If people looked at knee jerk reports like this with the skeptism they do the Bible, they'd have these scientists run out of town on a rail.
Galileo ... "Tell me about it ..."

Wouldn't it be funny if we met an alien race more advanced than our own and they ask us why we dont recognise the creator like they do.
HAHAHA! That would be hilarious. And maybe they didn't fall and Jesus didn't have to die for them like he did for us? Can you just imagine. We'd have egg on our faces!
C.S. Lewis made a trilogy about this concept. Perelandra is the world where the fall hasn't happened yet.
The silent planet is an interesting concept. The premise is that the worlds that God has made are guarded by angels and the planets are loud with praise except for the silent planet, guarded not by God's angel but by Satan. Interesting books

They are by far my most favourite sci-fi trilogy, i have read them at least half a dozen times and i think i could read them again without being bored.

In a lot of ways I think his sci-fi trilogy is "better" than his Narnia series. He had a lot of fiction that goes almost ignored compared to Narnia. 'Til We Have Faces, also excellent and I believe what he considered to be his best work.
But the first two books in particular, simply excellent with some very intriguing ideas.

My brother just talked about these books today in bible study... Ah sometimes I think this is how God speaks to people. It has happened to my mother so many times: she reads and studies a verse and BOOM, the verse is expanded upon in some radio talk, bible study, or sermon within a few days.
Does anyone else feel the same way?

Absolutely. Sometimes it will happen just when I'm reading something spiritual, and not necessarily related to whatever issue I might be having .It's like someone actually whispers it into your ear. You can't even recall how the idea started -- maybe because it's not originally from us

Not exactly what I was talking about. Mine is more of an external phenonmenon but I see where you are coming from. Externally sourced ideas in our head, I think that may also be one but I am always afraid that it is just me.
