...Christianity its...unacknowledged? Judasim: The Jewish Talmud states that there are at least 18,000 other worlds, but provides little elaboration on the nature of those worlds, or on whether they are physical or spiritual. Based on this, however, the 18th century exposition "Sefer HaB'rit" posits that extraterrestrial creatures exist, and that some may well possess intelligence. It adds that humans should not expect creatures from another world to resemble earthly life any more than sea creatures resemble land animals.

Hinduism: Hindu beliefs of endlessly repeated cycles of life have led to descriptions of multiple worlds in existence and their mutual contacts (Sanskrit word sampark (???????) means "contact" as in Mahasamparka (??????????) = "the great contact"). According to Hindu scriptures, there are innumerable universes to facilitate the fulfillment of the separated desires of innumerable living entities. However, the purpose of such creations is to bring back the deluded souls to correct understanding about the purpose of life. Aside from the innumerable universes which are material, there is also the unlimited spiritual world, where the purified living entities live with perfect conception about life and ultimate reality. The spiritually aspiring saints and devotees, as well as thoughtful men of the material world, have been getting guidance and help from these purified living entities of the spiritual world from time immemorial.

Islam: Within Islam, the statement of the Qur'an "All praise belongs to God, Lord of all the worlds" suggests multiple universal bodies, and maybe even multiple universes, which may indicate extraterrestrial and even extradimensional life

According to Ahmadiyya Islam a more direct reference from the Quran is presented by Mirza Tahir Ahmad as a proof that life on other planets may exist according to the Quran. In his book, Revelation, Rationality, Knowledge & Truth, he quotes verse 42:29 "And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and of whatever living creatures (da'bbah) He has spread forth in both..."; according to this verse there is life in heavens. According to the same verse "And He has the power to gather them together (jam-'i-him) when He will so please"; indicates the bringing together the life on Earth and the life elsewhere in the Universe. The verse does not specify the time or the place of this meeting but rather states that this event will most certainly come to pass whenever God so desires. It should be pointed out that the Arabic term Jam-i-him used to express the gathering event can imply either a physical encounter or a contact through communication.

In Shia Islam the 6th Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq has been quoted as saying that there are living beings on other planets.

Christianity: When Christianity spread throughout the West, the Ptolemaic system became very widely accepted, and although the Church never issued any formal pronouncement on the question of alien life, at least tacitly, the idea was aberrant. In 1277, the Bishop of Paris, Étienne Tempier, did overturn Aristotle on one point: God could have created more than one world (given His omnipotence). Taking a further step, and arguing that aliens actually existed, remained rare. Notably, Cardinal Nicholas of Kues speculated about aliens on the Moon and Sun.

Julian just because your IQ is too low (same as your age) doesn't mean you have to troll at me just because you can't find a good argument about my question.
 
That Quran verse is very vague and doesn't say anything. "worlds" for all we know could mean Earth, heaven, and hell. We would need an expert in this kind of stuff to tell.
 
I have no idea wither there is or is not...but how is that relevant to christianity?

Either way why would christianity state a universal belief on the subject when it has no relevance to us? In any case the pope acknowledged alien Intelligent life is probable.
 
Yes, REAL ISLAM does.

Christianity probably did say they did in the beginning.
Then humans corrupted the Bible.
 
Um...
I can't answer the first half of your question (Islam, Judaism, Hinduism) because I wouldn't be qualified.
As for the second half... Is there any reason Christianity *should* acknowledge the existence of extraterrestrials? There are two explanations for why it doesn't: Either they don't exist, or they're not important for us to know about.
 
In the Bible, God does not tell us about any life on other planets. Conversely, He does not say that there aren't beings on other planets. BUT, there are some tantalizing hints that have made me wonder. Our Lord said that He has "other sheep" which are not "of this fold". There are also references to "principalities and powers", in Heaven. That sounds to me like other beings, other than the angels or the souls of saints.

When we consider that God, is from eternity past, which means an unlimited amount of time from our perspective, you really have to wonder about the possibilities of previous Creations. Hundreds maybe, or thousands. Trillions?

I don't have any proof of life on other planets, but then again I don't have any proof that it doesn't exist. Its a heck of an idea to think about.

Good question.
 
if the earth isnt at the center of the universe its blasphemy

according to christians that is
 
I know that Islam and Hinduism recognizes the presences of "jinns" (hence the word "jeanie") or trouble makers in our lives from other worlds or dimensions. "Jinn (Arabic: ?? jinn, singular ??? jinn?; variant spelling djinn) or genies are supernatural creatures in Arab folklore and Islamic teachings which occupy a parallel world to that of mankind. Together, jinn, humans and angels make up the three sentient creations of Allah. According to the Qur’?n, there are two creations that have free will[citation needed]: humans and jinn. Religious sources say barely anything about them; however, the Qur’an mentions that jinn are made of smokeless flame or "scorching fire". Like human beings, the jinn can also be good, evil, or neutrally benevolent." -wikipedia-

When Christianity converted the pagan nations, many of them believed in fairies, leprechauns, mehunies, gnomes, and giants. Christianity forbade the belief in anything but the story of the life of Christ for the new Christian nations and invoked the First Commandment to enforce it. Many new Christian people quietly incorporated their pagan beliefs into their new faith, so we still have stories of "little people" who interfere in our lives and other beliefs. Some believe that the concept of patron saints are a remnant of a pagan belief as is the belief in a Virgin Mary a replacement for the Goddess.

Christians do believe in angels and demons however. "SATAN" is a Hebrew concept that was incorporated into Christianity. I believe the story of Lucifer is in the Book of Revelations.

Unlike the Jews who incorporated others' beliefs into their monotheistic faith, Christians converted the nations of the Earth and did not allow other beliefs.

That is short and to the point and hope it helps.
 
yes that's true. there could be ET's out there and islam doesn't confirm or deny it. only God knows.
 
oh my god, another troll. Leave them alone, if they want to believe in gods, titans, or whatever they want to believe, it's fine. as long as they don't use that as an excuse to kill and rape and steal etc...

Ok, that was my polite answer. Here is the real answer: It's garbage. All those "holly" books are utter garbage, useless, and the only good thing they do is to tame the crowds. You are approaching a serious dilemma with a religious perspective. that's idiotic.
