Is this surprising the observable universe shows no signs of life? The reasons why scientists choose to search for life in the universe is based upon one’s world view. A worldview comprises one’s collection of presuppositions, convictions, and values from which a person tries to understand and make sense out of the world and life. Every worldview starts with presuppositions, that is, beliefs that one presumes to be true without supporting independent evidence from other sources or systems. This is the result of what we have been taught as we were growing up and based upon our own life experiences. The Presuppositions we develop vastly affect our interpretation of scientific evidence. Both creationists and evolutionists approach observational science—such as the laws of physics or the laws governing genetic inheritance—very similarly. However, when it comes to how the laws of physics and genetic inheritance came into existence in the past, the presuppositions of the secular scientists govern their interpretations and conclusions. The basic premise is that evolution is how life began and therefore some scientists believe there is a need to search the galaxy for life. Scientific, philosophical, and theological evidence however speaks contrary to the mechanism of evolution for the origin of life. The Scriptures say the Lord God of Israel is the creator, the author, and the sustainor of life. We are told the heavens declare the glory of God. The Bible says he created man, and makes no mention of aliens in outer space. The scientific evidence points more and more towards these truths…
