Because man used free will to disobey God, introducing something other than pure good.

Does the clay ask the potter who made him? Bible says there are some things beyond human understanding, and God is one of them. It would be like an ant trying to understand quantum physics: Pointless.

This is absurd, and you are absurd for suggesting it as a real argument.

Pretty sure this is a troll, but then why couldn't God include both goodness and free will and defy logic? He's God, isn't he omnipotent? And if you're going to whip out "God moves in mysterious ways" don't even bother responding.

There where also bactterias that are COMPLETLY UNKNOWN to earth or Alien to earth.

I am full of rage. If God is beyond human understanding, and their are 2000+ gods across global cultures, and even ignoring the possibility of an undiscovered god, you are very much stupid for saying your god is the god.

Falls apart right there, for man to introduce something God did not want he must be either malevolent or not omni-potent.

Apparently I wasn't quite full of rage, as I have discovered more. Every religion has prophets or some other "evidence" of their god(s). What makes your prophets so special?

[Anonymous No.2653147]

>>2653135
God allows man to operate outside his omnipotence. If you're omnipotent, you can also restrict your own power. Thus, free will.

Nothing falls apart.

He's God and he made the universe. Reason follows he also made logic. He could have made logic such that it makes sense for people to have free will and for them to be constantly good.

God created man with free will because he wanted people to love him of their own will, and not because it was the only option. That meant taking a risk.

God created the possibility for evil, he acknowledged that when he told Adam that eating from the Tree of Knowledge would cause him to die. It was man who decided to let evil into the world.

>If you're omnipotent, you can also restrict your own power.
It seems to me that the only way an omnipotent being could actually restrict it's own power is by effectively neutering itself and revoking it's omnipotence. If it's still omnipotent, there are no restrictions on it's powers. Free will and omnipotence cannot exist in the same universe.

[Anonymous No.2653224]

You're dumb, the catholic church even stated that extraterrestrial life didn't contradict their theology

[Anonymous No.2653223]

>>2653200
No?

That's like saying if you can lift 100 pounds, then lifting anything less than 100 pounds is revoking your strength.

Being omnipotent doesn't mean exerting your full power at all times.

No, it doesn't, but it means nothing is beyond your power, meaning an omnipotent god would be able to prevent Man from introducing anything he didn't want, which means the statement of the anon you were replying to holds true.

God acknowledges that not everyone will be born into the faith. Thus, missionaries go out with the sacred duty of spreading the Word. One of the conditions for the end of the world is that the Word of God be spread to all places, so that everyone has a fair chance of converting.

do you guys read the articles or just the headlines? this is the same guy who found "alien life" 7 years ago. bullshit then, probably bullshit now.

1. the "fossils" he found in 2004 turned out to look a whole lot like organisms we see here, but they were inorganic.
2. even if these"fossils" are organic, they were found on earth. more likely an asteroid hit us and what was found was alredy here.

as has been said before: none of us really know anything. wait until this shit is thoroughly reviewed.

note: another similar claim form the 90's:

bottom line: this sort of claim requires evidence and all that has been presented so far (just as in previous cases) are images up to anyone's interpretation.

It's a damn shame, you know.

This could have potentially been a good and decent thread if the OP didn't post it for the sake of trolling christfags.

That said, I'd say there's a good chance we may have found actual life with this one. Hoover released this information to scientific peers before releasing it to the media. Granted it's hyped right now, we may have very well stumbled across something truly groundbreaking.
