takes a lot more faith to believe in aliens than to believe in God. It is a new religion with a simple creed: We believe in anything except God! It is entirely up to you, either to believe that you were created by a loving caring God, Who loved you so much that He created you in His own image, or believe that you are one species of a zoo created by little green men. Saint Paul predicted this in Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. Let me paraphrase that for you: Because they did not like God to have any place in their science, God caused their brains to malfunction, so that they do crazy things (like believing in aliens!).

CHAPTER THREE AND GOD SAID LET THERE BE LIGHT And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. (Ge 1:3-5) I am sure that you are all familiar with “magic” shows, where the magician says abracadabra, and then you see a rabbit! I hope that you are sane enough to know that the so called magician did not create the rabbit. It is all illusion, entertaining but not true. Some people in their simplicity think that the word of God, “Let there be light” is like a magical word that caused light to be created. But this is not what the Bible tells us. There are many other verses in the Bible that speak to us about the creation, for example: “ By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.” (Ps 33:6) The Psalm here agrees with Genesis 1:3 about the “word” of the Lord being the cause of the creation of the heavens (the universe). But if we go to Jeremiah 10: 12, we are told: “He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom.” How can we reconcile these verses? Was the universe created by God’s “word” or by His “power” and His “wisdom”? The answer is this: “word”, “power” and “wisdom” are the same! For it is not the spoken word that the Psalmist refers to but the eternal Word, the Logos, the second person of the Holy Trinity. The Fathers are very clear about this: When it is said that God rested on the seventh day from all His works, and hallowed it, we are not to conceive of this in a childish fashion, as if work were a toil to God, who “spake and it was done,”--spake by the spiritual and eternal, not audible and transitory word. 1 1 Augustine of Hippo: City of God, Book XI.
