"The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, They have done abominable works, There is none who does good. The Lord looks down from heaven upon the children of men, To see if there are any who understand, who seek God. They have all turned aside, They have together become corrupt; There is none who does good, No, not one." - Psalm 14:1-3
The is a song - For What It's Worth - the chorus goes "It's time we stop, Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look, what's going down?" In that light I would like you to read this carefully
NBC news just broadcast a story saying that scientists believe that they have found proof that life exists on other planets. Some 124 light years from our world lies planet "Super Earth" where everything is said to be covered by vast ocean and a year lasts just 33 days. To get some perspective - 1 light year is equal to 6 Trillion miles which means that the planet k2-18b is 724 trillion miles - let me lay the zeroes out for you - 724,000,000,000,000. Top alien-hunting astronomers at the University of Cambridge say they’re now 99.7% confident they’ve spotted a possible biosignature on the planet that's "teeming with life". They claim to have found the best-ever-seen signal of biological activity on K2-18b - an exoplanet more than twice the size of our Earth where extraterrestrial life possibly exists.
So I wondered, what about the Extra terrestrials that are reported to be darting around our skies in alien spacecraft? Why aren't the scientists trying to figure out where they came from? What about focusing on the exploration of Mars for ancient evidence of life on another planet. Mars is only 140 million miles from earth. Let me tell you what I believe is at the heart of all of this - the wasting of millions, if not billions, of dollars and research. The Lost want to prove that there is no God.
The bottom line is that man does not want to be accountable to a Creator God. He wants to be his own god. If you remember, that all of that started in the Garden. Some people just want to plant a seed of doubt in the minds of the lost - the idea that maybe - just maybe - a creator God and Jesus are just fabrications - a cruel deception. The media - movies and television makes the feasibility of life on other planets more acceptable. If people can see it, then it might actually be possible. And so by rejecting the idea that there is a master designer - Jehovah God - of all that exists - then all of this that we see is just a matter of the roll of the dice. And if it a roll of the dice then it could happen anywhere - some other place or places in the universe.
The astronomers used data from the James Webb Space Telescope to spot fingerprints of two molecules: dimethyl sulphide (DMS) and/or dimethyl disulphide (DMDS) in the planet’s atmosphere. And the results are so convincing that there’s just a “0.3% probability their conclusions are false”.
What that means is, by their calculations, that there is a 99.7% chance their findings are accurate. In other words - it's true that there is some form of life on a planet 744 trillion miles away. Does all of this sound ludicrous? That is because it is. Remember that scientist embrace the Empirical Method. What is that?
The empirical method is a research approach that relies on experimentation, systematic observation, and direct experience. It emphasizes gathering data from real-world evidence rather than relying solely on theoretical speculation (in their mind religion). So hey, one out of three is not bad!
And so how can they be so convinced if they can't even do a little thing like take a weekend trip to the moon which is only 0.00000000003 (0.3 e -10 ) [that is called scientific notation] of the way to k2-18b? Well you get the idea. I will defer to Psalm 14.
What the scientists need is spiritual revelation - just like the rest of the world.
Why share this with you? Because I want you to see the world and what is happening from a Biblical world view. To understand the motivations of sinful man. To understand why it is so important to prove there is life elsewhere - even if it life in its simplest form. That would be good enough for scientists to refute the idea that there is a God. Even if it is just theoretical and unproven.
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools" - Romans 1:18-22
Think about it – Pray about it – Believe it – Confess it - Walk in it. Let your light shine and give God the glory.
By Faith Alone By His Grace Alone And For His Glory Alone
