People speculate about aliens. Do they exist? Are they coming here? To the first question, I have my doubts. We live on a very privileged planet. For instance, the solar eclipse is built into space’s routine for our observation. If thousands of variables did not line up perfectly, we would never be able to see it. Eclipses are nonexistent or unviewable from the surface of other planets beyond our solar system with their own routines in other galaxies with their own stars and moons. I do not believe in coordinated, repeatable, and eternal coincidences. This amazing spectacle among others reminds earthly humans we have a Good God. His love for us is proven in the vast and absurd creations only God’s wisdom could provide.

Are they coming here? No. Even if they existed, they would have to be tiny to survive space travel. I mean small, like the size of a nanoparticle. The reasons for this are found here.

Evidence for the Father God of the Bible exists in abundance. Anyone can see that coincidences do not often repeat themselves in sequential order in any other realm. Why then do coincidences theoretically abound in explanations of nature other than God? Motives vary, but three are observable.

1. An eager desire to avoid giving up personal control to a God who expects obedience and holds judgment for a day in the future. 2. Genuine atheists feel they have come to this conclusion wisely. Pride does not seem to play a part in their awareness. Ignorance of the things of God due to a lack of openness may hold them back. 3. Perhaps disbelief results from the rancid behaviors of some persons who claim to represent God.

Ignorance is fixable through education. Closed minds are opened the same way. Hearts and thinking patterns – all changeable.

John 1:1-5 nlt

In the beginning the Word already existed.
    The Word was with God,
    and the Word was God.
He existed in the beginning with God.
God created everything through him,
    and nothing was created except through him.
The Word gave life to everything that was created,
    and his life brought light to everyone.
The light shines in the darkness,
    and the darkness can never extinguish it.
