Christian theologians insist the bible is correct and that life ONLY exists upon the earth.
Bear in mind that they once insisted that the universe revolved around the earth and that a rainbow was a sign of god's promise there would never again be a great flood - and had to wriggle uncomfortably after science explained otherwise.
I wonder what "get outs" they will dream up when life is found elsewhere.

Seems easy. The Bible, back then, insisted that life only existed on Earth. That does not preclude creation of life elsewhere since, no?

Only if it suddenly happened in the past 3,200 years. (That is when the first testaments were written'
"After god had created the earth and all the creatures upon it he decided to seed parts of his universe with simple life forms.
These he called 'evangelists'."
@Petter Even still, can't they believe that God created advanced life without the need for evolution on other planets since then?
@ChestRockfield Are Evangelists "Advanced"? I would call them "simple".
@Petter
What he seeded when creating Earth isn't what I was referring to.
The bible has been interpreted to suit the needs and wants of many different opportunist, hence the many different sects of the Christian Religion. Each of them claim to have the right interpretation of the bible.

Engage the tricks of double-think, of lying and denying, and of playing pigeon chess.
