How would I know? We don't even know if space aliens can speak Earthling languages or even can talk at all, or have the ability to comprehend this whole god thing because I know I don't. :roll:

That's about the size of it.

We dont know if sentient aliens even exist. And if they did , and if they got here, what they would think of our concept (or concepts) of this "god" person, or whether or not they have dieties of their own, is something that...Gawd only knows!

We don't even know what they would think of shoe laces, much less of what they would make of an abstraction like "God".

It would be really interesting to watch how certain people react to the alien's information about what they have seen of the universe. Betcha many of them would refuse to believe what the aliens say.

What do you think?



they would say " What is a god?"
