Without God, the Universe Cannot be Explained

This blog talks about the Fermi Paradox. Per Wikipedia:

"The Fermi paradox is the apparent contradiction between high estimates of the probability of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations and the lack of evidence for or contact with such civilizations."

The answer to this paradox lies in Genesis.

Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
Genesis 1:26 & 27 "26 Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.' 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."

We have not found any extraterrestrial life because God did not create it. He created the universe, this world and humans to rule over the earth. The answers are in the Bible. Without God, nothing in the universe can be explained. All the evidence supports God and what His Word says. (In all fairness, the author of the blog does make a fleeting reference to God - "This is reminiscent of the God problem and the presence of evil.")

Any theories and the supposed facts and science that support the, such as evolution and E.T.s, are a twisting of the truth, engineered to exclude God. If there is no God, then there is no ultimate moral authority and we are therefore free to make our own rules.

I happen to believe in a literal 6-day creation as presented in Genesis, occurring only a few thousand years ago. I like the ministry Answers in Genesis. I subscribe to their quarterly magazine, which I find very interesting and informative. Check it out.
