What would a first contact with Aliens do to religion?

kirstenblogposted 11 years ago
I have often wondered if we were to make first contact with an advanced alien race, how would that change the view on religion and God. Religion seems to assume God made the earth and all the creatures on it with humans at the pinnacle of that life. What if we met aliens were were more advanced and intelligent then we? What if they showed us that we are not the pinnacle of 'gods creation'? Would people still find a way to believe in their religions?

What if those aliens said 'Um, actually we made you guys, quite a while ago now, mostly to see if we could'? Could you still believe you were made by God? Would those aliens be your Gods?

  If aliens made us, then they would be our God...
  
  The question is, what kind of aliens? If we met aliens that were human, I think it would be a grand testament to religion. I actually think this is the case, but we would probably be so far apart for it to be impossible for us to contact each other. After all, the universe is really, really big. Really.

  It depends on where we and aliens at last meet for that kind of discussion. If we launch up to meet them at their home, we'll claim to be their gods, because we're intelligent than them. If they launch to follow us down to the earth to claim they're the gods, we shall ask them that why have they delayed all those ages until we obtained this god we have now. They'll first have to conquer this god we have to make us trust them.

  No it won't. It will become clear that the aliens were created by God merely as a tool to make us, just as evolution was. The ability of the mind to rationalize whatever belief is held dear is astounding.

  Well, its a huge "what if" question. If it did happen though, perhaps some might consider if they could be the intelligence with a mind that put forth the decision and precision it would take to have all we see and observe. So the particular details would matter. As of yet, there hasn't been anything quite like what we see as God's own revelation of himself to us in the various ways he has. Jesus being the biggest. If the scenario you describe were true, that idea would have a lot of obstacles to overcome, like why the silence until now, and why now the huge 180 degree turn in sharing itself suddenly.

  Cracked.com had a funny article on which religions are most and least affected by contact with aliens. Their ruling was that Buddhism and Hinduism, which already see other animals as having souls, would have the least issue with contact with aliens, though Hindus might have to rearrange the caste system.
  The monotheist faiths, it said, would have the hardest time reconciling aliens with the faith.

If the aliens showed us that they had stopped here a few million years back and adjusted some simians DNA to start us along, the only thing that would change is that brighter people might take their religious texts less seriously.

Most, however, would just say that they always looked at it as allegory and wouldn't change their minds at all. Even if the aliens were all atheists, the theists would either just ignore that or insist that they are tools of the devil and the nonsense goes on forever.

Without answers to our most basic questions, religion would lumber on. If the aliens claimed they made us, I'd need proof. That's an incredibly long time from point A to B. So a civilization that had lasted that long could certainly be advanced enough; doesn't mean they did.

However, setting things in motion for evolution to take place isn't universe building. So we'd need an explanation there. A total explanation. Everything from a blueprint of how it was done, to where stuff goes when black holes disappear.

It's a giant leap from saying 'We did it' to proving it. It would take us hundreds of years to verify. After that? If they are telling the truth? I would think religion would be dead.

  I do have logical proof. It would never satisfy a theist or even many agnostics, but I consider it irrefutable.
  
  Simply:
  
  Any complex being must be composed of simpler parts.
  Those simpler parts had to exist before the being.
  Therefore, any supposed god either has to be the product of evolution as we are or a fortuitous assembly of the parts. It is no "god". It's just a creature like us.

  JaxsonRaineposted 11 years agoin reply to this
  A couple of problems with that. If matter is eternal, then why would it have to have existed in its most basic form at some point? If matter can be eternal, then so can complex arrangements of matter. That idea has a sense of a 'beginning' in it.
  
  Secondly, it would be possible for a being to evolve and discover how to manipulate, let's call it 'energy', to overcome mortality and manipulate the elements. There is no reason to think our universe is the only one, so maybe this being figured out how to travel between universes or dimensions, and figured out how to create its own universes. In fact, if you look at it from a statistical standpoint, it is more likely that this did happen than didn't.
  
  Here's why: We have our universe. Everything we know is internal to our universe and relative to our space-time that started with the Big Bang. Outside of our universe could be anything, but if dense energy could exist somewhere in this 'outer area' in one instance, and we assume this 'outer area' to be infinite and eternal, then it would stand to reason that there would also be an infinite number of these energy-balls, and an infinite number of universes.

I am a bit aggravated, I wrote this really long reply and tried to post it but it didn't post for some reason. So, I will attempt a condensed version and see what happens.

I have spent much of the last 25 years researching the possible connection between religion and science, so this is quite interesting to find this hub simply by chance. I think there would be many fanatics that would refuse to question their own religion, whether it be out of fear or loyalty or whatever. Wars would probably result as they almost always do every time a religious belief is questioned. What so many people don't come to terms with is that religion is supposed to be questioned, it is right there in the writing of almost every religion through out history. People are supposed to seek out the truth whatever that might be. If aliens did make an appearance at this point in time it would likely be a disaster, that could well be why they haven't. If you do a bit of research you would find that the oldest known religion in the world actually states that we were in fact created by a superior race as slaves to help them mine for precious materials, specifically gold. Furthermore, many of the stories told in the Bible are simple echoing the stories told in their writings, just credited to a different source. Another interesting topic is how the Bible was created, it was commissioned by a King and was severely censored by those in power at the time, they left out nearly 10 times more writings than they included, though over half of what was omitted was considered as authentic as what they chose to include. I am only beginning to scratch the surface of the wealth of information that is available to anyone who desires to do a bit of research.

Once again we see atheism trying to take on a religious format. It's close to scientology but more like SCIENCology.

Perhaps the answer to that question is not hidden truth.
For those who seek truth than start with Genesis 6:4.
"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown."

There is much information on the internet and in books to study and form ones own conclusions.

  The 33d Degree is supposedly the highest level in Freemasonry and our 33rd President Truman was one. He voted for Israel to become a nation and authorized the atomic bombs being dropped on Japan. There is great doubt FDR would have done either of those actions. So the evil-cabal of global-elite had to get socialist VP Wallace off the 1944 ticket and a Mason or Bonesman on. Then they had to get FDR gone. The undertaker who dressed FDR's body for burial said there was a gunshot wound to the head and it might have been self-inflicted. You will notice the Georgia Guidestones are also near the 33d degree latitude as the other mysterious places I mentioned are. So is Madagascar.

  The Scriptures are a measuring stick as to what is true and what is false. God made sure we would know full well who or what the antichrist is. There are many antichrists but there is only one that fits the bill on all points of Bible prophesy in the Book Of Daniel. That is the papacy (a system and not individuals).

As an aside I noticed the sites you posted nearly match Good News
Magazine and some 7th Day Adventist stuff I've read. I too believe Saturday is the sabbath but have been a born-again believer since '79 always going to church on Sunday. My wife refuses to consider any church but the formerly Baptist church we have been members of for over 15yrs. The SDA forbids eating pork so I ruled them out as I can't refuse bacon. Any thoughts?
