Would Christianity be proven wrong if...?

The great thing about having an all knowing all powerful god with text that is very vague is that you can always twist it to suite the situation at that time.

I would guess people would say the proof would be the Nephilim in Genesis!

"One of the core beliefs of Christianity is that humans are exceptional from all the rest of creation because he is divinely appointed." is only one of the core beliefs of some theologians. Other Christian theologians stick to the core belief that there is a creator that wants to have relationships with his creation and that he came to earth to not only as a living example of the life that he wants them to have, but also to redeem them so that a deeper relationship with him is possible. The discovery of an alien life form would only be threatening to the former theologians. The latter usually have space in their belief system for the existence of additional creations.

Theologians who profess in order to support religion, or a particular religion in general, have no answers, because they 're answers only serve to prop up a religion. All religions, as opposed to the actuality of God or Truth, are false -- mostly, in modern times, solely by human ignorance.

Don't get me wrong, God is real. Religion, however, is false and meant to acquire or preserve temporal power and grab all the wealth. The New Testament, for example, was never meant to be taken as history but only mythologically -- a story with a real but esoteric message (Christ speaking to the multitudes in "parables" which is another synonym for "mythology".) It depicts the process of spiritual advancement leading one back home beyond the physical world.

So what theologians and the clergy say, is, in truth, no better than what the individual might honestly but OBJECTLY think about it.

Divinely appointed? Are not angels divinely appointed? In relation to the rest of EARTH'S creatures we are special and not just because of opposable thumbs and the Internet. We are able to have a relationship with God and he can dwell in us through His Spirit.

Do I believe in "aliens"? Yes, read Ezekial and tell me where some of those creatures came from or dwell now. Do I believe in dinosaurs? Yes, read Job and explain what a behemoth and leviathan are, if not an apatasaurus and pleiseaur (or similar creatures).

In non-religious minds, yes.

But I'm sure there is some bible passage that can be 'interpreted' to 'prove' the bible mentions aliens.

Every scientific discovery that contradicts the bible has resulted in rejection of the science or a new interpretation of the bible by Christians.

EDIT: Linda- The bible says 'circle'. A circle is a 2 dimensional shape. In no way can a circle EVER be thought of as a 3 dimensional sphere. An all-knowing, all-powerful ,

deity would know the difference.

Nope, I don't think it would prove Christianity wrong. Actually, there are Biblical references that could be interpreted as allusions to extra-terrestrial life apart from Angels. I think all it would do is expand our horizons and force many Christians to re-evaluate their interpretations of the Bible. I do think that a lot of radicals and extremists will be pushed over the edge, while others immediately try to convert the extra-terrestrials.

I don't know that there is anything in the Bible that says there can't be life on other planets, it just says that all the planets and the universe as a whole was created through Christ (and that He is sovereign over all of it).

Also, there is even speculation that much or all UFO activity is demonic in nature....which would put a whole new twist on things...

Send as many thumb's down as you like, I don't care, but there was one satanist (who later became a christian) who had a vision of hell and in hell, all the demons were building spaceships and had the appearance of traditional aliens (sometimes referred in paranormal terms as grays), then satan had decreed that they would use these to turn people away from believing in God... something to think about

In Genesis it states that God created the heavens and the Earth. In the original Hebrew text, "heavens" means: HEAVEN OF HEAVENS" IE. the universe and all that is in it. And since God created all of this, if there are any aliens, that means God created them too. The focus of the Christian, however, should be focused on their own relationship with God and those which He puts in our path.

If you're waiting for that to happen good luck, there's nothing out there bro, aliens are extradimensional not extraterrestrial. Spirit beings whose sole purpose is to divert humanity's attention away from God.
