1. Does God have Ownership of the Created Universe and Other Universes?

In the scriptures there are references to more than the created universe that we all are familiar with from science.  There are actual many more that it will be our pleasure, joy, and responsibilities with roles in Eternity in the Kingdom of God to be in them.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
(Note that "heavens" is plural!)

The following are also scriptural references in the Judgment Seat of Christ and the Great White Thrown of Judgment topic.

All things were created through Him, Jesus Christ, and Salvation is through Jesus Christ only.  Jesus Christ is God with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.  All seen and unseen only exists because of God.   Throughout all history, as explained in the Dispensation's topic, Jesus Christ was and is the only way for Salvation.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
(Note that "heavens" is plural!)
Isaiah 45:5-8 5 I am the Lord, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not acknowledged me, 6 so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know there is none besides me. I am the Lord, and there is no other. 7 I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster; I, the Lord, do all these things. 8 You heavens above, rain down my righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, the Lord, have created it.
Colossians 1:16-17 16 For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for Him: 17 And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist.
Romans 1:18-23 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hinder the truth in unrighteousness; 19 because that which is known of God is manifest in them; for God manifested it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse: 21 because that, knowing God, they glorified him not as God, neither gave thanks; but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.

The question not realized is how can God have the authority to judge all human-beings, Fallen Angels and Demons?  There are two starting essential answers of many begin with God's Creation and continue with the Two Judgments.

  1. Absolutely all independence of life in human-beings, Fallen Angels and Demons is only possible because of what God provides on a moment by moment basis.  While human-beings, Fallen Angels and Demons are eternal beings, that have a beginning in the environment, the environment is part of the Kingdom of God.  The environment is provided by God and no other as there is no other God.  The actions by anyone doing
        a) wrong in God's environment is a sin against God, and
        b) good in God's environment is a pleasure for God.
     
  2. Every human-being, Fallen Angel and Demon is linked with God's awareness of their thoughts and feelings.  All things were created by God for God's Glory, Pleasure, and a relationship with us, that are His, based on perfect love where:
        a) the mistreatment, cruelty, murder and smallest of sins done
        b) all acts of kindness, charity, love for one another done
    is known and felt by God through God's awareness.  There is nothing done that God doesn't know and feel which makes the
        a) punitive Judgments
        b) rewards Judgments
    by God possible because
        a) sin is also a personal sin against God,
        b) love is a personal act for God's pleasure and Glory
    which enables the fairness of God as He knows the thoughts of both:
        a) the perpetrator and the victim, and
        b) the loving giver and joyful recipient.

The perpetrators of sins often do NOT know that they also become the victim with up to seven times the consequences on Earth which is limited by God's Grace and Mercy, as read in many scriptures such as Proverbs 1:24-29, Proverbs 6:26-32, Galatians 6:7, and others.  Those that are doing good because of their love for God and one another, through their Salvation, will have wonderful, joyful, and sustained eternal benefits.

Matthew 12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
Matthew 25:40 The King will reply, Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.
Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

2. Astronomy Gives Faith in the God of Bible

In the scriptures, God gave us enough information to have faith and to reveal there has to be a Creator.  Without even the scriptures, the unbelieving world has no excuses or alibi when appearing before Jesus Christ at the Great White Throne of Judgment because of the evidence seen everywhere that includes the Universe.  Many Biblical Scholars point to the message in the Stars that is called the Mazzaroth.

Excerpts from the Big Bang Topic:

The stars, star systems, constellations and the entire universe are a witness to having a creation.  There are many highly respected astrophysicists and cosmologist who embrace the idea the entire universe is the result of the Big Bang that came out of an entity called Singularity. 

There are a few theories:

  1. On how Singularity came into existence but there are absolutely no working theories that make any sense. 
  2. On what caused Singularity to erupt or explode, but they also do not make any sense either.  

From the Christian Perspective, the answer is God.  God is a non-contingent being that created the contingent universe.  In Philosophical Proofs, there is the discussion that no matter how far back in time that can be examined, there has to come a point when there was a Being/Entity that was not caused by something else to start everything.  

There are two important points that are being ignored in all the debates on the "point in time" that was containing the theoretical entity called Singularity: 

  • In order for there to be Singularity, implies there is a Dimension that contained the Singularity before the expansion.
  • The Dimension, that contained the Singularity, is where the catalyst would be for creating the Singularity and also making it expand.

which means that no matter how correct mathematically the theory on the equations that try to explain a Big Bang, they are incorrect because the source and catalyst are not explainable (along with many other areas).  These two previous points is not to imply that is where God exists, or Singularity is how God started Creation.  We know from the Book of Genesis that the Universe was created after the Earth was already present as read in Genesis 1:14-17.

No matter what is theorized by truly well meaning, pontificating atheistic or agnostic scientists, who albeit use fascinating mathematical models to explain the Big Bang and Singularity, the Christian can simply use the following summary of the unrealistic and improvable theory of the Singularity Start of the Universe:

First there was nothing then nothing exploded.

If this sounds funny, it is partially meant to be but also highly accurate on paraphrasing what the "Singularity Start of the Universe" is trying to assert.  As of 2018, there is no new theories of:

Where out of nothing, Singularity became something so that is could explode.

Many non-believing scientists (NBS) are starting to get angry, on many YouTube videos, with Christians making statements like "when first there was nothing and the nothing exploded" because ...

Biblical Scholars point out that there is a great deal of evidence of the naming of the Stars and Constellations, revealed in the studies of the Mazzaroth, that the names gave the message of God and the future Messiah even before there was the written Word of God.

The following are a few scriptures of many dealing with the Universe, the Heavens, the Earth and the future Heavens and Earth.

  Features Reference  
1 Heavens (plural) Genesis 1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
2 It can be torn Isaiah 64:1 If only you would tear open the heavens and come down, so that the mountains would quake at your presence
3 It was stretched Isaiah 40:22 It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;
4 New Heavens and new Earth Isaiah 65:17 For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind.
5 Hang on nothing Job 26:7 He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing.
6 Earth given to man Psalm 115:16 The heavens are the Lord s heavens, but the earth he has given to the children of man.
7 Names all the Stars Psalm 147:4 He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them.
8 Cannot contain God 2 Chronicles 6:18 But will God indeed dwell with man on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you, how much less this house that I have built!
9 New Heavens and new Earth Revelation 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

A favorite quote from Paul Davies:

Scientists are slowly waking up to an inconvenient truth - the universe looks suspiciously like a fix. The issue concerns the very laws of nature themselves. For 40 years, physicists and cosmologists have been quietly collecting examples of all too convenient "coincidences" and special features in the underlying laws of the universe that seem to be necessary in order for life, and hence conscious beings, to exist. Change any one of them and the consequences would be lethal. Fred Hoyle, the distinguished cosmologist, once said it was as if "a super-intellect has monkeyed with physics".

To see the problem, imagine playing God with the cosmos. Before you is a designer machine that lets you tinker with the basics of physics. Twiddle this knob and you make all electrons a bit lighter, twiddle that one and you make gravity a bit stronger, and so on. It happens that you need to set thirty something knobs to fully describe the world about us. The crucial point is that some of those metaphorical knobs must be tuned very precisely, or the universe would be sterile.

Example: neutrons are just a tad heavier than protons. If it were the other way around, atoms couldn't exist, because all the protons in the universe would have decayed into neutrons shortly after the big bang. No protons, then no atomic nucleuses and no atoms. No atoms, no chemistry, no life. Like Baby Bear's porridge in the story of Goldilocks, the universe seems to be just right for life.

3. Outer Space is the Universe and there are Other Universes

The universe was created after the Earth in the days of Creation, but there was already the primary Heaven and other Heavens.  It was there for giving light and also for signs of who God the Creator is and with His Power.

The Earth was already in existence in Genesis 1:1 and God came in Genesis 1:2 to remake and reform the Earth, which is often called the Gap Theory.  After God began the reforming of the Earth, then God created the Universe that contained the Earth.  Additionally, the Earth was formerly part of the Kingdom of Heaven according to many Biblical Scholars.

Genesis 1:14-18 14 Then God said, Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth ; and it was so. 16 God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. 17 God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, 18 and to govern the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good.
Psalm 33:6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.
Psalm 136:7-9 To Him who made the great lights, For His loving-kindness is everlasting: The sun to rule by day, For His loving-kindness is everlasting, The moon and stars to rule by night, For His loving-kindness is everlasting.
Isaiah 40:26 Lift up your eyes on high And see who has created these stars, The One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power, Not one of them is missing.
Job 9:7-9 Who commands the sun not to shine, And sets a seal upon the stars; Who alone stretches out the heavens And tramples down the waves of the sea; Who makes the Bear, Orion and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;
Job 38:31-33 "Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades, Or loose the cords of Orion? "Can you lead forth a constellation in its season, And guide the Bear with her satellites? "Do you know the ordinances of the heavens, Or fix their rule over the earth?
Psalm 147:4-5 He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them. Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite.

6. Age of the Earth and Distance and Travelling to Alpha Centauri

The following are excerpts from the Age of the Earth topic:

The Earth was created in Genesis 1:1 and then God did a second recreation in Genesis 1:2.  There is a gap between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 that is not explained in the Book of Genesis Chapter 1 on why there was a recreation.  Biblical Scholars have the theory called the Gap Theory, that has other scriptural references, to support the theory that the recreation is linked with the rebellion of Lucifer.  God, in Genesis 1:1, did not create the Earth formless and void which then required the recreation of Genesis 1:2. 

During the time period of Genesis 1:1, there are scriptures that state the Earth was part of the Kingdom of Heaven, detailed in Gap Theory topic, where the Earth was perfect.  When Genesis 1:2 occurs, Earth was no longer perfect with a deep abode of woe on the waters that covered the entire earth where the Earth was separted from the Kingdom of Heaven.  As part of the Gap Theory the Earth could have laid in a dormant and stagnate state for a vast amount of years that from our perspective might have been millions or billions of years based on the time-domain the Earth was located in.

Many Christians, who have not read carefully the first few verses of Genesis Chapter 1, will have missed the point made that God did a re-creation on the Earth which was already there.  This is an important point which is called and explained in the Gap Theory Topic.  This means the Earth would most likely have signs of very old age, and then a more recent age in all other areas.

At the point in history, when God went through the Creation Process on Earth, to the present day, then that is when history began regarding the Earth.  As an analogy, if someone purchased a classic old car, dating back over 40 years, and did a complete restoration, then the car would be considered new after the completion of the restoration.  Because the Earth did exist before God did the restoration / creation process, it is possible with the rocks, that existed underneath the waters of Genesis 1:2, to actually be 4.54 billion years old.

Genesis 1:1-2
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
Genesis 1:9 And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

These are points obtained from Chuck Missler's excellent presentation on the Book of Genesis that can be obtained from khouse.org and it is highly recommended. Note that this list will be continued as time permits.

  • The Earth's magnetic field half-life has an estimate of 1,400 years which according to measurement indicate the Earth to be less than 10,000 years.  Remember that God moved on the Earth in Genesis chapter 1 and re-formed it.  If you take the side that God did create everything but disagree with the age calculations, then there is room for discussion.
  • The moon dust is an indicator also that the moon is not as old as believed.  Ultraviolet light and X-Rays destroy surface layers of rock that are on the moon.  Additionally, the moon collects dust from its gravitational pull.  The rate of dust that can collect in a year on the moon has many estimates that are about a millimeter.  If the age of the Earth and Moon are in the billions of years, then than the dust on the moon should be very deep and possibly even miles deep but it is not.  This was a major concern of the Apollo Moon landings where they found out it was very little.

    Note: (a) Three crews of Apollo spacecraft missions left "Retroreflectors on the Moon" - Laser Range Experiment.
    (b) There are imaging of the surface of the moon today, done by orbiters that have images of the tracks from the Apollo Rovers.
    (c) There were seven total mission where one wasn't successful.
     
  • The Earth's oceans would have greater percentages of bicarbonate materials, copper, gold, magnesium, molybdenum, nickel, potassium, silicon, sodium, and uranium if the oceans were as old as billions of years.  As known, nitrates and uranium do not break down over time or recycle like salt does.  This tells us that the oceans are not that old.
  • The Poynting-Robertson Effect, called the Solar Janitor, states that photons slow down the movement of objects in spaces.  This force causes objects like micrometeoroids, to spiral in towards the center of the gravitational pull of the Sun.  The calculations indicate a rate of 100K tons per day are taken by the Sun where there is no known replacement or replenishment of the source objects.  The abundance of micrometeoroids indicates a younger universe.
  • Radiohalos, Primordial Polonium 218 which has a half-life of 3 minutes, have been found in mica and fluorite.  This points to evidence of an instantaneous crystallization of the granite containing it when it was formed.  This points to a simultaneous and instant creation.
  • There is an area that requires some explanation to the reader that points to the Speed of Light has been slowing down since the beginning of the created universe.  The speed of light is reflected as "c" in  E=mc^2 and many other equations that are used in sciences such as physics.  This points to a creation.   (Part of the research on data, regarding speed of light, is the theory that light moving through water vapor to create a rainbow in the sky was only possible after the Great Flood because the speed of light changed after the Great Flood.)

The Earth is Not Flat

It is amazing that there is so much conjecture on the Earth not being round that is being presented in recent years as of the year 2024, which requires a brief comment.  If the Earth was flat and being hidden from the public, it would take millions of people involved in the deliberate deception.  Airline pilots, ship captains, satellite positioning managers, scientists, and so many more areas would have to be involved in a world-wide conspiracy.  For a great introduction of facts see this topic link form Science.org.

Graphic humor: "Well, this is awkward"

 

The following is an excerpt from the UFO topic:

Every Biblical Scholar Commentary that this author has read do not believe in Extraterrestrial Life Forms (Aliens) from Outer Space.  This author also does not believe that UFOs are Aliens from outer space coming to the Earth for many reasons: 

  1. The vast distance makes it impossible even if traveling fractions of the speed of light were possible to get to the closest stars that potentially have planets, which might host some alien civilizations.  The well-known equation of E=mc^2 informs that the faster an objects travels then the mass of the object increases.  As the object gets closer to the speed of light the object's mass reaches a size of infinity.   Think about any space craft moving through space at any speed that is fractions of the speed of light, would increase in size and would consume more energy sources than it could carry.  We cannot conceive reaching anywhere outside of our solar system without multiples of generations of humans spending their entire life spans in space to get to other parts of near-by solar systems where the space craft would also have to be of a size to keep food provisions, medical departments, water, room for agriculture with livestock, overcoming space travel problems, and so much more.  Rockets propulsions systems will have to be perfect without any mechanical failures as there is no repair stations along the way.
  2. Considering three hypothetical spacecraft, that maintain a constant speed with adequate fuel, how long would it take to get to the triple star system Alpha Centauri, which is 4.3 light-years (25.6 trillion miles) away?  (Note that many sources of calculations assume a spacecraft would be accelerating in speed over time, and not a constant speed as shown below.  The problem is size/mass of the space craft would increase by laws of  E=mc^2 .)
    (a) New Horizons, with a maximum speed of
    36,373 mph .
    (b) As of 2020, the fastest announced rocket speed will be
    430,000 mph.
    (c) If it were even possible, which it is not, to build something that goes at 10% the speed of light the time span of travel is still daunting.  10% of the speed of light is 67,061,662 mph where the spacecraft would have become subject to size increases based on
    E=mc^2 that could not allow stability, enough fuel and multiple mechanical propulsion failures. 

    (d) Assuming we overcome
    space travel problems for humans, energy, food, E=mc^2 problems and so many unknowns the following table shows the distance and time problems when traveling to the closest possible Star with planets were so many other Stars are a great deal further:  
      Description Value Calculation
    A Speed of Light in miles per second in space 186,282.40  
    B Distance Light can travel in one hour (miles) 670,616,629.20 (A * 60) * 60
    C Distance Light can travel in one day (miles) 16,094,799,100.80 B * 24
    D Distance Light can travel in one year (miles) 5,862,530,572,466.40 C * 364.25
    E Distance to Alpha Centauri in miles (approx.) 25,600,000,000,000.00  
    F Distance Spacecraft can travel at 10% of Light Speed in a year 586,253,057,246.64 D * .1
    G Distance Spacecraft can travel at 430,000 MPH in a year 3,769,276,800 430,000 * 24 * 364.25
    H Distance Spacecraft can travel at 36,373 MPH in a year 318,836,988 37,373 * 24 * 364.25
    I Alpha Centauri from Earth at 10% Light Speed will take 43.7 years E / F
    J Alpha Centauri from Earth at 430,000 mph will take  6,791.8 years  E / G
    K Alpha Centauri from Earth at 36,373 mph will take  80,291.8 years  E / H


    The estimated travel times, from the calculation matrix above, to get to Alpha Centauri shows the reality that it is not possible:
        (d.1) 44 Years at 10% of light speed.  As explained above 10% is not obtainable because of laws dealing with E=mc^2
        (d.2) 6,792 Years at 430,000 mph
        (d.3) 80,292 Years at 36,373 mph
     
    Note:  Additionally as already mentioned in this topic, with the required time in years to travel consider the fuel requirements that are beyond the ability for any spacecraft to store!  Unbeknownst to many people, rocket fuel sources also lose their potency capabilities.  Furthermore, the belief of using solar energy is not tenable either as the distance from adjacent stars, with the absorption of solar energy, is not close enough for use with supplying all the requirements of a spacecraft. 

    With both considerations, this is why science fiction writers have proposed humans being put into a frozen hibernated state and the space craft going into a targeted direction without any propulsion and relying on the initial motion.  Hibernation, sustained direction, and a target arrival over thousands to millions of years to reach earth-like planets without losing fuel source and biological deterioration is beyond the focus of this topic, but is brought up in considering any beliefs of the reverse happening from a remote alien civilization and Earth having these visitors that employed this technique of hibernation with zillions and zillions of miles of travel.

    (e) Even if it becomes possible to harness zero-point energy, there are still all the problems mentioned above, and many more that have not been discovered.  Plus there is no habitable planets at Alpha Centauri.
    (f) An Earth-Size Planet was found in the 'Habitable Zone' on another Star System , but there are many factors such as the unknown quantity of water, breathable atmosphere, temperature, etc. along with the distance of 582 light-years to even get to Kepler-186f!  Yes, there have been other planets in other star systems discovered, which are in the habitable-zone based on distance from star to planet, but there are still hundreds of other factors to make it habitable for human beings.
     

  3. If there are Alien creatures with technology capable of traveling distances that takes hundreds to many thousands of light years to get to the earth then:
    (a)  They would not be concern about being seen , or
    (b) Have the ability not to be seen, or
    (c) Worrying about anyone from the Earth fighting against them
    because their technology would be vastly superior to ours that would seem like magic.  
  4. The technology that an alien civilization would possess, to enable traveling to Earth, would mean:
    (a) There would be very little to gain with contact other than taking resources from the earth, or
    (b) Possibly see the earth's creatures as a zoo for their enjoyment, or
    (c) A food source, or
    (d) A peaceful scientific study with a possibly of a Star Trek fictional type of Prime Directive.
  5. According to Fermi Paradox, if there are Aliens in the Universe then we should have already encountered them, which means:
    (a) We are most likely the most advanced technological life form, or
    (b) There are no other Alien Civilizations in the Universe. 
    Conclusion of the reasoning on Fermi Paradox:
    (a) Taking the age of the proposed Universe, at some 13.8 billion years , which is spurious along with not believed by this author , but allow this for discussing the Fermi Paradox
    (b) An Alien civilization should have already obtained technology to get between star systems,
    (c) Then this Alien civilization should be able to set up an empire that stretches throughout the universe in 10 million years. 
    (d) Ten million years as a percentage of the proposed age of the Universe is a very short-time.  Therefore, if there are Aliens somewhere, then they should have already visited the Earth and most likely have subdued the Earth.
  6. From the Christian perspective, the question could be asked if there are Aliens in the universe, then are they sinless or sinful where did Jesus Christ also die for them on the Cross or how did the Aliens stay sinless in a wrecked universe that God intends on replacing as stated in Revelation?  Those that believe Aliens gave the earth life, still have the problem on how did the Aliens get created which always go back to there has to be a God because evolution is scientifically false.  Also remember God Exists outside of His Creations.
  7. Aliens would find human beings very fragile outside of the planet Earth and not easily able to handle space travel beyond the magnetic protection of the Earth as explained by NASA.
  8. A recent theory in the year 2020 states that UFOs are autonomous robot drone space machines sent from far away galaxies to explore the universe.  These drones are self-repairable, almost self-aware and self-reproducing. 
    (a) As sited from other parts of this topic, the scale of machinery of any legitimate wreckage found is one primary argument against this 2020 theory. 
    (b) The second primary argument against this 2020 theory, is the level of advanced engineering required for any spacecraft to travel the vast distances would not allow a legitimate spacecraft to so easily be detected, seen or crash. 
    (c) The third primary argument against this theory is there no geological, agricultural or habitation reason for the locations, that show very questionable videos of UFOs, to visit once or multiple times as seen on entertainment TV shows.
    (d) There apparently is legitimate UFO crashes or possibly mutual cooperation with governments from entities masquerading as Extraterrestrials that have advanced technology being obtained, but the questions with answers in many Christians opinions points back to the Nephilim.  All the points 1 through 7, in this author's opinion, are proof that anything legitimate or mutual cooperation has to be the start of Future Great Lie explained in the Nephilim topic.  As laboriously stated, if UFOs are from distance galaxies, then their technology would be far more advanced then anything we could possibly even absorb to reverse engineer for usage.
  9. A recent theory in the year 2019 states that UFOs are time travelers from earth's future.  This tries to explain the humanoid appearance, where evolution over thousands of years has changed mankind and also accounts for the materials of the time traveling craft being from earth.  This would require a dissertation of information to explain why GOING BACK IN TIME is impossible.  Going forward slightly into the future is remotely possibly based on many scientific equations that is most famously given as an example in the twin astronaut theory listed below.   The paramount point on being able to move to some point in the future is it is a one-way trip. 
  10. Steven Hawking made the comment: ' "One day, we might receive a signal from a planet like this," when referring to a planet Gliese 832c that might be potentially habitable.  "But we should be wary of answering back. Meeting an advanced civilization could be like Native Americans encountering Columbus. That didn't turn out so well." '   (This writer is not endorsing Steven Hawking's possible belief in aliens but posting his comment to open up the reader's mind on information on UFOs.)   Note that Gliese 832c is estimated to be 16 light years away.

In a June 17, 2019 research project, that lasted more than three years, the conclusion by several organizations was there is zero evidence of extraterrestrial life in over 1,300 stars that were in close proximity to the Earth.  The PDF document attached, is a fascinating read.
