That can't jibe with their beliefs. Although, they do have dinosaurs and people living within like 20 years of each other and have no problem with that.
Life on other planets would be HUGE for scientologists though! Recruitment through the roof!
Daniel, I don't understand why you say that the existence of life on Mars would not be consistent with creationist beliefs. If God created the universe in 6 days (on the 7th he watched NFL football all day), why would this not be part of his master plan?
I'm not a creationist, but I don't see how this would discredit their belief system - in fact, it could even strengthen it.
I'm a pretty well versed Catholic, and everything I have been taught in religious studies pointed to God creating Earth and its animals, and then wanting more and creating man in his image, who then named all the animals. Planets outside of this one were not a part of that. Now, my personal beliefs differ from Catholic doctrine and other versions of Christianity, but strict creationists believe this planet is the only one God blessed with life. As far as I understand it.
How did Adam come up with the word "giraffe"?
