There are no aliens

If aliens arrived tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d ask them?

I love Star Wars, Star Trek, and Dr. Who. However, I don’t believe in space aliens. They are artificial fantasies that try to explain the natural world without God. Even Richard Dawkins believes in the possibility of space aliens creating us; he just doesn’t want to believe in God.

Even though there are seven clear arguments that Jesus rose from the dead, many people deny that He supernaturally rose from the dead. Some people claim Jesus’ disciples stole the body. Some people claim Jesus didn’t really die and was resuscitated by the cold tomb. Some claim the religious leaders did it. Others claim the Romans did it. Some claim aliens revived Jesus’ corpse. Here are some problems with those views.

Jesus really died. Jesus was scoured. This was done by whips that tore flesh from the bone. Jesus was crucified by experts in killing. Jesus’ heart sack burst and was evidenced by his side being pierced with water and blood out of the wound. He really died.
Jesus disciples couldn’t have stole the body. They were common ordinary people. They were divided. They didn’t get along with each other. They were in hiding for fear they would also be killed. The tomb was sealed with a large stone, had Pilate’s seal placed on it, and was guarded by men trained for war.

Jesus stood against the religious rulers for their hypocrisy. He was constantly warring with them. They would not let people come to synagogue or temple who followed Him. There was no reason for them to give his disciples hope of his resurrection.
The Romans crucified Jesus for proclaiming to be King of the Jews. Officially Jesus would have been crucified for rebelling against Rome. It would have been embarrassing to Rome.

Many people like to blame aliens for things that they do not understand or have to be done through supernatural events. I remember an episode of Star Trek Voyager where Seven of Nine used nanoprobes to resuscitate an alien who died. She said that it worked for up to 74 hours. While that makes great science fiction, it is hardly possible. Aliens do not exist. The possibility for earth to make life by chance is statistically beyond the number of impossibility. It is compounded when people try to add more planets that contain life, have the technology for space travel, and the ability to resuscitate life.

The only reasonable explanation is God raised Jesus from the dead. What we have is a documented miracle in history. Jesus also prophesied that he would die and rise from the dead. Then He did. The only reasonable explanation is that he did what He said He would do. All other explanations are just graspings at the wind.

Bad news: we have all lied, used God’s name in vain, stolen, and looked with lust. We are lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterers at heart. We all deserve to burn in Hell for all eternity.

Good news: God is rich in mercy. He sent Jesus Christ, truly God and truly man, to live a sinless life, die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, and rise from the dead three days later. God calls all people everywhere to repent (turn from sin) and trust in Jesus Christ to save them from sin.

God will seal His people with the Holy Spirit, who keeps His people saved, transforms them from evil to Good, and keeps them holy. God makes everything better.
