That depends on who has more zealots and bigger fusion weapons...

I'd say it is fair assumption, that if God creates intelligent beings on another planet, notably with free will, because he doesn't want worshipping robots, that sooner or later they will use that free will to produce their version of the original sin.

Why would a race of nothing but christians develop space travel in the first place? Its just a firmament with heaven right above. And the big guy don't like people pokin about.

I've always found this abit strange, what if we were to encounter an ETI civilization (and they understood what we were saying) and we told them about the christian god. What if they took it literally? As if we were threatened by a mad powerful being that tried to drown us all at one point.
:boohoo:

They'd either take pity on us or kill us all before we lead that psychopath to them.

If my memory serves me right, there was a TV-series a while back called Space: Above and Beyond, where the was a war between Humans and Evil Aliens. Anyway, it turned out that the aliens had no concept of an afterlife until they discovered humans, and when they heard that the humans believed they would live forever the aliens paniced and thought the entire human army was made out of reanimated zombies!
That would be quite an interesting reaction, don't you think?

Society would not tolerate legislation declaring that the theory that the sun circles the earth be given equal time with the theory of a heliocentric solar system; it should not pay attention to the equally preposterous notions of "scientific creationism"
~ Robert Ornstein

Men from space don't have a chance because God so loved the world, Earth. Those aleins would go directly to hell. No man can come to the father except through Jesus. Jesus died for earthings so we would need to go to war with unholy spacemen.

For one of my Creative Writing classes I wrote a short story entitled "Jesus was a Space-man". In it I explained, through the use of "Alien-abduction", how Jesus went missing for 17 odd years from the Bible. I illustrated why he appeared to be ascending into heaven. How the message the Aliens had intended for us became skewwed, and violent. Etc....

I never even once gave thought to the trinity, but in retrospect, I would suppose that any Alien society that attempted to use Jesus as a ploy for explaining "their" belief in God without adding more fear by showing us what they looked like, was probably "perfect" to begin with. Therefore not needing a flood, or a Jesus. Therefore we would be the only ones in the Universe with the concept of Trinity in "our" Dogma.
