Wow! I can't believe the foolish dribble people will come up with just so they can explain away a Holy God...
Well, according to a video I just watched, the Israelite had an alien-created Manna Machine called, "The Ancient of Days" provide food for them while they wandered in the desert for 40 years. It seems that it was powered by a nuclear device that was carried in the Ark of the Covenant (which is why people died when they touched it). Question: why didn't these ever-so-helpful aliens give them directions to their vacation destination since it was only 10 days journey away? HOW FOOLISH SCIENTISTS MUST THINK PEOPLE ARE!!! It is 10 times harder to believe their rot than to just accept that God is God. I am astounded!
Just think...
When God created us He knew what was going to be required of Him to save us from sin, yet, His love was that great, that He made us regardless of the cost. Have you counted the cost of loving Him? Have you decided that it is too much? Have you considered the cost of NOT loving Him? "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 6:22-23. Sin: a violation of the known will of God. Penalty: eternal separation from the One that loves us more than any other, and the Only One worthy of our love.

When Does Human Life Begin?
These are FACTS. Do not bother me with arguments. Nothing changes FACT.
If life was discovered on another planet there are criteria we would refer to conclusively determine if the claim was accurate. How do scientists identify life?
A scientific textbook called “Basics of Biology” gives five characteristics of living things; these five criteria are found in all modern elementary scientific textbooks:
All living things... are highly organized, have an ability to acquire materials and energy, have an ability to respond to their environment, have an ability to reproduce, and have an ability to adapt.
According to this life begins at fertilization, when a sperm unites with an egg. At this point all five things above are true. Non-living things do not do these things. Even before the mother is aware that she is pregnant, a distinct, unique life has begun his or her existence inside her.
That life is human. A human being is a member of the species homo sapiens. Human beings are products of conception, which is when a human male sperm unites with a human female egg.

"By all the criteria of modern molecular biology, life is present from the moment of conception." Dr. Hymie Gordon, Chairman, Department of Genetics at the Mayo Clinic
“I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody if asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly, I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy.” Hippocrates, 400 B.C., Greece (Originator of The Hippocratic Oath)
"To accept the fact that after fertilization has taken place a new human has come into being is no longer a matter of taste or opinion ... it is plain experimental evidence." The "Father of Modern Genetics" Dr. Jerome Lejeune, Univ. of Descarte, Paris

What does it take?
What does it take to make it into God's Heaven? Let's look at the facts according to The Holy Bible...
God is. He is all powerful, all present, and all knowing.
Man is in a fallen state of sin.
There is good and evil.
History records all that God has done.
God Himself has sent a redeemer as predicted in Isaiah of the Old Testament in The Holy Bible.
The price paid for sin must be death; that is the price that God paid for us with the life of His only begotten Son.
There is much more, but this is the basics. Satan knows and that is not enough, so just to know it is not enough for us either. There must be more to it.
How can we know that we have a place reserved for us in God's Heaven?
Here is one way...
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23)
"For the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23a)
"...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23b)
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)
Further...
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." (Revelations 3:20a)
Even if you don't believe in God, if you take the step to look to the heavens and ask that anyone there would show themselves to you in a way that you can understand, God will honor that prayer and show you Who He is.
