What if a cosmic being of infinite wisdom appeared and stated that he would take you on a journey through time and space and would show you every secret to the universe?..secrets such as why are we here, is there a God and who/what is he/her, what is our purpose here, are there other life forms out there, what is beyond the universe, and are we here through evolution or devine intervention? But......this being also told you that once you have learned all of these secrets you would have to die since it would be too dangerous for you to share this knowledge with the world..would you take the deal? |

There is a verse in the bible that talks about this very thing; Paul wrote this to the Corinthians. 2 Corinthians 12:2-4 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. 3 And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— 4 was caught up to paradise. He heard inexpressible things, things that man is not permitted to tell. You seem to be searching but in a futile direction, maybe God is tugging at you, just a thought. |

Hypothetically, a powerful, more intelligent being from another planet could reveal itself to us and tell us that there is no God. Yet, that would not mean that there is no God, but simply that this being thinks that there isn't, even if God does exist. |
