The Revelations of Genesis (Answering Tough Questions)

Genesis 1:1  The beginning  ( things revealed to us) about  God creating the heavens and the Earth.  Did God create all of the other planets in our solar system too? Certainly!  And did God also create ALL of the other planets in the Galaxy and in the whole universe?  Unquestionably he did; over and over again! So is Earth our planet the only one inhabited by intelligent life forms? I cannot accept that.

In Genesis 1:6-23, God focused on the water, on the land, the ecology and on the biology of the Earth and He called all life that he created good! No doubt God’s creativity extends well beyond the solar system where our planet is situated and well beyond our galaxy that we call the Milky Way.

In Genesis 1:24 God focused on producing more complex life forms which he also called, good!

In Genesis 1:26 God, not stopping with just the animals made a man in his image, in his own likeness to rule over the Earth and over all the other creatures of Earth. More good! So why stop there after all the good things he created on Earth. The universe is limitless, there are numerous suitable planets in the universe where sentient beings could well have been created just like on our Earth.

Genesis 2:16-17 is the troubling story about the tree of the knowledge of good and evil that was instrumental in the fall of man.  Why even put that tree in the garden in the first place,was it a test for mankind?

Genesis 3:1  says, "Now, the serpent was craftier than any of the wild animals the Lord had made." Wasn't this serpent the one we know as Satan also created by God?   Yes, but he went rogue and is a liar and a tempter.

Was the Earth and mankind's creation on Earth just a test case?  Did God achieve a much better outcome in creating sentient beings somewhere else in the universe? He would of course have learned from man's bad behavior on earth what qualities to avoid on his other worlds.  

The misery of man's fall from grace on Earth was not the end of the story.  We are still made in his image after all. So like the best of parents God never abandoned us and even sacrificed his son to reconcile us to himself.  

Was Jesus' intervention also needed on God's other more successful worlds? Of course, Jesus is always needed wherever and whatever the situation may be but I wonder? Did he have to suffer and die out there among the stars as he did on our rebellious Earth?  

    

Therefore one could conclude that the Earth with its resident evil may well be quarantined from the rest of the universe.   So far our planet appears to be. There's been no conclusive proof of alien contact from other worlds. As far as one can tell the only out of this world contact we have ever had was Jesus Christ himself two thousand years ago and from angels from time to time.
