Your comments, and comments from others in this thread, make it seem like you all only view possible extraterrestrial life as similar/same to humans and what we have on Earth.
They were mentioned again in Numbers. The Rephaim and Anakin. Goliath, King Og and others. In 1st Samuel God instructed King Saul to destroy ALL of the Amalekites. Men, women, children and livestock. We can never know for sure, but a theory is that these Amalekites were descended from the Nephilim, and therefore, not human. The book of Enoch details all of this and is an extra biblical text that was referenced in the Bible. Of course, Enoch was taken by God and was Noah's great grandfather. I'd say Enoch was a reliable witness.
That makes absolutely no sense. You don’t spend billions to “toy” with other expensive weapons. You can’t even sneeze in the navy without tons of planning and paperwork and that’s where these videos come from, the navy.
If they have experimental aircraft, they have to practice and test them. I remember sitting in a history class in high school back in 1883. Rumor got out that an invisible plane crashed. We joked about but it and did not believe it and a year later or so they introduced the Stealth Fighter. It makes sense. Our navy does it. Our own Submarines ghost our own ships for practice. Sometimes our ships figure it out and sometimes they don't. I was on a LPD and one morning we woke up and there was a US Destroyer, a US Frigate, a Sub hunting airplane flying over, two South Korean destroyers as escorts. I asked one of the sailors what was going on, and he said we were being tracked by a Submarine. We had a MPS ship with us and or LPD had 1800 marines on board. They did not know if it was ours or someone else. He said this happens all time. Turns out that time it was a North Korean Sub. They do it. I know they do it. Just because you are a F18 pilot doesn't mean you about top-secret aircraft.
This is what I think is going on. We test them against our own planes and let the videos get out for plausible deniability and to troll the Chinese....
1 in a million for each of those is probably wildly optimistic. And your conclusion is wring anyway. By your match there is between 1-4 stars with intelligent life in the Milky Way.
0.0000001 x 0.0000001 x 0.0000001 x 0.0000001 = 1 x 10^-24 Explain where I’m wrong except the being overly optimistic about the 1 in a million chance. I’m saying that the odds for intelligent life are slim.
10^24 (100 sextillion?) is the estimated number of stars with planets in the universe. You can find other estimates, but that’s what I went with. My point is that the probability numbers of intelligent life get really small really quick.

I believe in physics, science, mathematics, etc. However, with that being said, science is basically man's language to explain God's great creation and how it works.
So you don’t think there’s a chance that there’s intelligent life on another planet in a solar system around one of those septillion stars?
I don't recall anything in the bible saying we are God's only creation.
Gulf Breeze is also within seconds of flight time to Eglin AFB, Pensacola NAS, and the Gulf of Mexico. All great places to test super secret squirrel aircraft.
I don’t recall there being anything in the Bible that we weren’t. And, don’t you think that if he did it would be in Bible?
I saw the stealth bomber at an air show at JAN way back in the day. It was pretty freaking impressive. Even knowing it was coming & where it was coming from it was hard to see until it got almost overhead. And it was almost completely silent. Just a slight woosh sound as it passed right over us.
Don't know. Lots of stuff isn't in the bible. The bible never mentions that water consists of two Hydrogen molecules and one Oxygen, for example. The bible just tells us what's important.
I honestly don’t know, but conventional wisdom is that there has to be, but if you look at the probability of everything coming together perfectly, it’s is likely there is only one. I’m a believer in God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and hope I get the answer to that question when my time comes. But all faith aside, it’s remarkable that we are here chatting on a message board. The conditions just have to be so perfect that even with those big numbers of stars with planets that the chance is so small.
My best guess. It very well may be that intelligent life is unique to earth. If not it’s almost certainly astronomically small. Simple single celled life may very well be common. Simple life existed on earth for 4 billion years before the Cambrian Explosion just 540 million years ago when complex life just exploded & created every phylum of life we seem today in only 25 million years (a blink of an eye on cosmic time scales). We have zero clue how or why this explosion of complex life happened. The possibility it was God can’t be discounted.
There are all kinds of items and concepts that exist but are not referenced in the Bible.
