There is only one God (Isaiah 45:21-22), and He created the heavens and the earth, and all living things (Genesis 1).
He made the stars for the sole purpose of giving light to the earth, to govern the day and the night on the earth, and to separate light from darkness on the earth (Gen. 1:16b-18), not for housing other beings.
The earth was the focus of His attention, around which his other creations revolved.
Earth is the only planet in the universe that has intelligent life. After all these many years of UFO reports, all we have is some burnt grass and blurry photo's.
The search for radio signals from other than earth, for the past 30 years, has come up empty. The source of unexplained ufo's is from a source beyond our physical universe.
We believe they are a spiritual manifestation and are perpetrated by fallen angels. They probably get a big kick out of it, like a bunch of juvenile delinquents.
People always say, "With all these billions of stars there has to be life elsewhere". But these billions of stars were actually necessary for heavy elements to exist on our planet. It's not a waste.
We suspect our Creator was more concerned about us than about hydrogen gas (what stars are made of).
If they do ever find life on Mars, it came from here, from asteroid impacts that shot chunks of Earth into space.
The Bible teaches that God created a unique race of being called humans , with the uniqueness of being created in His Image, living on a unique planet .
http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1096.cfm mars other life deception they create it so youll not think of God!
This uniqueness extends to the fact that Jesus Christ descended to Earth from Heaven to die for our sins.
The Bible never mentions another race of people, on other planets.
If people can be convinced that other beings -- Extra Terrestrials -- DO exist, they will no longer believe in Christianity!! At least that is the New World Order Plan.
Without intelligent, creative input, lifeless chemicals cannot form themselves into living things.
Without this unfounded evolutionary speculation, UFOlogy would not have its present grip on the public imagination.
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork...Psalms 19:1 this is why it was all created !
The reasons stars were made are given to us in several places in the Bible, not only in the well-known Psalm 19 but especially in the Creation account.
In Genesis 1:14 we read: ‘And God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to divide between the day and the night. And let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years.’
Thus God made the stars for mankind on Earth, not for another alien race ‘out there.’
Add to this the sequence of creation (on the first day the earth, and only on the fourth day the stars), and it is easy to see the thrust of the biblical testimony, that the purpose of creation is uniquely centered on this Earth.
‘research has shown that people who are not affiliated with any church, but who claim that they are religious, are particularly susceptible to the possible existence of extraterrestrials. For them, UFOlogy is a substitute religion.’
The Bible goes somewhat deeper in this matter, identifying a supplementary cause and effect:
‘Whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceit of unrighteousness in those who perish,
because they did not receive the love of the truth, so that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.’ (2 Thess. 2:9–11)
The devil has his own repertoire of deception in the form of various occult practices and a multitude of religious rites.
It could be that behind those unexplainable UFO reports there is the work of the arch-deceiver.
UFO reports, by definition, remain nebulous and not identifiable. People who do not know Christ are easily fascinated by all sorts of phenomena that are difficult to explain.
For Christians there is Jesus’ warning in Matthew 24:4 to ‘Take heed that no man deceive you.’ What is the best antidote to deception?
Paul exhorts us, in 2 Timothy 2:15, to ‘study’ the Scripture, so we might ‘accurately handle the word of truth.’

To the student of Scripture, UFO's are clear indications of spiritual deception, demonic activity, foisted on the world to turn souls away from God and to themselves or to another savior. http://ibainfo.org/tt/ufo.html

I would like to point out some very interesting scriptures along these lines which I think will help resolve the sightings that can't be resolved in other ways. If you would turn with me to Hebrews chapter 7, I'd like to ask you to look at Verse 27.
This one verse proves that there's no such thing in reality as an Unidentified Flying Object. Hebrews 7:27. The writer here is talking about Jesus Christ and he says this, ".
..who does not need daily like those high priests to offer up sacrifices first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people because this He did,
ONCE for all, when He offered up Himself."
Notice it says there that our Lord Jesus made a ONE time sacrifice for all. Jesus made that sacrifice on this planet. He did not go to another planet and be crucified again.
He did not go to another planet elsewhere in the galaxy and be crucified again. He didn't go from planet to planet dying for all of the intelligent beings on those planets. Notice it says there that
he offered himself up ONCE for all.
There is not intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. If there were, Jesus would have died for them on their planet, but He did not. There's one sacrifice that He made. It was on the planet Earth for the human beings that are here.
They will never discover intelligent life elsewhere and my theory is they'll never discover life elsewhere in the universe. It was unique to the planet Earth when God made it.
If you would turn over to the ninth chapter of Hebrews, notice Hebrews 9:28, a similar passage here. Hebrews 9:28. "So Christ also having been offered
ONCE to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time for salvation
without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him." Notice again it says there was a
ONCE for all sacrifice. It was on this planet.
He did not sacrifice Himself on any other planet.
If that is correct, and I think that is, it was
ONE time for people on the planet Earth.
It means there's nobody on any other planets in the universe.!!
Then what about these sightings that cannot be explained by physical causes?
II Thessalonians verse 8, where the apostle Paul is describing the man of sin, the man of lawlessness.
This is a representative of the general person today that rejects God, rejects Jesus Christ.
Paul was describing how this kind of rejection will take place.
Notice II Thessalonians 2, beginning at verse 8. "And then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming.
" That is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan with all power and signs and false wonders and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved.
Please look at verse 11: "And for this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they might believe what is false in order that they may all be judged who did not believe the truth but took pleasure in wickedness."
Beloved, that is a very deep passage there.
Let's go back and notice that Paul is describing the atmosphere of lawlessness,
when people reject God, when they don't love the truth as it says in verse 10. It says in verse 12, when they don't believe the truth,
they take pleasure in wickedness.
What Paul says here is when people reject God, God allows Satan to send them a deluding influence. It says in verse 9 Satan has all power and signs and false wonders.
God allows Satan therefore to delude people.
The passage therefore says that when people believe error, reject God, rebel against God, God allows Satan to give them something that will show to the world that they're lost.
Notice again verses 11 and 12: " For this reason God will send upon them a
deluding influence so that they might believe what is false in order that they might all be judged who did not believe the truth but took pleasure in wickedness."
I believe this explains these sightings and the connection with the occult and so forth. God is allowing Satan to deceive those people who have rejected God.
What about the sightings? I think it gets back right here in II Thessalonians 2 to what Paul was saying. Those that reject God, those who are going to be lost anyway,
God allows Satan to send upon them a deluding influence so that it will be clear to the bystander that these people are going to be lost. They believe in ghosts. The same thing can be said today along the lines of flying saucers in our society.
the truth is, that UFO's do not exist in reality. The Bible teaches that. The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ died once for all here upon the planet Earth and that rules out life in outer space.

There is only one God (Isaiah 45:21-22), and He created the heavens and the earth, and all living things (Genesis 1). He made the stars for the sole purpose of giving light to the earth, to govern the day

For the spiritually-minded, scripture discredits the notion that aliens are a race from a faraway planet. And for those who prefer to operate in a scientific realm, mathematical logic discounts the possibility as well.
The nearest star, Alpha Centauri, is 4.5 light years away. Even if extraterrestrials traveled a million miles a day, it would take 70,000 years at over 41,000 mph just to make the journey to earth!
That fact alone suggests that these creatures are not constrained by time or aging the way humans are. If they aren't "space men," who or what are they, and where do they come from?
