God's wisdom doesn't apply universally

Apparently the Christian God's wisdom that saved the Earth from the invasion of the Martians only applies to the Earth and doesn't matter to the rest of the same God's creations in the cosmos.

If you actually read the bible you find that it says "Let us create man in our image, a free thinking spirit". "A free thinking spirit" is the old way of saying "a free thinking mind". Its our mind that is in their image not our body. Hence ANY being with a free thinking mind (sentient/intelligent/self aware)is in gods image. The body doesn't matter. Examples can include dolphins, elephants, great apes, and of course aliens. Amazing how many so called believers don't read the 2nd half of that verse and think that god (a being made of energy possibly) must have 2 arms, 2 legs, and a big smelly hairy ass like us. Blind faith is unfortunately called that for a reason.

Only part of that is what the Bible says, and the other part is not in the Bible, it's just crap that you made up.

No it's not, and yes it is. And that's not what "image" means.

Speak for yourself. Godly people are not filthy and vulgar like atheists such as yourself, as proven in the quoted statement there.

Do you feel better now that you've lanced that boil?

...or its just being taken from the book; "the Martians--DEAD!--slain by the putrefactive and disease bacteria against which their systems were unprepared; slain as the red weed was being slain; slain, after all man's devices had failed, by the humblest things that God, in his wisdom, has put upon this earth."

Ever read them things, books?

and doesn't matter to the rest of the same God's creations in the cosmos.

For that to be true, you'd have to prove that the aliens are not minions of satan.

Just wait for the Trump era "re-visioning" of War of the Worlds.
In the new one, the Martians only die in Western Europe, Russia and the Americas.
The Martians get to stay in the non-Christian God regions
And Africa just gets it, North and South on general principles.
No more Islam, no more Hindus, no left but "Christian Nations"
The plutocrats that run the remaining human earth make a deal with the Martian-earth for space exploration, space mineral extraction, and the oil that is left.
In the emergency all the pesky liberal-democratic institutions are plowed under to make a one-human-world theo-authoritarian governing body to maintain autonomy from the Martians. A never-ending near emergency that justifies unlimited power for the rulers.
Happy Ending. (Or so the critic at Breitbart news reviewed it)
