RE: [asa] Ken Hams it up at the Pentagon

Ug,

From the link, Ken Ham stated: 'I like to remind people of Psalm 115:16,
"The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S; But the earth He has given to
the children of men." Scripture certainly makes earth the center stage.'

Center stage for whom? Interesting that the scripture connects Earth with
mankind, as opposed to all creation. This point seems ignored in his
statement.

There are many exoplanets out there. Admittedly, the latest astronomical
evidence indicates that not every star will have one or more planets. Yet,
it is clear that some stars have four or more large planet -- this is based
on our crude ability to see exoplanets (now past the 300 count mark).
Perhaps the number of planets will only equal the number of stars.

There are quite a number of stars out there. If someone were to actually
count them at a rate of 5 per second for 24 hours a day, then there is a
chance it would only take 150 trillion years to enumerate the 25 thousand
million million stars within the observable range of the HST.

Any assumption that suggests that our Creator planned to exclude life,
including sentient life, from a realm many billions of light years in
diameter seems ludicrous and arrogant. Were there not 4 distinctly
different creatures about the throne as per Rev.4:7? Could these not be
from other planets?

see the link here:

the article continues into Ken's view of extraterrestrial life. I couldn't
help notice the parallels to Gordon Glover's recent post on his blog here:
