It’s official: Answers in Genesis does not believe in aliens.

“Answers”, the AiG magazine makes for consistently hilarious reading. I always love it when one of the articles pops up in Google Reader, because it means that one of their staff has taken a topic at random and tried to justify it with the Bible.

The "Answers" team choose the next fascinating blog topic

Today (well, December 2007. Google is a little behind the times), Ken Ham goes to great lengths to show that aliens do not exist, because Jesus is not an alien.

That’s right folks, “Jesus didn’t become a “God-Klingon,” a “God-Vulcan,” or a “God-Cardassian”—He became the God-man.”

Also, the aliens would have died after the Fall, because God only saved humans. To this I say:

Monkey. Clearly alive and well, post-Fall.

Finally, because god created the Earth first, then the stars, he clearly didn’t create other lifeforms.

QED.

What I liked the most were Ken’s references to Star Trek. The image of him, settling in for a night of blasphemous science fiction is one that will haunt me for a long, long time.
