Science, Religion and Contact

This discussion is over. Thanks everyone. Please visit the Final Entries Page.

Can you prove the existence of God? What do you think about faith?
Does God play an active or passive role in the workings of the universe?
Do you believe that there is intelligent life on other planets? Did God create them? What do you think that they would be like?
If we indeed ever make contact with another life form, who should we send to greet them? What type of person would you have to represent humanity?

Here are some hightlights of statements that have been made so far
This is just a brief list, there is much more on what others have said.

Just think of beings that may be a billion years more advanced than humans. Would we look at them as gods? Would they look at us as worms? Do we really want to find out?
I believe that the proof of the existence of God is found in science, not denied by it.
I've been waiting for this, the first movie entirely devoted to Christian bashing!
Religion has tried to stop the advancement of science since the beginning of time.
During the alien sequence the alien picked up a handful of sand, which is symbolic of worlds without end. What about intelligent life on other planets? Think about the implications. Who created them? Do they have a Savior?
Does God exist? Who really cares? Do aliens exist? Again who cares? The mystery is what really excites us.
I have always wondered why scientists and scholars are considered to be the experts in religion. Does schooling or a diploma give one the authority to be called of god or to know of the mysteries of god?
As fiction goes this movie was more believable to me than another widely believed tale, one that can be found in a book called, "The Bible".
If there was nothing out there, it would indeed be "an awful waste of space". And watching over all of this,...is our Creator
Science is dynamic, continually moving closer and closer to a more accurate representation of the workings of the universe. Since faith is believing without reason or proof, there is NO PLACE FOR FAITH IN SCIENCE. There is also NO PLACE FOR FAITH IN THE ULTIMATE SEARCH FOR "TRUTH".
