What God May Have Intended with the Question of Alien Life

Satan would love it if we became divided over or obsessed with an issue that, most likely, just doesn’t matter instead of focusing on the things that do.

Do UFOs exist?

Do UFOs exist?

I am not aware of a biblical text that categorically vetoes the possibility of life on other planets. However, the logic of such life, combined with the uniqueness of our planet and the necessity of Jesus’ atonement for such beings, leaves me highly doubtful that aliens exist.
