It depends on how you define God. If by God you mean super-intelligent energy so pure it requires zero space but contains all the energy in the entire universe/s and then some. Then I'm happy to go along with that. If however, you mean some omnipotent superman of the western monotheist religions then I totally reject that as childish and fanciful.If we could prove multiverses exist that still won’t disprove god. I’ve been telling theists for years to stop trying to put god in a box. Of course this isn’t his only universe.Nice cop-out!I have no problem with God doing things he doesn't tell us He's doing.I was brought up a Roman Catholic and I know what we were taught about creation by priests.Where in Scripture does it state that?See? Move the goal post.Perhaps you could be so kind as to show where in Judaic/Christian Scripture the claim is made that there is no life elsewhere in the universe.Yes, congratulations US! Credit where it is due and we Brits did our bit by making the parachute. Perseverance landed near a dried-up lake and will drill down attempting to find signs of life past or present. Just think of the mind-blowing implications if traces of life are found. Judaism/Christianity finally debunked and that is just for starters.How many Mars missions have there been? Seems like the US and other nations have been there several times now. Why do they keep going there?
I think this one is going to explore below the surface of Mars for evidence of ancient life.
So what makes theists so sure that we are the only life? That has been their position for a millennia
God created man in his own image, All animals were created separately, They deny that both man and animals and all lower life forms are all part of the same progressive process culminating in Hominids who they don't acknowledge as human, in fact, they never mention them at all.
My best mate is a Muslim and he denies that life exists anywhere else in the universe because he knows Mohammed would have mentioned it in the Quran.
I also remember a Jahova's witness telling me that - "I don't want to believe I came from some bacterial sludge in a river bed!"
Michael Angelo's painting of God giving life to Adam in the Sistene Chapel is evidence of what the Roman Catholic Church has always believed, but just how many Adams was there, and did they all look like us?
