Now, one could use many arguments from science to support my position. For life on earth to exist, for example, we must have the right distance from the sun, be in the right orbit, tilted at the right degree, have enough carbon, and so on. Even the evolution of life was so hit and miss that to quote William Lane Craig again, “If evolution did happen, it was a miracle.” But I actually have theological arguments that I prefer.

My primary reason for rejecting even the thought that life exists out there somewhere is the doctrine of the incarnation. If we were not somewhat unique or special, I’m not sure why the second person of the trinity would choose to put on our limited broken flesh for Himself and die for our sins. Now if Jesus had just taken on the human nature while he was on earth then fine, I’d see it compatible with a pro-alien view. But He didn’t do that, He rose from the third day in the same flesh and bone body that He died in and took it to heaven with him. He has chosen to keep that human nature forever.

Once again, is this a valid thought? What feedback do you have?
