I believe the mankind was created in the literal image of God, which implies that he looks like us and we look like him. This concept does not limit his power or influence in any way.

I believe that God is the creator, and has dominion over, the entire universe. I believe that the great magnitude of the universe is an expression of the power of God.

I believe the he has populated other worlds besides our own with people like us, in his image. The possibility of life on Mars does not diminish my faith, it strengthens it, because I believe that God is the "evolver" in evolution.

I believe that there is order in the universe. The fact that we can use mathematics to define the universe is proof of this, and for me, order is proof of the existence of a Supreme Being.

I feel no threat whatsoever from the idea of making contact with other intelligent people in other worlds. On the other hand I believe that God has made contact with us and that his contact is much more relevant to our lives than an "outside" contact would be.

I believe that God's contact is done through revelation, both ancient and modern, and both personal and organizational. I believe that God has provided us the freedom to make choices, but that we will be held accountable, and rewarded, for our choices, based on our knowledge of the contact that God has made with us.

I am a member of an organized religion, but it is not my intention here to push that organization on you. However, if you are interested in more details you can email me.
