According to astronomers the Milky Way galaxy has approximately 300 billion stars. Every star is a sun just like ours, this means there are 300 billion suns in our galaxy alone. If every sun has planets around them, could there be life on those planets? Are we alone in the universe? My opinion is yes, we are alone. In my opinion the answer to this question comes down to your world view, there are currently two competing world views on the origins of mankind. The first view says that time, space and all matter came from an unknown, unassisted explosion billions of years ago. Everything you see came from that explosion and all of life including humans grew and evolved slowly over time from smaller life forms. This is called the "Theory of Evolution". If you believe this theory it makes sense that you would also believe this process could happen somewhere else also. The second theory says that humans were specially and purposely created by an intelligent mind, most refer to this mind as God. This is the theory that I believe and its called creation. Most people that believe in evolution often say that the universe is so big that it has to have other life. Is the universe as big as we think? I believe it is all about perception. The human body has trillions of cells, does that mean humans are big? It depends on perception. From a Christian perspective it is fairly easy to believe we are alone. God created us unique and became one of us to teach us how to live and to save us. Wouldn't he have to do this on every planet if there were more of us? I believe that God put the stars and galaxies in place for us and we should be in awe of him. Could God have created life on billions of planets? Of course he could have, I don't believe that he did. -BDB (Google Images)
