Summary
The world looks into the skies and asks, Are we alone?
What are these things? Is there other life out there?
As the Church, we don’t need to shrink back from these questions, nor do we need to panic.
In fact, if we open our Bibles, we quickly realize that the scriptures have never presented a lonely, materialistic universe.
Long before modern sensors tracked things moving against the wind or glowing in the clouds, the prophets and apostles wrote extensively about a highly populated, highly active unseen realm.
God is not a territorial deity restricted to Earth, worried about what is flying around in the upper atmosphere.
He is the Architect of the cosmos.
He created the visible and the invisible, the earthly and the heavenly.
Isaiah tells us that He brings out the starry host one by one and calls them each by name.
If there is life on other planets, He created it.
If there are angels—messengers and warriors—zipping through our skies cloaked in clouds of glory and even flying objects, they answer to His command.
