The chances of an alien telling us that they also believed in Jesus are zero but it's an interesting thought. I guess if it did happen I'd simply drop dead of heart failure. I think it's highly likely that life exists on other planets where the conditions are right. Of course it would be the result of evolution just like it was here. I'm just not so sure that intelligent life with technology is common. When you consider all of the countless millions of species that have lived on this planet at one time or another it's only happened once. That is extremely rare on a planet that filled with living organisms.

You are thinking of Lewis Carol...CS Lewis wrote The Chronicles of Narnia and a bunch of other stuff.

Not to be argumentative (who me? argumentative) but it definitely is C.S. Lewis who wrote The space trilogy that I referred to.

It really doesn't seem like maybe something he would write ...or maybe it does, but he did (as well as the Narnia stuff which you mentioned.)

Oh I'm not saying he didn't write the space trilogy, it was actually republished after his death as The Space Trilogy in 1975, originally they were three books titled Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra and The Hiddeous Strength. I was just trying to help out Dcn with the reference to Allice in Wonderland (children's classic) and Narnia (also a children's classic) which is easily confused, in my hormonally challenged brain anyway.

Default for believers

Of course I believe there is life out in that neverending universe somewhere (when the bible was written they thought the world was flat and that their area was all there was) Anyay I Know there is definitely life on mars, because isn't that where men are from? Then there is my favorite place where all my female relatives and friends are from, Venus..Isn't it called the hottie planet?

Sorry for additional confusion. Didn't read earlier post. I'm probably still not awake yet....at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it!
