735. A History of the Two Theories of the Universe
In the Western World, two different theories of the universe began to develop after Abraham rejected idolatry. To Abraham, idolatry was the worship of physical objects, which God created from Himself and then no longer existed. So, the concept of 'idolatry' and the concept of the 'beginning and end of the universe' became a natural theory of the early religions and physicists.
To save God, Abraham said that God is One and created things. In the Old Testament, the Jews expanded Abraham thoughts by saying that God created the universe and then God rested. The concept of 'resting' has two different meaning. One meaning says that God retired. And the other meaning says that God went to other work after six days.
These two different meaning led to the two theories of God and the universe that I present on blog 733. Thus, if one says that God retired after creating the universe, the universe had a beginning and has an end. But, if one says that God went to other work, God and the universe is One, which is in agreement with Abraham.
In the Eastern World, especially in China, the theory of God and the universe agrees with the sayings of Abraham, which says that the universe has no beginning and no end. Thus I say that Judaism, Christianity, Islam , physicists, and atheists must reject the theory that the universe comes to an end. Kepler, Leibniz, Galileo, Confucius, Anaxagoras, Plato, and many modern thinkers say that the universe never ends
If today's humans do not reject the thoughts of Judaism, Christianity, Islam , physicists, atheists, free traders, and the U.S. Congress, tomorrows wars, crimes, and terrorists will continue to grow.

Some comparatively new belief systems and books portray God as an extraterrestrial, holding that intelligent beings from another world have been visiting Earth for many thousands of years, and have influenced the development of our religions. Some of these books suggest that prophets or messiahs have visited earth from other areas of the galaxy in order to teach morality and encourage the development of civilization. David B. Trout suggests that the life form responsible for producing life on earth had to be light years ahead in terms of their development since interstellar travel demanded a technology that we are just beginning to understand.
However, I believe that information regarding alien life is found in the Bible and records expeditions to our planet. In Matthew 16:15-17 Simon Peter responds to Jesus’ question regarding His identity by saying “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” and Jesus responds “…flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.” It is obvious that this understanding did not come through science but is a revealed knowledge that plays the missing component in man’s desire to understand his place in the universe. The difference between the earth’s religions and the Bible is the source of their information since all groups have fallible human leaders, while the Bible contains the very words of God Himself as revealed to us in II Timothy 3:16 which states, “all Scripture is given by inspiration of God.”
So while many on earth are afraid of extraterrestrial life believing it to be the evil beings seen in science fiction movies the Bible reveals that there is extraterrestrial intelligent life, in the form of a Spirit Being who “inhabits eternity” (Isaiah 57:15). The Bible further records in Genesis 3:9-10; 4:9; 16:9 the existence of many millions of angelic beings and in Hebrews 1:13-14 the existence of “ministering spirits.”
Eric Stetson postulates that the biblical God, while still the great ruler of Earth, is not a deity at all but instead represents an ultra-advanced extraterrestrial species that is intimately involved in the affairs of Earth. This idea may seem strange and radical at first, but suppose your best and most trustworthy friend revealed to you that he had once had an encounter with aliens that went something like this:
“I took a long hike in the countryside and when it started getting dark I was still a long way from the campsite so I decided to lie down and rest. I leaned my backpack against some stones for a pillow and soon fell asleep only to be roused in the middle of the night by incredible vision. I looked up and saw a beam of light stretched down from a hovering object to the ground, and strange-looking beings were going up and down what appeared to be a ladder and the leader of the aliens was standing at the top of it proclaiming that they wanted to ‘spread my seed far and wide.” Would you believe his story, laugh it off, reassure him that it was only a dream, or would you perhaps pull out a Bible and turn to the 28th chapter of Genesis, where the patriarch Jacob’s nearly identical experience is described?

Ni Jack,
My research on the universe says that life was on planet earth about 4.4 million years ago. Thus, I say that life exists on other planets and might know that life exists on planet earth.
My theory of God and the universe says that the universe has no end. So, I concludes that the people on planet earth need to develop their minds. Jesus taught this mental necessity at Matt. 5:19.
To allow people to develop unequal nations and unequal rich humans is wrong because rich humans will be reborn forever and will become more poor more often than becoming rich. To build rich/poor economies shows that the minds of rich people on planet earth is not developing.
The lives of people, who live forever, will become greater only if nations and humans become equal.
George
