Quest for Civilization
in Space
Modern man has admitted the possibility of a Creator indirectly. The truth of the matter is that the existence of a living man is evidence of a living God.
For the last few decades, scientists in the West have been carrying out a strange kind of research—listening for life in space.
The modern theory of evolution has given rise to this quest. The explanations furnished to prove the evolutionary concept of life presuppose the existence of life forms in some parts of outer space, resembling the life forms on earth. Therefore, space flights also aim to contact those life forms, among other things. Such an assumption led to the conviction that an extraterrestrial civilization exists.
In addition to space flights, giant antennas have been set up in the U.S.A. and other developed countries. These antennae are called Radio ears. They serve to send signals to outer space. Very highly sensitive instruments have also been installed to receive the expected signals.
A commentator reviewing these efforts has summed it up in these words: “If you are there, please call your friends.” (Time Magazine, March 21, 1983)
Life and consciousness are unique phenomena in the whole universe. Since this consciousness could never have come into being by itself, it necessarily involves the existence in the space of life and consciousness on a greater plane—the source of life on earth.
Modern man has admitted the possibility of a Creator indirectly. His existence, however, is being explained away simply in terms of there being some life forms in space—forms resembling ours, but not necessarily superior to them, just another form of civilization and not a Lord and a Creator. Whereas the truth of the matter is that the existence of a living man is evidence of a living God.
