Ken Ham, the creationist who runs the Answers in Genesis website, wrote recently that searching for life in space is a waste of time, as anything that lives there is destined for hell, anyway.

He also expressed that those who are searching for extraterrestrials are doing so as a, “rebellion against God in a desperate attempt to supposedly prove evolution.”

While Pope Francis said a while back that if Martians showed up he’d baptize them, should they desire to become Catholics, Ham does not feel that such an option is available.

According to him, although any life forms that may or may not be out there would carry the impact of Adam’s sin, they cannot be redeemed.

That perk is for Earthlings only, as salvation is limited to Adam’s descendants.

He explained, “Jesus did not become the ‘GodKlingon’ or the ‘GodMartian’!…God’s Son remains the ‘Godman’ as our Savior.”


Ham also expressed that NASA is generally pointless and waste of money and effort.
