saxyroze Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 How do you think the Christian society would react if scientists found proof of life, or once was life, on Mars? I mean, their bible doesn't talk about god creating life on any other planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulf Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 I think it would have to be irrefutable proof. Even then, the Fundies would probably come up with some alternate definition of life that would exclude what was found. Most of them would dismiss any evidence of life as easily as they dismiss fossil records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skankboy Posted March 6, 2006 Share Posted March 6, 2006 Most of them would dismiss any evidence of life as easily as they dismiss fossil records. I agree. I don't believe ANYTHING could be "irrefutable" proof in the eyes of many religous people. That's what faith is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, their bible doesn't talk about god creating life on any other planet. They would probably send missionaries to the other planet to tell them about Jebus' not-so-free gift. Seriously though, it probably wouldn't mean anything to most of them because Gawd only gave people souls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBeeland Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 The first thing they'd do is probably press congress to deny their rights to same-sex marriage, birth control, and abortion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGJ@ReligionisBullshit Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I think they would find the "Mars Texts" that the Catholic Church somehow misplaced all these years in their basement that provides scriptural references to the "Red Planet" and God's first world. But the people who lived on that planet were sinning so he destroyed them in an apocolypse and started anew on Earth with his Chosen People. They will then go on to say that if we sinners don't change our ways then God will destroy this planet as well and move on to Venus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatifidontwantausername? Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Actualy they would just change what they said all along from there isnt any life on mars because the bible never mentions mars to there is life there because any time that there is god there is life. Trust me I have heard the arguments. It happened in church one day at Only Beleive Ministries (Or Theo-nazi training as I call it) -Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
