Dear @jadams2k18
Very unusual topic and I never came across anyone who would discuss this issue. It does surely sound like SF movie :)
First of all, do you believe in aliens?
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.
Could religions collapse before the arrival of extraterrestrials to our planet?
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)

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

There are many indigenous communities that had contact with divine beings, I suppose they were extraterrestrials. Maybe Jesus was an alien

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

I also loved sci-fi movies and reading conspiracy theories too.
There are many things hidden on this planet, as well as outside it.

Excellent evaluation perfectly presented!
If opportunities arise, one human being will try to exploit another without any least botheration, which is what you have reflected in your comment wonderfully!
