disliked it.
Religious people would simply incorporate "aliens" into their religion somehow.
Hello @jbgarrison72
Yes, statistically speaking, many religions have begun to accept the idea that we are not alone. Above all Western religions, since Eastern religions have been doing so for many years ago.
They will find a way to survive, they always do
Thanks for commenting
Well @theironfelix said pretty much everything there can be said on the way the religious would receive it . most Pagan religions would not change or be disturbed by it as "other realms" have always been a part of the general narrative.
As for the soul question if we have souls they will have them too ... if there is life after death and some eternal spark it lives in us all ...not only one species on an insignificant rock.
As for do the question if I believe that there is life out there, the answer i yes. i mean we already know that some asteroids carry the components of life and some even believe to have found bacteria from outer space (they just could not be sure as the samples were contaminated) . As for intelligent life it would be mathematically highly improbable if we were the only ones. the question is are they rock bound like we are or are they more advanced.
As for how they would look seriously anything goes. i mean look at the diversity of life on this here rock and quantify it by billions ...
Hello @tygertyger
Nice seeing you here! Welcome
it's inevitable on his/her(?) part
Good question. I am sure that there must be all kinds, we are talking about the vast universe, as the saying goes: in the vineyard of the Lord...
Well, not far away, I know good people who I could swear they're extraterrestrials or a freak of nature.
I'm glad you took the time to stop by
This is an interesting thought-provoking article where you have linked aliens with religion. I don't think that the discovery of aliens will happen after religions cease to exist because I believe that they existed before and still do exist now.
Moreover, my religious scriptures do mention that there are other worlds apart from the Earth and there is life in every world. Some of the worlds and inhabitants are higher and superior compared to us, humans and some are lower. Even if I am not a believer of my religion, I think it is a little arrogant for us to claim that the entire universe exists for us alone although we inhabit only a single planet of the universe.
I would love to read the responses to your article from different groups of people because it is fascinating to know different perspectives and beliefs. So I will follow and check this post from time to time. I wish there is an option to save it but it is alright :)
Thank you @crypto.piotr for sharing this post to me =) It is definitely interesting and made me think and wonder of different possibilities for a moment.

Could you tell me what your religion is? I find it interesting to know that the scriptures of your religion take into account that there is life on other planets.

I will take a look of that
I believe that even if there's a life outside earth, religion won't be affected very much. I mean the religions I know of, already doesn't prove or disprove their existence!
Hello @ahmadmanga
I think a lot of them could be affected. But the bigger ones will survive, according to the statistics.
I suppose there are many other things to worry about than the lives of beings who are possibly imaginary (?).
Thanks for coming by
Funny curious post, thanks for the heads up @crypto.piotr !!! The fact is anything visible in space or skies that might be deemed "unidentified" is simply hidden human technology not revealed to the masses. It has existed for decades (perhaps millenium!). You can only believe something you have personally experienced as I see and experience the miracles of God every day of my life. Have you ever seen a ghost? Or alien?? No, so I will stake my unshakable beliefs and eternal life in the good Lord whose acts prove His existence every day. May God bless!
Hello @lanceman
I agreed. The best way to prove a premise or theory is to experiment with it. It's the best way to accept a truth.
Thanks for coming by
Given my personal belief of EvoKreationism (which I really should get around to finally explaining), I have no doubt whatsover that both alien species and alien gods exist. As to whether or not they visit us? I don't really care. I know that magic is absolutely real, though poorly understood.
The real question isn't whether or not there is alien life, because given the laws of physics, life is practically inevitable, under the right circumstances. The survival of that life, to a level at which it could possibly start interacting with other solar systems, is by no means guaranteed; or even likely. The jury is still out on whether or not higher reasoning functions will drive the human species to extinction, for instance. There have been thousands of wildly successful Earthly species that were so good at devouring their environment that they eventually starved to death, due to geographical isolation.
Humanity will probably shit it's collective pants for about a week, then go back to arguing on Shitter; because stupid.
Hello @yestermorrow
EvoKreationism? I must google it!
Evolution and Creationism? Together! That's awesome!
It's good to know that we share the same belief
I guess there's no better description
I'm glad you took the time to stop by
Dear @yestermorrow
What an awesome comment buddy. Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion with us.
Enjoy your weekend :)
Yours,

The theme of the aliens is very interesting. Much has been said and much more will be said.
Your article leaves many questions, which in time have not been answered.
In particular, I do not close to the options. There may or may not be extraterrestrials. I believe that there are miracles and thousands of things that we can not explain with science, nor with religions that close before scientific truths or reasonable doubts in front of inexplicable facts.
I liked your post and I follow you, jadams2k18
Note: If you find errors, excuse me, I'm using the google translator.
Hello @josegilberto
I agree with you, there are many things on this planet and in the universe that cannot be explained by science or religion. However, it does not mean that they do not exist or are a product of our imagination.
However, I think the most important thing is to remain open to the possibility and have some flexibility to deal with the future changes we hate so much.
Thanks for passing by and following me
I've always thought that science fiction is closer to reality. There are many intriguing and surprising tales and stories! Best regards
Hello @eliasseth
I think that because of the sci-fi is that all inventions have appeared, such as the computer, cell phones, tablets. In my opinion, this is what makes us have a technological vision of the future.
Thanks for commenting
Religion is your curse. I can't help but think that you may just be very religious to want to fight for the savior of entities we are only speculating may exist. Your final comment gives it away as you talk from your point of view or background.
You are not who you think... You are your past experience. Everything you encounter changes you.
Why should we presume the world to be nearly close to what you imagine if everything you consume is controlled?
My opinion is that with this question you are stumbling around in a controlled topic and adding fuel to the fire by allowing heated debate within the controlled topic.
Why don't you ask how you came to these questions in the first place. Once you realize what the origin is of your thoughts perhaps then we will begin to find a resemblance of the right path (not saying that I am by any means) but you wanted my opinion so there it is.
Dear @dpl

@crypto.piotr
I was here because of your memo ;-)
I do believe in the existence of life on other planets.
It is impossible that it does not exist.
There is no logical reason why it can not be true. On the contrary all the sensible explanations (without religious ties) that we can imagine, will conclude that it is possible that there is life on other planets.
Related to this fascinating topic we will find two aspects. Only two: Those who believe in this and those who do not.
What would happen if...
We would have people who were right and were considered atheists, insane. We would also have other people who said they were right but were wrong.
Of course this would cause great alarm in the population.
Governments considered "world powers" would try to take advantage of this.
All this would happen only with demonstrating its existence and its presence on earth.
But what would really mark a before and after in the history of humanity would be when the intentions with which they would be visiting us were evident. That is, will they come in peace?
You are the king of sarcasm.
Hello, my dear friend @juanmolina!
That's right, my dear brother. It is good to know that you too are open to the possibilities and that in no way would you change your beliefs.
That's a different story (harina de otro costal). For that, it is necessary to use Sun Tzu, the art of war by establishing mediations with superbly advanced entities
Btw, I didn't know you have a first and second type contact! That's awesome!

All in conclussion the almight God is only one.
All pride to him . He his creator and he do not take any wife or child
Hello, @maxbow. Thanks for passing by
I'd forgotten that part, thank you for remembering it. The presence of extraterrestrials in the past, for the indigenous communities, the Mayans, the Incas, and others; the Egyptians. All of them have some evidence that could be explained by the existence of extraterrestrials.
or her?
Is God a man or a woman? Perhaps it is a great-grandmother, who know the miracle of giving life to many and whose patience, wisdom and love for everybody is unconditional. Think about it.
Cheers
Hmm... Soul stirring indeed. I have been through such introspection before and even written a Sci-fi novel, Spirit Raiders about the same topic.
To me the reality is that I have experienced God well enough to not be bothered my their past anymore.
But answering your question - yes, such dramatic change in beliefs, especially, those that the God's have something to do with aliens can shake people's faith. Unless, you have experienced God, such details could wreck havoc on an individual.

Hi my dear @oivas
I didn't know you write a Sci-fi novel!
That's good news!
That's why I introduce this kind of thinking, not to create controversy but to prepare people not to be so rigid and to allow accepting changes. As I said before, rigid societies tend to cease to exist.
Thanks for coming by
hello @jadams2k18,
I do not believe in aliens but, I am not going to write their existence, perhaps, like the microorganisms which were not discovered before the first microscope, they're somewhere. We haven;t discovered/ invented our "microscope" version for aliens I guess to put it lightly.
Heeeello @nurseanne8
I like to know that you are also open to new discoveries and the fact that if you can't see them doesn't mean they don't exist.
Thanks for coming by
No worries. A few hundred years ago, people were not aware of the existence of bacteria or other microorganisms. See how we believe/think these days.
The discovery of these microorganisms was a gigantic revolution.
@jadams2k18, No one knows the exact truth and most of us are carrying forward the Belief System which passed on by Ancestors. In my case i am ready for any truth because i hold the Neutral Mindset and when we just see truth in one aspect and not in others in a way we are deceiving ourselves because truth is not so straight for sure. Stay blessed.

Hello again, my dear friend @chireerocks!
I'm glad you're open-minded to the wonders of the world and the universe.
It is always important to question the truth (even the one our ancestors have passed on to us), analyze it and meditate on it before assimilating it and adapting it to our beliefs.
Thanks for passing by
True. If questions are rising then definitely pieces of the puzzle is missing and critical thinking and questioning brings the truth into the focus light.
Very intriguing topic indeed. Amidst the vastness of this universe I believe that there are other life-forms out there. They do have certain body mechanisms to survive the harshness of the environment extremities for sure to survive. There have been explorations done by our scientists to satisfy their hunger for truth but unfortunately, our technology isn't enough yet to show the results.
If the ET landings is really true then they really have an extreme advanced technology to be able to reach out and land over to Earth. For the mean-time while our scientists were still not yet able to make any contact with anybody out there then we should just focus on our own problems here and immerse ourselves in what our technology can offer.
If we make ourselves too focused on the thought of finding life on other planets or galaxies, it's gonna be too much time will be wasted, a lot of imagination and burst of brain cells would be involved. This diverts our attention to the real world we should need to focus on.
If these so-called aliens doesn't want themselves to get known then why should we bother digging much about them.
If they are able to survive the extreme harshness of the environment outside Earth then that makes them really supreme beings. This definitely affects our religion and our major beliefs that there are no other beings created by God according to his likeness. Who created those beings then? This is a great question that would bother all of us. Focus to what's more important rather than generating a futile argument that could just waste our time, energy and sanity. Thanks for sharing this post.
Hi again @fycee!
It is true that there are many other problems that require our full attention. And I suppose many people don't agree with the space explorations being conducted by NASA and other institutions around the world. They spend too much money creating spacecraft and stations off the planet.
Man (and woman) cannot help wondering about their origin and I suppose that expanding our minds to new paradigms such as space travel and knowledge of the vast universe, is what has evolved technology and human thinking. And of course, we can't avoid to ask ourselves: are we alone?
As I said to a dear friend, down below:
I guess that's why the aliens haven't manifested openly. They can't interfere with our own evolution... Or are they doing that?
Thanks for your time
Cheers!
Thanks so much for the response. It just crossed my mind and led me into thinking, are these explorations just a big scam? They could probably hire good programmers who worked for the top of the charts movies just to create a scene that they are actually doing these explorations and get all the funding they could have. and it costs Billions of Dollars which came from the pockets of taxpayers. Darn!
Another thing, I guess it's what we call faith. We believe about their existence without even being proven. And it also calls the same thing with our faith to God being tested. His existence was not yet proven as well but we do believe in Him.
I think that although the more orthodox religions may stagger, what will endure will be those with more faith.
Dear @fycee

damn... now i can't wait to see what you have for #electricdreams!
This is another fascinating question throw up by the prompt, especially with silent aliens. I feel like initially, there would be a loss of membership among organised religion, followed by a re-uptake/influx of new members as preachers found ways to reconcile the two. Or maybe even a boom in religion world over! In fact, putting my money on the table.
We would have religious splintering, as organisations argued about how to interpret it, this brakdown in unity would lead to a splitting of power, and ultimately a void caused by uncertainty, as those who once identified as - for example X, now feel torn between Xa (stating their god also created the aliens), Xb (the aliens were what they called god) and Xc (god made us, but not aliens, therefore we are superior). Some would gain popularity, others would fizzle out, but in the end... there would only be one...
Giorgio A. Tsoukalos! He will be declared a visionary and prophet. Most people will chose to follow him, those who don't will be shunned as nonbelievers, and there will be a societial scramble to slap stickers of the new aliens beings over the faces of the old gods, just like we did all that time ago with Christianity.
And we will all dance round under the spaceship, shaking our hands, and declaring aliens, aliens, aliens, aliens. Right? Ahaha
This is hilarious and quite on point. We fabricate religions to justify our lack of understanding in the world around us, and the first religion (current or new) to justify their existence will probably be the one to take over.
Of course, it also depends on where these aliens are first encountered with mass exposure. Was it Mexico or the Middle East? Well the US will probably deem them bad and say they are agents "against God" and we'll try to blow them up. Anywhere else and we'll probably think they have something they can offer us.

Finally, I get to your comment! YAY!!! I'm answering all the post chronologically.
Hello my dear and appreciated @calluna!
Well, is a little longer than I thought and I'm feeling like embarrassed about the story. It's just that somehow the story went off on a side that I hadn't foreseen and well, sometimes it happens to me that my hand writes things I have no idea where they come from, hahaha.
Well, you gonna see it soon enough
I think I've heard that phrase in a movie... And I think it was Highlanders, where immortals had to fight until there was only one left at the end, which would be the strongest of all.
You're right, in the end, religions will survive, they always find the way.
I think I know that Giorgio A. Tsoukalos from somewhere
Sounds a little dramatic and fatalistic. Although I'm sure that the gods we know are the same extraterrestrials who had come here before, many years ago. According to what I have compiled from the comments I have answered.
Thanks for coming by
Thanks a lot my friend @jadams2k18 for sending me the link and thanks for inviting me to say the simple view.
I do not know that there are creatures other than humans in this vast universe, but we can not be sure of that.
As for the religions are eternal existence and will not disappear, perhaps some people change their religion because of the evidence that he found and convince him that this religion is the right religion.
And that life will be destroyed as agreed upon in all religions

If aliens did make contact then it would be the end of religion as we know it. Although science and education are going a long way of dispelling these fables that are causing great hardship on the world at the moment. The negative side of this is that the world's social structure would break down causing looting and vigilantism. Even though I find it hard to believe that a man in a white beard is looking upon me, I do belive for a childs upbringing religion has its place. The difference between good and bad is still something to learn and religion places a big part in setting up a childs belief system early in life. Once they get to be a teenager they can make their own mind up. That is what I believe anyway. ET coming down would be devastating for religion across the globe.
Hello @blanchy!
Excellent analysis.
I guess it's true but I think they're evolving as we speak. They're starting to accept the fact that we're not alone.
I also believe that religion is very important in our lives. I should make a post about that!
I'm glad you took the time to stop by
You do make a point. But if you say religion is only required to inculcate early morals in a child, then it might as well be very useless, especially seeing that the very nature of religion is based on faith instead of proofs. Are kids being manipulated to be good, only for them to make up their minds on whether they want to stay good or not when they hit puberty?
Not to stay good . You can be good and be an atheist. To follow a religion . and to chose to believe in a magician turning one fish into hundreds or a guy that fit two of every species of animal on an ark !
I am a relatively religious person. I believe in God. I like to question all thing I read or heard.
Faith is important. It's what believing that the girl you like the most will really want to go out with you or it's what makes you believe that things will work out no matter how difficult a situation is.
If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything ...
I don't see it as manipulation, I see it as teaching. After they have grown up, they will decide whether or not they agree with what they have learned. Anyway, the inquisitive nature of the human being always superimposes itself.
Besides, this generation has an advantage that had none in more than 2000 years: the Internet.
Sound like a good material for a future post
A very interesting topic .
I have heard it said by people I know that if interplanetary travel was to become possible that it would destroy religion.
So the evidence of life on other planets would definitely change the way some look at religion.
However for me if the world was made by a god or gods then isn’t it plausible that they made the universe also ?
In Babylon 5 a sci fi tv series, they had a few episodes from memory that touched on this .
One was about why one of the characters still believed in religion and another was when an alien no one had seen before was seen in public for the first time without its environmental suit. Everyone who saw it saw the god they believed in.
So it is a subject a lot have obviously thought on and the closer we get to space travel the bigger this discussion will become.
How it will pan out I have no idea . But the human race is resilient and I believe we will be fine .
I guess we will just have to wait and see.
Thanks for sharing,
Have an awesome day!

Hello @mickvir
I was never interested in that Babylon 5 TV series, I'm gonna have to look for it and keep an eye on it. That's the second comment I've heard about it. I'm more in love with Star Trek series (all of them), Star Wars, Star Gate and others that weren't so famous.
Imagine the surprise it would be if we discovered that our deities to whom we pray were actually extraterrestrials. Although that wouldn't affect me, if we can be fans of Linkin Park, Manson, and other human beings; being worshippers of alien entities wouldn't affect at all, from my point of view.
But I could bet it would be a hard blow to humanity.
Everything depends on the attitude how you decide to take situations, that's why you don't have to have rigid mentalities and be flexible like palm trees, which bend when hit by strong winds but withstand calamities without breaking completely.

I have always done the incognita since childhood on this subject, but I came to the conclusion that if there is a superior being, I do not know if this is God of the Catholic Church (which I believe) or another entity.
Regarding the struggle of the church and other organizations, since ancient times it has been seen how the church turns a blind eye to what they do not like and is one of the most charitable organizations and in turn, I really believe in God but not in the church, I was never attracted to go to church even though I studied in a Catholic school I saw many news of corrupt acts and I apologize for getting away from it.
I think that if this happened in a case they would refute everything and the prayers would increase to a degree that was never seen, since humanity is mostly used to resorting to God only to ask and I do not know if these entities are a God or simply civilizacioes with an intellect and technology superior to ours, since those pyramids with the technology that counted in the antiquity would be almost impossible to build and less in the period that says the ancient writings.
thanks @crypto.piotr for let me this post and
Hello @memes777
I like to believe in the teachings of scriptures and masters like Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, among others; not in men or institutions.
The problem is that many bad things have happened in those institutions. I am against priests being celibate, that is to say, not being able to have a partner. That's unnatural. God created both sexes for a reason.
And another is that they have distorted the scriptures a lot. How could there be inquiries and killings in the name of God in the crusades, when Jesus professed to turn his other cheek. He didn't say let's kill those who don't believe, did he?
That's another interesting theory I also share. I'm sure they previously influenced the lives of human beings. And they may still be doing it but in a more subtle and personal way.
Thanks for coming by
I think the theme that planets is really interesting, has not only been an inspiration for my science fiction stories, but also philosophical thoughts, existential doubts, and many imaginary scenarios.
I would like to quote the following:
It is observed that, in the case of atheists, the belief in the existence of superior beings, is more than 50%, while this amount decreases when we enter the other religions.
If we start from the premise, that beings superior to us, have influenced in great magnitude in what today we know as "religion"; then, is religion a mechanism so that through the image of one God, to be superior and omnipotent, we ignore that it can be a superior race alien to our planet?
Theories like this, there are millions, are only born of human thought, and sometimes thinking about non-everyday issues, makes us more creative and aware of the world around us.
The truth is that, the truth does not have anyone until now, it is difficult to know, but even so it is an exciting subject for millions.
If we were to interact with any of these beings, all the bases of our religious beliefs would be weakened. We would be confused, waiting for information, and reviewing past writings ... Personally I think that we are not ready yet, even so I want it to happen as long as I live.
Excellent post!
Thanks @crypto.piotr for bringing me to this wonderful post, my best wishes for you friend.
Hello @aleestra
That is the main reason for this post, to awaken the imagination, to open the mind and to make us more creative and aware of the world around us.
I was commenting down below about that. We may not be ready to establish contact with aliens and I believe that if they do exist, they would also be sure of them. They would wait for us to evolve into a less aggressive and more peaceful species in order to contact us.
Thank you!
Thanks for coming by
Dear @jadams2k18, i believe there could be another earth over the universe, but when we are talking about 5 million light years distance what we are talking about? We cannot go to mars and you think they can come here from so big distance? Near by us there is nothing, near i mean less than 100 light years, it means one entire life at light speed (!!!) is not enough to go out from our galaxy...
Hi @intellihandling!
You're right, the distance could be another problem. Maybe they came thousands of years ago, but given the distance from their natal planets, a return would take thousands of years more. Maybe that's why we don't see any evidence of them.
Very good theory
Thanks for commenting
Interesting question. I think many religions would survive contact. Within the Christian Faith's of which I'm most familiar, the existence of aliens isn't ruled out and they are welcome to become Christian. We might even be the monk planet. Assuming the aliens look somewhat like us, it's not hard to extend "made in his image" to them too. However, even if the aliens look totally different many sects could accept them: remember that for many Christian sects, Israelites are god's chosen people but somehow Christian inherit that upon conversion. An alien could also convert.
The pagan religions could survive too, but might need some adjustments to account for other beings - but must pagan faiths are fine attaching to local phenomena and leaving the rest unexplained.
I'll leave the commentary on Brahmic thought to others more knowledgeable. Western new-agers would find the adjustment easy imo. So would atheists.
Of course, the aliens might bright their own beliefs too.

Hi @eturnerx
I like your point of view, more peaceful and perhaps closer to what could happen in real life.
I'm sure many people won't like to know that aliens bring their own religion and try to impose it as many religions do here.
Statistics prove that there is already an acceptance of the premise of a possible existence of extraterrestrial life by many religions, or at least the most influential ones.
Thanks for passing by
You know, there is many evidence through whole history that aliens exist and may have created us. The Sumerians were telling about star people who made man to dig gold for them. And the entire South America had legends of star people...
By the way humans have reserved place with many privileges regardless of their religion. We actually do play critical role in preservation (and destruction) of the whole planet . I believe in god and creationism (not the bible or quran version). I believe that some kind of conscious intelligence created life. And if god created earth, life and humans, what prevents him/her/it from making another race somwhere far away?
Hi, @modern-trojan.
I think you've hit the nail on the head with everything you've said.
As I said to my fellow martian (I like to say martian, but actually it's an alien as he/she claims to be)
You can read/find it (him/her?) in a few comments below
It's the most logical thing to think.
I'm glad you took the time to stop by
Thanks fellow Martian, I learned a lot from the comments on this section. And you got some great friends here who showed me this post :D

Hello friend @jadams2k18, thank you for sending me the link to this interesting and controversial publication of yours. Particularly I am of the firm conviction that we are not alone in the universe, it is quite selfish to think that only we live in such an immense place. On the other hand, we certainly hear infinite opinions on the subject, many times skeptical, perhaps because of the very distrust of the human being, for religious reasons or simply ignorance.
I have had the opportunity to share the stories of family and friends who have lived experiences of this type and I must confess that I do not have to doubt their veracity.
However, I am open to further research on the subject and to be attentive to any discoveries that may be made.
Greetings.

Religions have already collapsed. Look what happens with the scandals relating to the Christian church, the escalating wars between the different factions of Judaism and the contempt that the modern civilisation feel towards the Islam.
Aliens will make themselves appear as a result of our change of attitude towards religions, rather than a cause for it.
