#51:Our Intelligence is Being Used Nonsensically
Not So Much How, but Why. To my knowledge, the Bible, Old Testament and New, is the best written source of who God is and what He expects from intelligent life in physical form. And yet, our Bible does not mention other worlds that, most definitely, support intelligent life. The writers of the Bible knew absolutely nothing of the possibilities of intelligent life in our Milky Way galaxy or in the rest of our vast universe. Their conception of what the universe consisted of was that the flat earth to be the center of the universe and the stars in our Milky-Way Galaxy to be just small objects to light up the night skies as they revolve around the earth. The Bible seems to portrays God’s concerned with life only on this planet. Well, that portray is incomplete.
Could anyone imagine what would have been the result if God somehow attempted to reveal to Paul or to Jesus the vastness of our universe and the potential for intelligent life in these other worlds? My theory is that there is an infinite amount/number of worlds which God has or is in the process of creating that are capable of supporting intelligent life. It is now believed that there are 400 billion stars in our galaxy and 50 billion galaxies in the universe. Of course, that is according to the distance our present-day telescopes can peer. Again I believe, there are an infinite number of galaxies in an infinite universe which support an infinite number of intelligent godlike beings.
Though the physical makeup of that intelligent life may be extremely different than our human race, most may have the ability to believe in an abstract God. I ask this question, what is our connection with inhabitants of these other worlds? Answer. Once intelligence is developed, through the process I have coined God’s evolution process; most, including ourselves, have the ability to believe in an abstract God. Before a person is able to live in a way that could bring completeness of life, one must in no way attempt to evade this most crucial question: What is the reason for the existence of our vast universe, or does it exist for no apparent reason, as some believe? If one says, “That fact is beyond our understanding.” That answer is unacceptable. They are evading the question that can tell us more about ourselves than any other question. I truly believe the universe was created by God through the laws of physics for one explicit reason: as a means for God to infinitely duplicate himself.
That seems to imply that God is made up of an infinite number of beings like Himself. Every God has its own world to govern and to somehow continue duplicating Himself, like the ameba. Since all these entities (Gods) are unified with one purpose, we must go to the singular and say, “There is and always will be but one God.” Jesus Christ is the God of planet earth. Let me elaborate on the aforementioned and possibly repeat myself in the next few paragraphs in the next post.
