I stumbled upon this article on the internet talking about what Christians should believe about life in the universe. It really doesn't say what they should belive, but it does give some good topics to consider about what needs to happen for life to exist. One being the distance from its star. It has to be just far enough to not burn and close enough to not freeze. Another being the fact that life can not form spontaneously. The article goes to saying if life really was out there, it would be impractible for extraterestrials to reach Earth. "The apollo missions took 3 days to get to the moon. At the same rate, one would need 870,000 years to get to the nearest star"(Gitt). It really gets you thinking about how rare life really is.
I think this article has a good viewpoint on the realities of life in the Universe. While we are still searching deep in space, you have to consider and ask yourself, "How is it possible that Earth is the only life supporting planet in our solar system"? This one article could have an impact on what I have learned about this topic.
