Alien Life Will Be Found in Next 20 Years

Here is more evidence that the world is being prepared to accept "aliens".  This article is from Newsweek and was front headline on Google News yesterday.

A senior astronomer has said we will find intelligent alien life within the next 20 years.

Seth Shostak, from the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute, was speaking to Futurism at the Worlds Fair Nano NY, a festival held in New York, when he “bet everybody a cup of coffee” that the existence of intelligent extraterrestrials will be confirmed within the next two decades.

The astronomer said that in the last 20 years, understanding of the cosmos has expanded significantly it is now known just how many planets there are that could host alien life.

In the Milky Way there are an estimated 100,000 million stars and 100 billion planets, of which many are considered “potentially habitable”—meaning that they could have the conditions right for life to emerge. Furthermore, NASA recently said there could be 10 times more galaxies in the observable universe than previously thought.

While he says the existence of intelligent alien life will be confirmed in 20 years, Shostak said the chance of making contact is far less likely: “I mean if they’re 500 light years away ... you’ll hear a signal that’ll be 500 years old, and if you broadcast back ‘Hi we’re the Earthlings, how’re you doing?’—it’ll be 1,000 years before you hear back from them. If you ever hear back from them. So, it’s not exactly contact, but at least you know they’re there.”

Shostak is currently part of an ongoing debate about whether Earth should be actively sending messages into space in the hope of finding alien life. Stephen Hawking, for example, believes this is a very bad idea as we could be making any hostile extraterrestrials aware of our existence.

Despite these concerns, scientists at Messaging Extraterrestrial Intelligence (METI) are currently planning to reach out to any advanced civilizations next year.

METI president Douglas Vakoch told Motherboard in September: "One of the reasons people are so afraid of METI is that it seems riskier to do something than to do nothing. When we try to evaluate the risks and benefits of an unknown situation where we have little or no actual data, we fall back on the most vivid images that come to mind. But just because the first images of alien contact that come to mind are horrific, that doesn't mean they're realistic."

The Bible does confirm that there is plenty of intelligent life in the universe...they are called angels.

We are convinced that the "aliens" that have been appearing in UFO's in ever more frequent sightings are NOT coming from distant planets....but are in fact DEMONS IN DISGUISE.  They seem to have exploded into our consciousness since Israel became a nation back in 1947-1948.  We wonder if Satan understood the significance of Israel and the nearness of Jesus' return and put his "alien" deception into high gear to begin the great delusion? 

We have no doubt that if Christ soon comes for His bride like a thief in the night and millions of humans vanish into thin air...that the people left behind will totally believe that "aliens" were responsible.
